IT Support Services – Notice of Planned Downtime

System:  VOIP (Voice Over IP) Telephone and Voicemail System

Downtime Begins:  5 PM, Wednesday, June 15, 2016

Downtime Ends:  7 PM, Wednesday, June 15, 2016

Impact to You:  The VOIP telephone and voicemail system will be unavailable during the planned downtime window.  While phones are down, persons outside the university making calls to VOIP phones will hear a fast busy signal, and will not be able to leave voicemail messages.

Please note the following emergency communication information:

  • During the downtime, UMW Police can be reached at 540-654-1025 from a cell or off-campus phone.
  • The UMW Police Emergency number 540-654-4444 WILL be in service if dialed from a cell or off-campus phone.
  • Blue Light Emergency Phones WILL be in service during the downtime.
  • UMW fax machines are connected to analog phone lines, not VOIP, so they will continue to operate normally during the downtime.
  • If your fax machine includes a handset, it can be used to contact UMW Police or other numbers off-campus during the downtime.

Updates:  If needed, updates will be posted to our Twitter feed: (http://twitter.com/umwIT)
