This application allows you to answer office phone calls via an IUP owned Laptop/PC while working from home. If you are interested in this product; please review the below items to help us setup your account efficiently.

• Please confirm whether you are installing on an IUP owned laptop/PC.
  • Note: If you install the softphone client on a personal laptop/PC; IT Services will not be responsible to troubleshoot issues as it is not IUP owned equipment.
• Please provide your VoIP Office phone number:
• Please note your First / Last name so we can confirm ownership of the phone line:
• Please provide a cost center number – this feature is $1.50 / month and will be reflected in monthly billing costs:

Additional information about the WebEx softphone client to be aware of:

Once we have all items in line; we will instruct you to follow the attached instructions to download the application and log in correctly.

Note: If you’ve had this feature enabled in the past; you can continue to use this feature; it is recommended that you submit a request via ihelp to have your account to be setup with the new WebEx softphone client.
