Before you install the Avaya One-X Communicator software, your extension will need to be configured to use the softphone (submit a request to the IT Service Desk). There is a $25.00 one time charge associated with the service. Also, if you plan on using this application off campus, you will need to be connected to the secure portal (connect.ouhsc.edu) and have elevated vpn access (VPN-GROUP-2). You will need to make this request through your computer suport person (tier1).
