The Weizmann Institute maintains Unified Communication & Collaboration (UCC) capabilities. These include new IP and Soft(ware) phones, video and audio conferencing, instant messaging (chat), desktop sharing and presence information.
IP Phones
The following IP phones are deployed throughout the institute:
- Executive IP phones (with optional expansion keypad) - for managers and administrative assistants
- Standard IP phones - for scientists and other Institute employees
- Basic IP phones - for labs and public spaces
- IP phones for conference rooms
IP Phone Licenses
We maintain the following IP phone licenses:
- CUWL Standard - license for executive and employee IP phones; includes handset licensing, voice mailbox, soft phone, tablet application, etc.
- Enhanced - license for conference room telephones (includes handset licensing only)
- Essential - license for public space IP telephones (IP-3905)
- WebEx - license for collaboration tools, including audio/video conferencing (WebEx is offered as a new service at the Institute, with WebEx licenses provided to service registrants)
IP phones require no additional network sockets. The phones connect to existing network sockets, with computers then connected to them via standard network cables.
Self Administration and Customization
IP phone users (and even Institute employees without IP phones) can administer and customize a range of telephony features (such as call forwarding and mobility) on the Myiptel Web portal. To use the portal, access http://myiptel via your browser.
