Exchange 2007 & VoIP Voicemail Feature

We have started transitioning phone services to our new VoIP system. Those of you who have been transitioned to the Exchange 2007 mail server and the new VoIP system will notice a new change in Outlook.

Click on the Tools menu and select Options. You will then see the Options dialog box.



Click on the Voice Mail tab.



If you forget your voice mail PIN, you will find an option to request a reset. You will also see an option to change your outgoing greeting on your phone.

We also have a few tutorials available on our software guides page for the new phone system and the Cisco Handsets. We encourage you to check them out.

Next Phase of Exchange 2007 Migration

Anyone who currently has a Voice over IP phone (a Cisco handset) and are still on IMAP/unxmail will be converted to Exchange 2007 on Tuesday, June 24th. An email was sent out over the weekend to those who will be a part of this next phase of the Exchange 2007 migration.

For those on PCs, you can find instructions on setting up your new Exchange account online at: http://www.shsu.edu/exchangesetup

For those on a Mac or using another email client other than Outlook, you will need to use the following settings.

Incoming Mail Server: cas.shsu.edu
Port: 993
Use SSL

Outgoing Mail Server: The outgoing mail server will remain the same (smtp.shsu.edu).

When checking your email from an off campus location you will need to select "Exchange Mail" from the University Fast Links or click on the "Exchange Mail" link in the orange section on the SHSU main web page.

If you need assistance after your mailbox has been moved, please place a workorder or contact the Helpdesk at x4-1950.
