EC500 is turned on for your extension through programming performed by Wichita State
University, ITS Telecommunications Services. When this feature is activated it will
ring your desk phone and your remote phone (usually cell, but can be any external
number) at the same time. Because of the association between your remote phone and
your desk phone, calls to campus from your remote phone will appear to come from your
desk phone (see below for instructions on calls to off-campus numbers). This can be
a more professional presentation and will ensure your remote number not circulated.
A new button will be availavle on your phone the EC500 activation/deactivation button
and the light will shine on theat button when it is activated. See below for instructions
on how to turn this on/off remotely.
The next button down is the Extend Call button and will bridge an active call to your remote phone. When pressed during an
active call, your remote phone will ring without alerting the party you are talking
to. You can then answer the remote phone, hang up the desk phone and walk out of your
office continuing the call on your remote phone.

- Dial 9 for an outside line
- If calling long distance, dial 1, then the area code and the number
- Please remember, if you have restricted long distance on your desk phone (long distance PIN code is required), you will need to dial it at this point

- Their caller ID will show your campus number, not your cell number
*These calls will last only a few seconds and then will disconnect automatically,
but the remote actions described above allow you to make or take calls. To make all
of these remote actions easier, you can create contacts and speed dials on your cell
phone to quickly make these calls.
