About desk phones
We offer various setups for Griffith extensions and desk phones — see details below and please discuss your requirements with your supervisor.
Existing desk phones: your department may have a spare extension you can take ownership of with approval from your supervisor or School Secretary.
New desk phones and extensions: purchase costs for new handsets will be paid from a central University account for all Griffith staff. Approval from Head of School, Department or Director is required.
Call costs: all call and line rental costs associated with your extension are paid from a central University account. Phone usage is monitored and reported to on a monthly basis.
What is a phone profile?
A phone profile links your Griffith ID (sNumber) against a Griffith extension number to allow configurations that are specific to you, including voicemail, line appearances, services and speed dials. Once you have phone profile, you can use services such as extension mobility and jabber.
Your phone profile is set up when you are allocated a Griffith extension after completing one of the following forms:
Moving desk? Request new extension or desk phone Login phone from different location
Setup phone profile
If your phone was used by someone before you, you may need to change the owner of extension / update the phone profile so your Griffith ID (sNumber) is linked to the extension. Once you have a phone profile, you will need to setup the voice mailbox on your video phone before you can access any messages.
Change owner or feature of extension or desk phone

How to Fix a Video Phone Fault
To fix faults with video phones, simply unplug your phone cable from the network port, wait 20 seconds and then reconnect. This can help resolve the following faults:
- Handset not registering correctly
- Frozen, dark or time out screen
- No dial tone

Restart your phone
Many phone faults (desk and mobile) can be resolved without having a technician involved by simply rebooting or restarting.
A reboot can be achieved either by unplugging your hardware or powering it off for a short time and then restarting.
If the problem still persists, log a phone fault by in the phone fault form and sumbitting.
