Telephone exchange

Have you already dialled 67788?

The old Cisco telephones in our telephone system are now getting on in years and need to be replaced. To this end, BITS is now replacing all configured and ready-to-use old phones (and ATA boxes) with new devices free of charge.

The new phones have a larger colour display, a modern design and will continue to be supplied with the latest security updates.

To switch to the new phone, please follow these steps:

  1. On the old phone, dial 67788 and you will hear a tape announcement.
  2. You now have 24 hours to dismantle the old telephone and return it to the BITS Support Office (BITS-Beratung) for a new device.
  3. You then reconnect the new telephone to the same connection and the device automatically reconfigures itself. After approx. 15 minutes, the new telephone is ready for use with all previous settings.
    Note: If the new telephone asks for a "Primary Extension/PIN" in between, nothing should be entered or pressed. The phone is configured completely automatically.
  4. Your new phone is now ready for exchange at the BITS-Beratung (main building, room A0-301). Opening hours: Mon-Fri, 09:30-16:00.

Please do not hesitate to replace your phone soon!
