Connect campus calls and announcements.

Bring campus phones, existing analog endpoints and SIP paging into a centrally managed OpenVox voice system designed around administrative and communication tasks.

OpenVox UCP platform connecting campus voice and paging

The campus challenge

Bring phones, offices and paging together.

Administrative teams, classrooms and public areas may rely on different endpoint types and communication methods.

A campus voice design combines retained analog phones, SIP endpoints, business calling and paging functions under a centrally managed UCP architecture.

ADMIN

Administrative office calling

Use business calling, transfer and forwarding for daily internal and external communication.

CLASSROOM

Existing classroom phones

Retain validated analog endpoints through FXS gateway capacity.

PUBLIC AREA

Campus announcements

Deliver paging to defined endpoint groups for routine or urgent information.

MULTISITE

Several buildings or campuses

Use distributed networking and SIP interconnection for shared management.

Facility voice roles

Map each area to the voice role it needs.

Analog gateways bring existing phones into SIP, UCP manages business calls and paging, and distributed networking can extend the design across campus zones or sites.

Administrative offices

Business calling, transfer and permissions

Classrooms and service areas

Analog or SIP phone requirements

Paging groups

Routine and priority voice announcements

Additional campus site

Distributed UCP or SIP interconnection where required

Map communication tasks before products and endpoints.

The project begins with zones, users, existing phones, paging groups, trunks and continuity requirements.

  1. Map campus zones

    List offices, classrooms, public areas and additional sites.

  2. Classify endpoints

    Record analog phones, SIP phones and paging endpoints.

  3. Define call and paging rules

    Set numbering, permissions, transfer and group communication.

  4. Match architecture

    Select UCP, gateway and continuity roles according to the campus map.

Central call control for retained phones.

Based on an OpenVox education deployment and UCP capability documentation.

Education deployment

An OpenVox education case uses UCP, PSTN access, wireless backup and IAG gateways.

  • CASE

Existing phones retained

IAG gateways connected the customer’s existing analog office phones.

Proof chips
  • ANALOG

Central call management

The deployment introduced shared internal and external calling management.

Proof chips
  • CALLING

UCP communication functions

UCP documentation includes paging, hotline and priority calling capabilities.

Proof chips
  • PAGING

Build one voice plan for every campus zone.

Share buildings, users, existing phones, paging groups, trunks and continuity requirements. OpenVox can help define the UCP, gateway and SIP roles.
