Administrative office calling
Use business calling, transfer and forwarding for daily internal and external communication.
Connect campus calls and announcements.
Bring campus offices, classrooms, retained phones and paging zones into one coordinated communications plan so each area can use the calling and announcement paths its work requires.
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.
Existing classroom phones
Retain validated analog endpoints through FXS gateway capacity.
Campus announcements
Deliver paging to defined endpoint groups for routine or urgent information.
Several buildings or campuses
Use distributed networking and SIP interconnection for shared management.
Campus architecture
Connect phones and paging through one managed calling core.
Administrative offices, classrooms, service areas and paging groups can share one communication plan while each campus zone keeps the endpoint role it needs.

Inter-site calling and local access
Start with campus zones
Identify buildings, service areas and the users responsible for each communication task.
Separate call and paging roles
Do not treat every endpoint or announcement group as the same requirement.
Apply one managed call plan
Keep numbering, permissions and paging behavior reviewable from the shared core.
Map communication tasks before products and endpoints.
The project begins with zones, users, existing phones, paging groups, trunks and continuity requirements.
Map campus zones
List offices, classrooms, public areas and additional sites.
Classify endpoints
Record analog phones, SIP phones and paging endpoints.
Define call and paging rules
Set numbering, permissions, transfer and group communication.
Match architecture
Select UCP, gateway and continuity roles according to the campus map.
Combine core, analog access and trunk paths.
The final design assigns each OpenVox product family a defined campus responsibility.
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.

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.
