UAB IT’s campus telecommunications team will be performing VoIP. Telephone maintenance beginning at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15. The maintenance will ensure the telephone certificate file is refreshed.  

Because VoIP telephone reboots are required to download the new certificate, there is a chance some phones may require a manual reset.

If your VoIP phone is not connecting and requires a reset, please refer to the steps below or the instructional videos for your phone version.
