UWA Phones

UWA Telephone Exchange

UWA operates an Ericsson private branch exchange (PBX) at the Crawley, Nedlands, Claremont and Shenton Park campuses.

A range of Ericsson Digital and industry standard analog handsets are available and the system may be configured to provide a variety of services to each handset including password control of access and use of account codes. Some detailed user instructions are provided elsewhere in these web pages. The UWA PBX indial number range is

6488 1000 to 9999

UWA uses the services of TELSTRA, AAPT and a private network to place calls outside the campus. The carrier to be used is selected by the PBX and cannot be controlled by the caller. Calls are charged to departments at a rate based on TELSTRA standard charge with some discounts on long distance calls. Internal calls are free.

Part of the call discounts that the University obtains from the carriers are used to offset the cost of running the PBX.

Voice Message System

A basic voice mail service is provided free with all UWA extensions. Enhanced voice processing features such as individual fax services and computer interface via the campus network are available for a small annual charge.

Telephone Handsets

There are 2 basic types of telephone connections to the PBX, industry standard analog service as normally provided to homes and businesses and Ericsson proprietry digital connections. For use of faxes, modems, and telephone units such as remote handsets and answering machines purchased from retail outlets an analog connection is required. To be able to access all the features available on the Ericsson PBX an Ericsson Digital connection and Handset is required.

Departments are responsible for handset and connection costs. Details of the handsets and associated costs are available in the charge tables.
