CHMI Contact List
To access the CHMI Contact List you can use this link: CHMI Contact List. You will only have access if you are CHMI Staff or Trainees. If you don't have access but believe you should please contact Brendon Panke (bjpanke@wisc.edu).
The Basics
- The Kennedy Building exclusively uses new, digital VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephones. These phones are essentially small, phone-shaped computers that connect over ethernet and send / receive speech as digital signals.
- New phones and numbers need to be provisioned by DoIT and plugged into an activated network jack.
- Please contact one of our authorized users; Brendon (bjpanke@wisc.edu), Sarah Keib (keib@wisc.edu), or Brittany Thomson (brittany.thomson@wisc.edu); to coordinate any phone set up. Do not move your phone to a new jack without consulting Brendon or Sarah (your phone won't work).
