The UNI voice network (phone services) is available to employees and guests of the University of Basel for business use. Other university-related units (associated organisations such as Swisspeace, FMI, Swiss TPH) can also use the service. The University of Basel provides all users with a self-care portal on which interactive video instructions for the Cisco IP-Phones 8841 and 8851 as well as instructions for Jabber for Windows, MAC, Android and iPhone can be found. However, many settings such as programming keys, voice mail configuration, and redirects can also be done through the self-help portal. To do so, click on the button below and log in with your email address and the corresponding password.
So far this is not possible, the corresponding functionality will be delivered in a later phase.
In general: Press the softkey with "two dots" to get to the second page. Press the "do not disturb" softkey there. If there is an incoming call: Press the "do not disturb" softkey.
Login with your email address is only possible if your phone has been personalized. You can recognize this by the fact that your name appears on the display. Personalization is not possible if you share your phone with others. If your account has not yet been personalised, even though you are using the phone alone, please contact the Service Desk.
Based on the example number 061 123 45 67, the following number formats are permitted:
The timer is set to 15 seconds by default and cannot be changed by the user. If it needs to be adjusted, please contact the Service Desk.
No, only these four buttons are available on the phone for free programming.
Yes, up to 199 speed dial numbers can be stored. Depending on the button layout on the phone, the first 4 speed dial numbers are automatically programmed directly to the button. If I want to dial speed dial 190 as an example, I proceed as follows:
Press the directory key on the phone (symbol: phone book) and select personal directory. Use your University of Basel email address as the user ID. The PIN must first be defined via the Cisco Self Care Portal under General Settings.
Yes, the personal directory is maintained via this setting.
To reset your PIN, please contact the Service Desk.
Voicemail is not activated by default. If this is required, please contact the Service Desk.
IT Services is responsible for changes. Please contact the Service Desk with the necessary information.
Faxes and other modulated services in the voice transmission band no longer achieve the same level of reliability in the IP environment. It is not possible to make concrete statements about this in individual cases, since various factors such as the type of device, device settings, the type of connection of the device to the IP network at the sender as well as at the receiver, have a significant influence on the transmission quality. Due to the technology, incomplete display of the documents or even complete interruption of the transmission may occur. Increased difficulties must be expected, especially in international transmission.
Depending on the model, the commands may differ slightly. In this case, please contact the Service Desk.
IT Services is responsible for replacing defective VoIP devices. Please contact the ServiceDesk with the necessary information.
Please check/test the following steps one by one:
Make sure there is an existing internet connection.
Restart the Jabber software.
Reset the Jabber software.
Restart your computer.
Log out of Jabber. On the login screen that appears, you will find the link to reset Jabber under the "Sign In" button. How to log out is explained in the UC Trainer under "Log in/Log out".
Explanations about the settings can be found in the UC Trainer under "Options".
This option is only available if the other party has effectively logged into Jabber. If they are calling from a phone, a chat reply is not possible.
You can find an overview of the available shortcuts here.
The locations depend on the network. If a new network location is detected, it can be named. This will automatically add the current location to the status (e.g. Home Office). This feature can be disabled in the options.
The Jabber client only "gets" calls/chat messages when it is registered. Any calls/messages that come in while a Jabber client (whether desktop or mobile) is not registered are not logged. Hence the discrepancy. Only chat rooms (group chats) are synced across devices.
You can create and administrate chat rooms in the Jabber Client by yourself. If you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk.
Currently the address book is provided directly by the VoIP server. In the future, the AD (Active Directory) will be defined as the source.
In CTI mode you only control your phone with the Jabber software (dial number, answer call etc.). In Softphone mode you make calls via your computer. So there is no need for a telephone anymore. Instead you need a headset which is connected to your computer. The mode can be switched in the Jabber client at the bottom left (phone or computer icon).
The University of Basel promotes modern methods of communication and cooperation among its employees and operates networked information supply services for this purpose. The following principles apply to the provision of mobile communications equipment:
Model 1 is intended for combined business and private use. Model 2 is a purely business model.
Most applications are booked in model 1, in which the University of Basel pays a contribution margin determined by the managing directors. For invoices that exceed the contribution margin, an invoice for the difference is sent to the private address (hence the recording of the private address in the application form). Model 2 is strictly for business use. In model 2, the device and subscription are financed by the University of Basel. The choice of device is limited to the models listed in the application form for model 2. These are specified by the university and are continuously adapted. A typical Model 2 user would be, for example, the technical service of a faculty.
Applications should be discussed in advance in the individual faculties. The decision-makers are normally the departmental managers. The application is forwarded to the managing director via the applicant. The latter then submits it to the IT Services Service Desk. Applications must be submitted in full, i.e. with the completed form for the relevant model and any porting or transfer forms.
You can find the forms on the intranet of the University of Basel. Please note that access to the intranet is only possible with VPN access activated.
If the forms have been approved by your managing director, you can send them electronically to the address support-its@clutterunibas.ch.

The warranty certificate is enclosed with the mobile phone when it is delivered to the user. All warranty and liability claims can therefore be made directly against the supplier of the device. The IT-Services accepts no responsibility for damaged/lost devices after delivery. Please report the loss of your mobile phone immediately to the following number and also to the ServiceDesk(support-its@clutterunibas.ch, +41 61 207 14 11):
You can activate data packages and other settings in the Swisscom Cockpit app. This can be downloaded free of charge from the relevant store.
All accessories must be purchased independently. The NATEL® go offer from the University of Basel is limited to the mobile phone and the associated subscription.
If I have installed the Cockpit App from Swisscom on my mobile phone, I can define via "Menu/Call settings/Incoming calls" in which state a call forwarding should take place (Immediately/After time/When busy or When not available).
Forwarding Immediately: **21* then destination number and terminate with # and press handset key so that the sequence is dialed.
Forwarding after time: **61* then destination number and terminate with # and press handset key so that the sequence is dialled.
Call forwarding when not available: **62* then destination number and terminate with # and press handset key so that the sequence is dialed
Call forwarding on busy: **67* then destination number and terminate with # and press handset key so that the sequence is dialled.
Example: immediate call forwarding from one mobile phone to another mobile phone: **21*079xxxxx#.
Immediate call forwarding: #21# and press the handset key to dial the sequence.
Call forwarding after time: #61# and press the handset key so that the sequence is dialed.
Call forwarding when unavailable: #62# and press the handset key so that the sequence is dialled.
Call forwarding on busy: #67# and press handset key so that the sequence is dialed.
You can query the status of your call forwarding by entering *#21#, *#61#, *#62# or *#67# in your mobile keypad, depending on your query request.
Alternatively, call forwarding can also be defined via the mobile device (via the settings in iOS or Android). We won't go into details here, as this varies from device to device.
