Avaya Workplace

Avaya Workplace is a software application (softphone) that runs on your work computer and can augment your desktop phone or replace it entirely. The software application is a great way to take your phone while traveling around campus or working from home (via Husky OnNet). If you choose to run the softphone client, it is recommended that you purchase a headset. Tested models can be found in the headset section below. Headsets must be purchased through your standard ordering channels.

Avaya Workplace can be used alongside your desktop phone, accepting/making calls from either. Or you could choose to turn in your desktop phone and only use the Workplace application.

As you use a softphone, it is recommended that you use wired data connected to your computer. Since Wi-Fi is a shared medium, you could experience degraded audio depending on proximity and number of other users sharing the Wi-Fi access point. Some types of network devices, such as firewalls, could impact the usability of the Softphone service. Contact customer services for additional information.

SecureCRT

SecureCRT is a software terminal emulator that allows SSH (Secure Shell) to access a remote computer or server. SecureCRT supports VT100 emulation, telnet, SSH, Kerberos, and serial port connections. It comes with a scripting language and can be used across Ethernet networks or dial-up connections. The default connection type is SSH2, which complies with the goals for terminal connections to UWIT servers.

  • Share screens and host real-time video conversations
