Q. Can departments advertise on the LED screen south of the new parking garage?

Yes, for a fee. See the new Message Board Procedures and Policies webpage for costs, message requirements, scheduling procedures, and other details.

The “K-State Message Board” (as it’s officially known) went live June 11 and actually has nothing to do with the parking garage, other than being located south of it and visible to Anderson Avenue drivers. The June 12 news release from K-State News Services quoted Bernard Pitts, Union director:

“We find ourselves in the era of communications and the LED is just one of the mediums available to convey our messages,” Pitts said. “The message board concept originated from the loss of street presence for the K-State Student Union with the construction of the parking garage.

How to prepare for voicemail transition to Modular Messaging Jan. 8

Posted on by msmall

Computing and Telecommunications Services will switch voicemail systems from Audix to Modular Messaging Jan. 8, 2010. Modular Messaging offers users the advantages of accessing voicemail messages not only through traditional dial-in, but also through the Web or by using an IMAP-configured e-mail client.

The voicemail phone number is not changing with this transition. Users will continue to access voicemail by dialing the same phone number they have always used to retrieve voicemail, 2-2300 (on-campus) or 785-532-2300 (off-campus).

After the transition, all unread and saved messages on Audix will be available for retrieval and playback by dialing 2-0000 (on-campus) or (785) 532-0000 (off-campus).

The Modular Messaging system will make it unnecessary to use the Message Manager application, as users will be able to access messages via the Web or with an IMAP-configured e-mail client. (To learn how, see the Voicemail website.) Billing for Message Manager will be cancelled automatically, starting Jan. 1.

Reminder: Audix voicemail retiring Jan. 8; no Message Manager

Posted on by Betsy Edwards

On Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, K-State’s current Audix voicemail system will be replaced with a new system named Modular Messaging. One of the effects of this change is that the Message Manager software application — which allows K-Staters to receive, manage, and store voicemail on a PC — will no longer be supported.

According to Computing and Telecommunications Services, all K-State voicemail users will be required to set up their new accounts with a new password and personal greeting when the new voicemail system is implemented.
