I want to use my work phone for MFA, but I work remotely a few days a week. What can I do?

Summary

Enrolled for MFA and looking for a way to make and receive your MFA code through your office extension when working from home? The 3CX softphone allows you to make and receive calls as if it were a physical desktop phone.

Body

When would you use this?

If you telework and plan to receive your MFA code via your office extension, ensure your office extension forwards all calls directly to the computer used for teleworking. The 3CX softphone allows you to make and receive calls as though it were a physical desktop phone.

 

Instructions:

  • Request a softphone via the myit service catalog
  • Review the welcome email that was originally sent with your voicemail login information and extension or with your soft phone request response
  • Download the 3CX app for windows
  • In your welcome email, double click the attached configuration file. This file will provide the app with all your extension and login information.

 

Environment/Applies To:

Windows and remote work 

 

Additional Information:

Softphones are beneficial because you use your internet connection to make and receive calls. This help saves on your monthly phone bill, with no need for landlines or handsets.
