With the BU IP (AKA Avaya) phone system, your phone account and extension number technically have two passwords associated with it. They are separate, unique passwords.


  • Extension Password - This password is bound to your phone extension number, and used to 'join' your phone extension number to a physical desk phone, which is covered within this guide. 
  • Voicemail Password - This password is associated to your phone extension, but is only used for accessing voicemail messages. Your extension's voicemail password is NOT your extension password, and vice versa. 


With the combination of your phone Extension Number and Extension Password, the phone system on-campus allows you to log out & log in to the physical desk phone, just the same as if logging in to a computer. Logging into a phone with your extension puts your extension on that phone, until you log out. This ability to 'move' your extension from one phone to another removes the need to physically move the desk phone when moving offices or changing locations on-campus.
