Overview
There is an online portal you can use to manage your extension whether you are on- or off-campus, or if you have a Grandstream phone, a Zulu softphone, or just an extension. The dashboard allows you to perform a range of features, the most common of which are outlined here.
The URL for the VoIP Dashboard is:
go.carleton.edu/voipdashboard
Access the VoIP Dashboard
- If you are off-campus, turn on the VPN

- Visit go.carleton.edu/voipdashboard
- Sign in with your username (not full email) and password
- If you are visiting for the first time you will need to set up a dashboard, and if you're returning you can edit the widgets that appear on your dashboard
Setup or Edit the Dashboard
The first time you visit the VoIP Dashboard for your Grandstream phone, you'll see an exclamation icon in the middle of the screen. Click it and you'll be prompted to name the dashboard (i.e. phone dashboard).
