UW-Whitewater Supported Resources for Remote Working

Work on files that I usually access from campus on my Network Drives (e.g. G:, H:, T:).

VPN (Cisco AnyConnect)

• Get connected BEFORE you need to access files remotely, so you can get support from the Help Desk if you have trouble.
• If you are accessing network files (G:Drive and T:Drive) from a home device, you will need to map them.
  
  

Use my computer to make/receive calls from my work phone number, as well as access my voicemail.

Webex

• Webex is installed on all campus-provided computers. Just open and enter your email, then NET-ID and password to get started! 
• View our Webex Messaging page for more information and guides on how to use Webex for calling.
• Please DO NOT forward your work phone to a cell phone, there is not enough call capacity to handle all campus employees. Instead, download the Webex app to your home computer or mobile device.
• Review training/documentation resources to familiarize yourself with what you can all do with Webes!
