SOT Meet-Me Facility

The basic paradigm is for the scientists to be working in their own offices on their own workstations, which they will have configured in standard ways to get access to data and to use standard tools as desired, supplemented by custom configurations to use all other useful software. Off-hours, they may be logged in remotely, or be only in voice contact.

General use

Harvard can set up a conference call with about 1/2 hour lead time - cost:
$ 0.032 per minute for attended 800 meet me calls

Details

To set up the conference call with an MCI teleconference operator you can call 800-593-9900. Please use the Harvard University Authorization Code "3961720V". For billing purposes, the MCI operator will ask for the billing number - the user should then provide the Harvard telephone number that the call should be billed to (your number).

You do not need to be on a Harvard phone to set this up! You only need to know your office number- others phone may be anywhere. Be sure to give the operator your office telephone number to bill. The charges for each call will be processed through SAO's or HCO's normal telephone monthly billing system.
