New Telephone System

(1 / 5)


To :  Atari and Tengen Employees

Atari has adquired a new telephone system and voice mail as well. This means
that in the near future, there will be a new telephone on your desk. Along
with your new telephone, you will also have your own personalized voice mail
box. The new phones operate slightly different from the current ones, however
they are much easier to operate.

The cutover for the new system has been scheduled for February 15,16,and 17.
During these three days, there will be no incoming or outgoing calls to Atari or
Tengen. We hope that the transsision goes smoothly, and if everything goes as
planned you will have your new telephones on the 18th of February. There will
be two technicians from PacTel Meridian Systems and myself to assist you with
any questions that you might have.

The new telephone system is distributed by Pactel Meridian Systems and is
manufactured by Northern Telecom. If you have any questions or concerns 
regarding this matter, I can be reached at Extention 1710.

To all Atari and Tengen employees

If you have an extention that it is not listed in the telephone directory
or if you have a modem number, I must have these numbers before the  15th
of January. We are currently working on the floor plan for the new tele -
phone system and we don't have and accurate extention or modem count. 
During the cutover to the new telephone system, we will be focusing only
on those extentions that are accounted for. In order to avoid any inconve-
niences, please forward all your information to GILBERT ESTRADA--EXT  1710.

When forwarding any information, please specify :

                 Full Name,  Extention or Modem, Department, Area.

The installation of the new telephone system has been delayed until 
04/17/92, due to additional preparations that need to be made before 
the system can be installed.

Effective January 27, 1992 calls dialed to the oakland/east bay area 
must include the 510 area code. Calls dialed without the 510 area code 
will not be complete, and callers will reach a recorded announcement 
with a reminder to dial  (510) before the 7 digit telephone number.

New telephone system (notes"

(5 / 5)


As of April 20th 1992, All employees must first dial an   8  in order
to abtain an outside line. We are currently using 9 to dial out, but
due to Tengen's extentions starting with 9, we had to change it to 8.
You may not know but in reality Tengen's extentions start with a 9
instead of a 4. As of April 20th, whenever dialing a Tengen extention
you must also include the 9, for example :

                   Deborah Geyer's extention is  427

                   As of April 20th, will be     9427.

There will be no three digit extentions as of April 20th.
