More CTIO Phone Changes (1Sep92) (from CTIO, NOAO Newsletter No. 31, 1 September 1992) Once again, we have made (or had done to us) a variety of changes to the CTIO phone and FAX system. We now have the capability to direct-dial CTIO extensions (both La Serena and Tololo) from the outside. To direct-dial a CTIO extension from the US, dial: 011 (56-51) 20-5XXX where XXX is the CTIO extension number. Some useful extensions are: 4-m console: 400, 401 1.5-m console: 464, 466 1.0-m console: 472 0.9-m console: 469 Schmidt: 474 Director's Office: 217, 215 The main switchboard number, 22-5415, continues unchanged and can be used for those cases where you cannot find the person you want or do not know the extension. Since it is possible to reach extensions directly, we expect to be cutting back CTIO switchboard hours in the near future. An operator will always be available during regular working hours, but there will probably be reductions in the late evening and on weekends and holidays. Because of this new capability, it is now possible to send FAXes directly to the machine on extension 342 (local number 20-5342). As a result, the dedicated number announced in the June 1992 Newsletter (local number 21-4458) will be removed from service for FAXes after 15 September; please do not use it any more. The FAX on Tololo (20-5462) can now also be accessed directly. PLEASE DO NOT use this FAX to send visitor questionnaires or other material that has to be processed by the Scheduling Office; the La Serena FAX should always be used for such material. Finally, the Santiago Office FAX number has also been changed. To direct dial from the US, use: 011 (56-2) 209-6568 Jay Elias, Enrique Figueroa
