Telework
Last Updated: 26/03/2022
In teleworking the devices and means of connectivity are not in the Infrastructure of Iscte and for this reason attention should be redoubled.
Moving Iscte Worstation to Home
Before moving the Iscte workstation to home, the employee must obtain the proper authorization of the person responsible for the service.
This should forward the request to the SIIC by completing the form provided here.
Workers who do not have their workstation administration privileges (desktop or laptop) must request vpn setup before moving their equipment home.
If the workstation is a desktop computer, they must request a network cable for internet access at home, because iscte desktop computers do not have a wireless network card.
VPN
Through vpn it is possible to access from anywhere services only available on iscte’s internal network.
Rerouting phone calls
Requests for rerouting of telephone calls must be made by the person responsible for the service.
See the configuration manuals of the VoIP softphones of Iscte here.
Best Practices
In teleworking all recommendations for the use of computer media in face-to-face work are also applicable.
