This is an announcement from Technology Services (TS). Please see details below.

 

Update: This maintenance is taking longer than expected.  We will update when we are finished with the work.  Thank you for your patience.

 

NETWORK: Library Network Maintenance

July 7th, 2020 – 6:45pm to 11:00pm

 

SYSTEMS IMPACTED:  All Network services will be impacted in Library including VOIP and Wireless.

This maintenance will cause intermittent downtime to all network services and Internet access for periods of 15-30 minutes as the switches are loaded with new firmware and are rebooted.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

In the event that we have a longer than anticipated outage, we will send out an update.

All network services including phones/VOIP, remoting into computers or accessing resources (ie cameras) in Library via the VPN or from other areas on campus will not function
