Baker Lab, second half of February.
WHEN and WHERE: NowStarting next week, and over the next two weeks (122/1018-12/22/123/1-2013), in ST Olin Baker Lab. Changes are expected mostly in the mornings, until about 1pm each day.
...
- phone downtime will be kept at under half an hour.
- network downtime should be under a few minutes.
- all phones and network devices are working correctly by the end of each work day.
For ST OlinBaker Lab, we will work "floorresearch group-by-floor" research group to help concentrate CRCF staff's efforts.
Please be aware that a large number of network devices, primarily including some printers, will be changing network addresses. This will require making configuration changes on each computer to re-establish connectivity to the printers, for example. Chemistry IT (CRCF) will attempt to provide as much information and direct assistance as possible to research group liaisons on the changes. And we will assist any user that needs assistance during and after the transition.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we, together, work though any transition connectivity problems. Thank you!
STATUS UPDATE
ST Olin Baker Lab project status:
- Over the next two weeks (12/10-12/22/12This week (week of 2/12/13), CIT and Chemistry IT will be transitioning computers and phones from the old wiring to the new wiring.As of December 6th, 2012, CIT has turned on approximately 60 will be turning on many new RedRover wireless access points in ST OlinBaker Lab. This should provide 100% RedRover coverage in ST Olin Baker Lab for all devices. As this happens, Chemistry IT has started will start to remove our wireless networks from ST Olin Baker Lab and we hope in by the end of next week to remove all Chemistry IT wireless devices from the building and finish the transition of users to using RedRover networks.
Baker Lab project status:
- Over an up-coming two-week period (2/18-3/1-2013), CIT and Chemistry IT will be transitioning computers and phones from the old wiring
- At this point, users in Baker Lab should not worry about seeing any transition changes. No changes affecting computers, printers, or phones are planned for Baker Lab until the very last week of January at the earliest. We will work with the appropriate research groups and administrative offices on the transition schedule once we get closer to when we can make the transition.
- As of 12/8/12, CIT's contractors are still running the necessary wiring to all appropriate locations in Baker Lab. The contractors hope to complete the wiring by the second week of January, if not sooner. Once the contractors are finish, CIT will do their work to prepare the new wiring and will coordinate with Chemistry IT to transition users and computers to the new wiring.
As If you have any questions or concerns during this project and transition, please do not hesitate to stop by our office in 250 Baker Lab, call us at 607-255-6278, or email us at crcf//AT//cornell.edu.
