WARNINGS and status update, 12/8/2012
WARNINGS
WHO WHEN and WHEN:: Everyone in ST Olin this week and next (12/and Baker Lab
WHEN:
WHAT:o everyone, applicable to ST Olin now, and to Baker Lab in the future)
WHERE: Over the next two weeks (12/10-12/22/12), in ST Olin.
WHAT: Transitioning computers, printers, and phones from the old wiring to the new wiring.
IMPACT: Downtime will occur as As a result of the transition to new wiring, downtime will occur. It is anticipated . Specifically, we anticipate that:
- phone downtime will be kept at under half an hour.
- network downtime should be under a few minutes.
Please be aware that a large number of network devices, primarily printers, will be changing network addresses. This will require you to make making configuration changes on your computers each computer and printer to re-establish connectivity to these devices. 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.
That be said, please understand if we can't immediately fix your transition connectivity issues. We might not be able to come immediately to fix your problems, but promise that we will get to you as quickly as possible. Our office For ST Olin, we will work "floor-by-floror" to help concentrate CRCF staff's efforts We will naturally work to get to any problems reported as quickly as possible, but we recognize that we won't necessarily be as responsive as we normally can be. Indeed, this is a project in which we will depend on each group's "group liaison" to assist us CRCF staff in determining if users are having problems.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we, together, work though any transition connectivity problems. Thank you!
STATUS UPDATE
ST Olin project status:
- Over the next two weeks (12/10-12/22/12), 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 new RedRover wireless access points in ST Olin. This should provide 100% RedRover coverage in ST Olin for all devices. Chemistry IT has started to remove our wireless networks from ST Olin and we hope in the 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:
...
At this point, users in Baker Lab should not worry. No changes 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 the actual transition.ST Olin project status: As of December 6th, 2012, CIT has turned on approximately 60 new RedRover wireless access points in ST Olin.
