[All_jlab_accounts] CNI Maintenance & Public Address System Test: Tonight 5-7 p.m.

[deborah magaldi]

*Jefferson Lab's CNI Maintenance Period Tonight, 5-7 p.m.*

The IT Division's CNI group is planning a systems and network 
maintenance period for this evening (Tuesday, Dec. 17), 5-7 p.m. During 
this time, there will be a short network outage while equipment failover 
is tested and a configuration upgrade is performed. There will also be a 
voicemail outage, and all Management and Information Systems 
applications will experience a short outage while system patches are 
installed.
A Symantec Anti-Virus software upgrade will be pushed out to all managed 
systems; this update should be transparent, but a complete virus scan 
will be performed when installation is complete. Also, Firefox, 
Thunderbird and Adobe Flash player updates will be released to all 
Windows systems, and Windows and Linux patches will be released to all 
desktop systems.
Plan on rebooting your desktop system later in the week or, at least, 
prior to your departure for the holiday break. As always, if you have 
any questions or concerns about these or other computing-related topics, 
contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.

*Test of Public Address System Will Intermittently Impact Live Calls*

Also during this maintenance period, the lab will test the public 
address capability of its Cisco IP phones. The test will commence at 
5:30 p.m. and will be broken into two parts: a lab-wide test of the 
public address system, followed by tests in each of the following areas: 
ARC, SSC (Bldg. 28), CEBAF Center (Bldg. 12), EEL (Bldg. 90), Test Lab 
(Bldg. 58), TED (Bldg. 55), FEL (Bldg. 18) and the Accelerator Site.
When the public address system is activated, all "in progress" phone 
calls will automatically be put on hold. Each set of tests should last 
1-2 minutes and could include up to two separate voice announcements 
from the speaker on Cisco IP phones. As soon as an announcement is 
completed, you may access and resume any interrupted calls.

Thank you very much for your patience while we take care of this work.
