<b>Jefferson Lab's CNI Maintenance Period Tonight, 5-7 p.m.</b><br>
<br>
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. <br>
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. <br>
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.<br>

<b>Test of Public Address System Will Intermittently Impact Live
Calls</b><br>
<br>
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. <br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your patience while we take care of this
work.<br>
