Get Jefferson Lab Site-Wide Alert Pager Messages on Your Personal Cell Phone 
Want to get Site-Wide Alert (SWA) pager messages on your cell phone? You can register your personal cell phone number in JList to receive SWAs, weather advisories, laboratory closing notices and other alerts. In order to register your cell phone number in JList, send an email to telecom at jlab.org with email subject line "Add personal cell to SWA JList List." In the body of the email, provide your name, cell phone number including area code and the service carrier (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, etc). Additionally, add a note that you would like your cell phone information included in the staff search if you would like others at the lab to be able to text you on your personal cell phone from Jefferson Lab’s web staff-search application. Questions may be directed to telecom at jlab.org. 

CNI Systems Maintenance Scheduled for Aug, 18, 5-10 p.m. 
There will be a maintenance period on August 18, 5-10 p.m., while the CNI group performs maintenance on desktops and servers. The CNI group will release a critical update to the Symantec Antivirus software package, which runs on Windows desktops, as well as several critical Windows patches. Plan to log out of your Windows desktop system prior to leaving on Tuesday, or plan to reboot your system as soon as you can on Wednesday morning to fully install these critical updates. Linux patches will also be released to all Linux desktops and servers during this maintenance window. Plan on rebooting your Linux desktop on Wednesday as well to finalize these critical patches. There may also be web server and system outages while servers are rebooted to finalize patch installations. And there will be a short Internet outage while firewall updates are made. The back-end MIS Database servers will be patched and rebooted, causing outages of all MIS applications. The MIS applications will be unavailable starting at 8 p.m. and will be back up no later than 10 p.m. In addition, there will be core Common User Environment software updates to Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave, Firefox and Java. Note that the latest version of Java (Java 1.8.51) will be installed on all Windows desktops and servers, while the old and unsupported Java 1.7.x JRE will be removed.
