- The Shiva LANRover was down again over the weekend. Justin came in early Sunday morning and brought it back up. Bob and Justin will continue to work with Shiva on this (NOTE: Talked with Shiva again and they are considering a loaner so we can test one of our units. Shiva said we are the only site reporting an on-going problem with this. They suggest it may be poor-quality incoming phone lines or a phone problem on our end. We did notice that our modems were not self-configuring correctly.)
- Justin will be out Weds 2/8, Thur 2/9 and Fri 2/10. He instructed Dave and Bob on how to bring the Shiva LANRovers back up in case they go into "Downloader" mode while he is gone.
- Brenda reported that PACES returned a digital phone and released a
telephone line after their move to Merritt. We agreed that the value of
the phone they returned was close enough to the value of parts and labor
in setting them up in Merritt to consider this an even exchange.
Brenda pointed out that we may find other departments returning expensive
phones to cut costs if budgets are severely reduced.
- Access to the Internet will be unavailable on Sunday 2/12 and 2/19 from 8am until Noon. SUNYNet must shut down their operations to test their new sprinkler system. (They are going to spray their rooms, are they?!)
- Set up ethernet connections in Bowman Student Computing Center w/ Joan (Carm/Garnet)
- Carm will check into the cost of creating a TV banner across the bottom of a TV channel so that we can broadcast special alerts and notices.
- We were to present the most important service we needed to alert the campus of in the event of a failure. Bob presented his report on SUNYNet service failure. (See separate message, "SUNYNet service-failure action plan".
- Bob will revise his plan to incorporate the suggestions and corrections made during the meeting. We will move onto other services next week (Carm and Garnet's report).
- Bob asked everyone to submit their plans via email so we could begin to review them prior to our next (2/14) team meeting.
6. Next meeting (Tues, 2/14 @ 8am) --> Staff meeting @ 9am, so we *must* start on time. Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly @ 8am.
