During the Tuesday, 17 September maintenance window, maintenance work will affect certain services, starting at 5:30 PM and being completed before midnight. The following work is planned:
Terminal Four: software on the server hosting Terminal Four will be updated. We expect an outage of an hour during which time it will not be possible to change content managed by Terminal Four (already published web pages will still be accessible).
Access switches: software will be updated on the network switches in the buildings listed below. All network services (including Wi-Fi and IP telephones) will be disrupted in those buildings. We expect the work will be completed in 30 minutes per building.
