Internet Slowness (Again)

This morning from 7:30 am to 9:15 am we appear to have had some significant slowness resulting from activity in the labs.  This has been cleared up and we are operating at normal speeds once again.

 

Internet Slowness on MCN

ITS is investigating slowness since 8:30 am

Scheduled Internet Outage - 2:00 am 2/7/12

We have been notified by our Internet service provider that there will be a short interruption in service between 2:00 am and 6:00 am tonight.  Please be advised all internet services on all campuses will be down EXCEPT access from the McNichols residence halls.

 

Generally, 2:00 am to 6:00 am is a very light time on the University network.

 

External access to TC, Blackboard and all University webservers will be affected.  Users on-campus during these hours will be able to access internal (udmercy.edu) servers but nothing externally.

 

Mail sent during this time will be queued on the sender’s side however this varies from site-to-site.  Should you discover you are missing an incoming message expected during that time period, you will want to ask the sender to resend it again.

TitanConnect Upgrades

The TitanConnect Upgrades for Student, Web for Student, Web for Faculty and Advisors, General, Web for General and Web Tailor have now been completed. These upgrades will provide enhanced capabilities in the TitanConnect system for the University community.

TitanConnect Upgrades

The TitanConnect INB and TitanConnect Self Service STUDENT and FACULTY systems were upgraded yesterday and that is now complete. Today we are upgrading the TitanConnect General system, which could again cause some errors. If you encounter any, please wait a few minutes and try the function again.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

TitanConnect Upgrades

The TitanConnect INB and TitanConnect Self Service STUDENT and FACULTY systems are being upgraded today. There may be periods when a function or screen gives an error message while you are using it. That is because that function is being upgraded while you are using it. Please wait a few minutes and try yuour function/screen again. Once the update is complete, the error will resolve itself.

Since the TitanConnect system is available 24/7/365, there is never a good time to do upgrades, but we hope the timing is not too inconvenient for mostusers of the system.

This upgrade will NOT affect the TitanConnect Portal, E-mail or Blackboard.

Thank you for your patience.

Wireless Network Setback

Recent electrical problems have apparently burned out 3 network wireless access points in the Engineering and Ford Life Science buildings. Wireless (WiFi)coverage may be sparse in the Northeast corner of Engineering, and in Ford Life Science 3rd floor East, and in the lab in room 010. ITS is working to replace the burned out equipment as we can.
