17th – 21st November
This week is dedicated to non user-facing services. However, devices on the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) network, which is present in all university buildings, will experience 10-minute breaks in service per building.
Who will be affected
All users connecting to the university’s wireless networks (CU-PSK, CU-Wireless, Eduroam and Govroam), including students in university managed halls of residence where the wired ethernet service network will also be affected. Staff responsible for the management and monitoring of BEMS across the university.
How will this affect service users?
During the change window, wireless access points will reboot. There will be a break in the wireless network service at each location of up to 10 minutes during this window. Students in university managed halls of residence may experience wired and wireless disruptions when the access points within their buildings are rebooted. BEMS devices will experience the same loss of service.
Why is it being done?
This hardware replacement is essential to ensure we maintain a fully supported and upgradable environment. It will also eliminate a known fault that cannot be resolved with the current hardware.
