[Astro] [CAPT] IMPORTANT: Full day network outage, Cripps North Building (CAPT), Monday 3rd February

[Nicholas Botterill]

Dear CAPT colleagues,

I hope this finds you well.  As part of the University Next Generation Network (NGN) update across all of our campuses, the wired network switches and WiFi systems within buildings are being upgraded throughout the first half of 2025 to offer far faster connections and enhanced reliability/security amongst other benefits.

In order for CAPT to benefit from this, unfortunately a full day shutdown of all network connections has to take place on Monday 3rd February.  I have liaised with Alfonso in selecting this date, as he indicated that working from home is more common/possible that day.

Please note that the following systems will be completely unavailable throughout the day:

  *
Wired Ethernet connectivity
  *
WiFi connections
  *
Network printers
  *
All telephony
  *
The lift, as the emergency telephone may also be affected

Further information on the NGN project can be found at the dedicated SharePoint site https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/UoNNextGenerationNetwork.

My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any specific concerns.

@Philip<mailto:cczpcp at exmail.nottingham.ac.uk> - can we touch base on this tomorrow or Monday morning if you're around?

Kind regards,

Nick

Reminder: Upcoming Network Migration – Cripps North Building



This is a reminder that the Next Generation Network project will soon begin network switch migrations with a planned network outage for the Cripps North Building scheduled for:



Monday 3 February from 8.30am to 7pm.



During this time, there will be no access to wired or wireless network connections in the building. CGI will work to restore connectivity promptly once maintenance is complete.



Please cascade this information to building users to ensure everyone is prepared for the temporary downtime.



Only university-managed devices will be tested at this time, so school-owned devices will need to be checked by your team once connectivity is restored.



Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we carry out this essential upgrade.



The Next Generation Network Team
