UPDATE: Telephone switch and AUDIX replacement

Greetings UVI, This is a reminder that on Saturday a new telephone switch and audix system for the St. Thomas Campus will be installed. This is an important advance to update telephony services. How this will affect you: 1. All telephone users on St. Thomas and St. Croix will not have audix services from 6am to 6pm on Saturday December 1. This means your phone will ring but not be transferred to voicemail if not answered. 2. Telephone users on St. Thomas will not have telephone service to their desks during the cutover of the switch. We expect this to be between 10am and noon. ITS will be working in Penha House and will be in contact with security during that time. 3. Telephone users on St, Croix do not need to do anything. Your voicemails before and after the cutover will continue to go to the same audix mail boxes. You will continue to dial x1599 to access your voice mail, the buttons on your phones will access the same voicemail box, your audix password will not change. Your upgrade will come in March when the RTPark building is brought online. 4. For users on St. Thomas, you will not receive voicemails until you set up your new voicemail box. Anytime after 6pm on Saturday you can access your new box at x1699. The buttons on your campus phones will automatically be changes to dial x1699. Any voicemails that you receive up to 6am on Saturday will be left in your current voicemail box at x1599 with your existing password UNTIL TUESDAY for you to act upon.

Installation of new TELEPHONE SWITCH

Greetings UVI, ITS has begun work on the replacement of the telephone switch on the St. Thomas Campus. This will include the replacement of the current AUDIX system. The installation is scheduled to be complete this weekend, with the cut over to the new systems before noon on Sunday. There will be a few hours when calls can not be sent to audix. We will clarify this time as the install proceeds. This upgrade will effect your voicemail. You need to make a plan for the cutover. Plan to check your voicemail and process any messages on the system. The old system will be active until 10pm on Friday. We suggest that as you check your voicemail for the last time of the week, you advise callers not to leave you a message until Monday. The NEW AUDIX will be active by noon on Sunday, none of your old messages or greetings will be transferred to the new system. You will need to set up your new AUDIX mailbox after noon on Sunday. Please let me know if you have any questions as you prepare for this switch. Tina

UPDATE: Banner and BanWeb

Greetings UVI, It appears that the air conditioning in the ACC data center on St. Thomas failed late last night, early this morning the temperature in the data center hit 120 degrees. ITS Technicians are on campus and have reset the ac units. We have called physical plant to assist. The Banner server, which shut itself down because of the heat, is being serviced and we will bring the system up when the rebuild is complete. Please be patient and you will be able to access the system later today. Everyone continue to enjoy your holiday and give special thanks to the staff working on this holiday. Tina

BanWeb Currently Unavailable

Greetings UVI, Banweb and Banner applications are currently unavaialble. We will notify you when this service has been restored. All other systems are operating as expected. Happy Thanksgiving.
