All browsers that connect to Banner INB will require an update to the Java component associated with the browser that you use.  For most Banner INB users, this update will be automatic and will not require any user intervention – however, beginning Friday morning, (4/25) some Banner INB users may be prompted to update this Java browser component when logging into Banner INB.

As with any system upgrades or maintenance, if you should experience any issues with Banner after this update, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

We have received reports of network outages on the East quad.  Staff are investigating.

Some community members experienced problems accessing Blackboard around 1 p.m. today.  The University of Cincinnati informed us of the cause and resolution of the problem:  At approximately 1:04PM today Blackboard application servers stopped serving end user requests. This was caused by the NFS data mover going down. The problem was resolved by 1:20PM.

Update: The network switch has been replaced. The issue effected a section of 2nd floor wired Ethernet ports and did not effect the wireless in Crawford Hall.

Original Message: We have a switch in Crawford on the 2nd floor west end that is repeatedly crashing.  Support is aware of the problem and will be addressing it.

ITS will be making changes to the campus firewalls between 5AM and 6:30AM on April 17, 2014. During this time there will be brief interruptions to Internet traffic from on-campus and off-campus access to on-campus resources, such as MyDenison.

Update: firewall maintenance was completed successfully.

We will be performing brief maintenance on the wireless network for administrative and academic buildings at 6AM on 4/11, applying a patch to address the Heartbleed bug. We expect wireless connectivity loss to be minimal.
