Scheduled
What is impacted: All VIU Wireless Networks (VIU-Secure, VIU-Guest & Eduroam); Technicians will be deploying software updates to all our Wireless Access Points (WAP) across all VIU sites and campuses. This update will cause the device to reboot. Deploying in a rolling fashion, the aim is that some WAPs will stay online while other units are updating. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specific times within the maintenance window when a given space may be impacted.
Level of impact: Possible Service Interruption. As each WAP updates and reboots there is a chance that your device may lose connection from one of our wireless networks. (VIU-Secure, VIU-Guest or Eduroam) If this occurs, wait 2-3 minutest and then try reconnecting. In most cases another nearby WAP will keep your device connected.
Timing: 7pm to 10pm, Thursday, October 3.
Preparation: If you have a need for uninterrupted network connectivity during the maintenance window, please use a wired connection.
