Computing services outage 9/24-25 (posted 9/13/05)From 4 p.m. on Sat., Sept. 24, through 12 noon on Sun., Sept. 25, many central computing services will be unavailable while CIT installs an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the Rhodes Hall machine and node room. The UPS will provide a needed increase in capacity. See below for a list of services affected. During the outage, concerns or questions can be directed to 255-9900. CIT recommends that people plan on not using centrally provided computing services during the outage since most will be unavailable. However, local area networks (LANs) in most departments and locations (except Rhodes Hall) will be functional, and you will be able to reach non-Cornell Internet services. Dial-up service (EZ-Remote and Express Lane) to the Internet also will be available. Other central services that will remain operational during this time are EZ-Backup, RedRover (wireless), CUTV, Kronos time clocks, Kerberos, CUWebLogin and CUWebAuth, the Permit service, DHCP, and DNS (domain name system). All other services provided to the campus from the Rhodes Hall machine and node room will be unavailable; see below for details. Questions can be addressed to serverfarm@cornell.edu.
CIT e-mail service now includes "out of the office" responder (5/19/05)CIT's e-mail service now includes Time Away Responder (TAR). When you know you'll be unable to check e-mail for a while, you can now opt to tell people who e-mail you that you're away and that you'll respond to them once you return. Time Away Responder works with any messages sent to an address such as "something@cornell.edu" (not something@department.cornell.edu). Each person who sends you a message will receive a message containing the text you've chosen. They will only receive this "I'm away" message from you once per week. You activate Time Away Responder through Who I Am (in the Electronic Mail section). Time Away Responder remains in effect until 12:01 a.m. on the date you specified, or until you go back to Who I Am and turn it off manually. While you have Time Away Responder in effect, all your mail will continue to be delivered and be available to you at any time, and you can respond to your mail as usual. RedRover now offers wireless for guests (3/30/05)People who are visiting Cornell can now use wireless through RedRover's new guest network. This network is intended for visitors who do not have a Cornell NetID and password. No authentication is required, though users do have to agree to the terms and conditions. The RedRover guest network provides limited access to the Internet and other Cornell network services, except for services that require Kerberos or CUWebLogin. It is available everywhere that the standard RedRover service is. Unblock your Cornell phone number for local calls (3/30/05)Nowadays, many people and businesses rely on caller ID of some type to help identify which phone calls they wish to receive. Some even use a service called "anonymous call rejection" to refuse any phone calls for which identifying information is not available. That can be a problem, or at least frustrating, if you're trying to call from a Cornell phone. By default, local and long-distance calls placed from Cornell phones are blocked, which means they appear as anonymous, unknown, or private to caller ID systems. You've probably noticed this if you have caller ID at home or use a cell phone. The good news is that you can unblock your Cornell phone number for local calls. You can do this on a call-by-call basis by dialing 118, then 9 and the local number as usual. (Note that, for on-campus calls, your number is automatically unblocked.) If you prefer, you can have your phone number unblocked automatically for all local calls. There is a one-time $10 fee. If you're faculty or staff, request this change through your department's telecommunications coordinator. If you're a student, request it through ResPhone (254-2991 or resphone@cornell.edu). Currently, there is no way to unblock your Cornell phone number for long-distance calls. Cornell Log for Mac OS X is here (1/24/05)CIT is pleased to announce Cornell Log for Mac OS X. Like its cousin, Cornell Log for Windows, this tool lets you track your network usage in real time. Cornell Log for Mac OS X, or Cornell Log for Windows, are small applications installed and run locally on your computer. Both can show you:
