CTS has completed the process to switch the phone servers. The phones that were previously impacted continue to have issues. CTS will need to reset all phones in a rolling wave after normal business hours today to resolve the remaining issues. A post to this blog will be made when that process is complete.
CTS is beginning the process to switch the phone servers now. An update will be made to this blog when the transition is complete.
Computing & Technology Services has been working to resolve ongoing issues with sporadic telephone outages since Monday, June 12. At this point we will need to switch to the standby phone server at Noon time today, June 14, 2023. The telephone system may be out for a short period of time as a result.
Before reporting an issue, please check the status of the transition on the System Status page at https://status.potsdam.edu/. If you notice that your telephone does not have dial tone once the maintenance is complete, it may require a manual reset. At that point, please list extension numbers in your area that are impacted and contact the IT Service Desk via email itservicedesk@potsdam.edu or (315) 267-4444 and we will reset your line as quickly as possible.
We will continue to update our System Status page at https://status.potsdam.edu/.
All areas of CTS will be closed Monday, June 19, 2023 in observance of the Juneteenth anniversary.
If you require technical assistance, during this time please contact the IT Service Desk at 315-267-4444 or by e-mail at itservicedesk@potsdam.edu so we can assist you on the next business day.
