Scheduled
Pitt Information Technology has scheduled two network upgrades to be performed by Pitt IT and our vendor partner that will briefly affect PittNet network access late on March 12 and 13. MyResNet service is not affected.
On Tuesday, March 12, a brief interruption of several minutes between 11 p.m. and midnight:
• Affects both PittNet wired and Wi-Fi networks, including PittNet Guest Wi-Fi and Eduroam. • Impacts network connectivity in Amos, Brackenridge, Bruce, David Lawrence, and Hollan Halls, as well as Litchfield Towers and the William Pitt Union.
Wednesday, March 13, an interruption of up to 30 minutes between 10 p.m. and midnight:
• Affects PittNet Wi-Fi networks, including PittNet Guest Wi-Fi and Eduroam. • Impacts PittNet Wi-Fi connectivity across the Pittsburgh campus.
These maintenance periods were scheduled by Pitt IT in consultation with our partners in Panther Central to occur during the Spring Recess period to minimize any potential disruption to the Pitt community. The maintenance is part of vendor-recommended best practices to improve the security, performance, and reliability of the network. Individuals do not need to take any action after the maintenance periods are completed.
Pitt IT has completed checks to ensure that systems are ready for the update and will be actively engaged with the vendor throughout the maintenance period. In the unlikely event that an issue or problem arises, the vendor will revert to its original network configuration and Pitt IT will post an update to status.pitt.edu.
Please contact the Technology Help Desk at +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you have questions regarding these maintenance periods. These efforts are being led by Lou Passarello, Pitt IT’s director of operations.
