ERC’s Africa Hall is back online. We apologize for any inconvenience this outage caused and will be monitoring the situation for the next few hours to ensure the network stays up.
2013/03/18 16:21 – We have received reports that ERC’s Africa Hall has been experiencing intermittent connection issues all day and is currently down. We are currently troubleshooting with the appropriate departments and hope to have the connection back online as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
The issues affecting the wired and wireless network in ERC Africa are due to unstable networking equipment. While the network was unavailable in the building last night, the connection restored on its own and was briefly down again around 9:30am today. To fully resolve this issue, we will be replacing some of the networking equipment. However, since we arrived on-site with the network connection working, and because it is finals week, we decided to hold off on replacing the equipment until after finals week to avoid further interruption of your network connectivity. Minor networking equipment adjustments were made to temporarily resolve the issue.
At approximately 9pm last night, we received reports of wireless and wired internet connections not functioning in ERC Africa Hall. We have escalated the issue to the department responsible for the hardware equipment and are working to resolve the issue. Knowing that it is finals week, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this is causing. We’ll keep you updated on any progress.
