Upcoming Scheduled Outages:
Access Layer Switches - Scheduled Network Outage Notification - September 17th at QEH (11PM - 5AM)
Affected TRs : 11, 13,14,15
Affected areas:
Main Level - Ambulatory Care Centre
Lower Level - Same Day Treatment
Lower Level - Near Shipping/Receiving

During the scheduled downtime on September 17th, card swipe access will remain unaffected, as the hardware operates independently of the network.
As long as the devices continue to receive power, authorized users will still be able to access the designated areas.
However, the CCTV system relies on network connectivity to stream footage to client PCs.
As a result, live video will be unavailable during the outage and will resume once the network is restored.
Concerns or questions, please email, Hanushya P. Tiwari, eHealth Program Officer, Phone: 902-218-6958, Email: htiwari@ihis.org
All data center services will NOT be impacted!
