• Network Switch Switchout
  • Chris needs the 48-port gig power-over-ethernet switch back, and has a 24-port gig non-POE switch onhand already. This will leave MMS with 1×24-port POE 10/100 switch (for phones), and 1×24-port non-POE Gig switch (for main systems). Chris also recommends upgrading the power strip while doing this changeover. This would mean a full shutdown of both MMS's network, and also the access control system. Chris needs to know when the best time to accomplish this would be, and if anyone from the BOD would care to help with the migration/rearrangement.
