THE FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
OPERATIONS CENTER CONCERNING UPCOMING ROUTER MAINTENANCE.  PLEASE NOTE
THAT THIS EVENT WILL NOT IMPACT AWIPS SBN RADAR DATA, BUT WILL AFFECT
RADAR MULTICAST CUSTOMERS.
~
On Monday, June14, 2004 at 7:15am EST (11:15 UTC) we will replace a
card on the Telecommunication Operations Center (TOC) secure router
(NWS Washington, DC). We scheduled an outage of 30 minutes, but we
hope the actual downtime will be less.
The affected router is located inside the TOC firewall.  All data
flowing through our secure router will be affected.  This includes
direct connections to our secure router, such as,

    NCEP
    Nesdis
    DATMS-U
    GTS links
    Radar multicast
    SAS customers
Although connections to our regional and non-secure router are not
affected, no data will be available to our public FTP and web servers
during this period.
If the scheduled date is designated a Critical Weather Day, the outage
will be postponed.
The purpose of the outage is to test a replacement for a defective card.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this outage may cause.  Please
contact me if the timing of this outage presents a critical problem for
your operations.
Please forward this message to anyone who will be affected by this
action but was left off the mailing list.  I would appreciate if you
would send me the email address of anyone that should be informed of
scheduled downtime in the future, but was not included in the current
list.  Also, inform me if you wish to have your name removed from this
list.
