- Network problems on campus affected MeetingPlace web interface... (2009-Mar-31)
- CITES experienced some fairly widespread networking problems in several Nodes, and on parts of the campus backbone earlier today. This affected the location where the ACES MeetingPlace hardware is installed. Voice and video calls were unaffected, but the web interface was unavailable/unreachable for approximately 90 minutes. (from 10am - 11:30am) The problem has been resolved, and access was restored at that time.
- Campus-wide power outage... (2009-Mar-08)
- A campus-wide power outage occurred at 3:23pm on March 8th, due to upstream power grid problems. (Reportedly caused by high winds...) The ACES MeetingPlace system remained on-line and running on emergency power provided by generators, and CITES was able to keep the campus network backbone and the campus exit routers operational, so we were able to maintain system availability during this outage. (Some off-campus sites were unable to reach the system, however, after the campus' DNS servers became unavailable.)
- Cisco MeetingPlace 6.0 MR4 installation postponed... (2009-Feb-04)
- When the CITES MeetingPlace system was updated to MR4, a problem was discovered that seriously affects the ability of the system when hosting a combined video + audio + web meeting. Cisco has acknowledged the problem and is investigating. We are postponing installation of this update on the ACES system until a resolution to this problem is available.
- Cisco MeetingPlace 6.0 MR4 released... (2008-Dec-12)
- A new release of fixes and updates/upgrades to the Cisco MeetingPlace system software has been released. We have been anxiously awaiting this new release, as it includes several fixes for problems that have been encountered during the implementation of this new system. We will be scheduling a maintenance window sometime in the near future to install these new versions -- watch this space for updated information...
- CAVEAT: Problems with "dollar" symbol in MeetingPlace password... (2008-Nov 20)
- Please avoid using the "dollar" symbol ("$") anywhere in your MeetingPlace profile password. We have identified a problem where the use of this character will cause the MeetingPlace system to change the password to an unknown value after only a minute or so has passed since the password was established.
- New MeetingPlace System now available! (2008-Oct-13)
- The new Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system (version 6.0 MR3) is now fully operational, and has replaced the older Latitude MeetingPlace system (version 4.3). All active profiles from the old system have been re-created on the new system. (These individuals should have received an automatically generated email message with instructions on how to activate their new profile.)
- A profile request form and a password management tool/utility have both been provided via this website. Requests for new profiles are generally handled within 1-2 business days.
