OARNet Maintenance

OARNet will be conducting maintenance on the network during the overnight of September 15th. Work will begin just before midnight and last until approximately 03:00 on September 16th. OARNet will be doing upgrades to network switches. This WILL result in multiple service interruptions of approximately 5 minutes in length. When the outages occur, the system will go into SITE TRUNKING and consoles will lose connectivity. Agencies can continue using the system when it is in site trunking mode. Dispatchers will need to use walkies or back up control stations during site trunking.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jay Somerville.

Critical System Outage

On Friday 07/22 at approximately 10am, both the Delaware and the Dub/Wor sides of the COIRS radio system will be placed into SITE TRUNKING to allow B&C to reboot the embassy switch that serves all of the dispatch consoles. This will cause the dispatch consoles to lose connectivity and require dispatchers use walkies or control stations to communicate during the outage. Walkies and mobiles will receive a site trunking message on their radios but will be able to communicate normally during this time. Emergency banners will have limited abilities.

Agencies are strongly encouraged to stay on their home talk-groups during this outage unless other problems arise.
The outage is expected to last approximately 30 minutes and is being done to address an ongoing audio problem with one of the channel cards.

If you have any questions, or have an urgent issue that should delay this outage, please contact Patrick Brandt ASAP.

Huntley Site Restored

The Huntley site is now back on line after AT&T made temporary repairs to the T1 line that was taken down earlier today. AT&T reports they will need to return on Tuesday May 31st to completely replace the line. They will notify us before the work begins as it will take the site down for approximately 45 minutes.

Huntley Rd Site Down

At 11:22am today a truck struck the telephone company facilities (overhead lines) in front of the Huntley Rd tower site taking down the T1 connection between the site and Worthington PD. XO Communications, our T1 provider at this site, has been notified and is dispatching crews for the repair (ticket #2315471).

Although the site is off line, coverage in Worthington is back up by the Hard Road and Lazelle Road tower sites. Other than reduced fringe area and minor in building coverage issues, the users will see no interruptions in service.

A message will be posted when the site is returned to full service.

 

OARNet Maintenance

OARNet will be conducting maintenance on the network during the overnight of April 25th and the overnight of April 26th to "cut in" some new fiber optic connections. This may result periodic service interruptions of no more than 1 minute in length per outage. If there is an outage, the system will go into SITE TRUNKING and consoles will lose connectivity. Agencies can continue using the system when it is in site trunking mode. Dispatchers will need to use walkies or back up control stations during site trunking.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jay Somerville.
