Network outage 2/28/2011 from 09:12 – 09:17.
This affected all network segments including the voice over IP network segments.  We are investigating the root cause of the LAN router crash. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

There is a power outage in the Boca Campus Library. Network is down in the east side of the building due to this power issue. Physical Plant has been notified. We will make sure the network comes back online once power is restored.
