4 Phase III - Bridgeland HS Network Installation Update Every fiber optic cable installation is different because there are different variables for every situation. MCA Communications is accustomed to getting this work completed either by digging trenches to bury the cables for underground installation, or string them along telephone poles for aerial installations. Once the fiber optic cable installation is complete outdoors, MCA will then complete the process inside Bridgeland HS. Enterprise Communication Network Posted by Elizabeth Montes Network Analyst

14 ISC Aruba AP s Cutover CFISD planned to cutover to the new Aruba AP s on July 31 at 5 PM. Prior to that, in order to resolved the communication issues between FortAuthenticator and the new AD servers, Andrew Tran and Joel McCotter ( with Layer 3 ) made changes to the Brocade switches and DC3 and DC4 firewalls. On Monday, July 31, 2017, Andrew Tran found out the those changes broke the communication between the primary and secondary Bluecat address manager ( BAM s ). Joel McCotter was able to resolve that issue but the replication error between the 2 BAM s were still exist. Around 1 PM Andrew Tran made changes to the ISC scope adding options 43 and 60on the primary BAM. Ray Leung saw that the Aruba AP s started to comes online and registering to the Aruba controllers. This was a good sign and the cutover were continue as schedule. On the evening of August 1, 2017, Andrew Tran worked with Bluecat engineer to re-sync both BAM s and that resolved the replication error. Enterprise Communications Network Posted By: Andrew Tran

16 Older Cisco Wireless Access Points Removed ISC/N, ISC/S, and ISC/W On Thursday, August 3, 2017, Layer 3 Communications began removing the older Cisco wireless access points. Due to the fact that Technology Services did not have a map to reflect where these access points were located, the team had to utilize a network tool to help them find the older access points. When the network tool was not successful locating these older access points, the team relied on MCA Communications and their knowledge of our infrastructure.
