CTS will be performing a critical update to our Network Management Software. No end user systems or network access will be affected.
CTS will be performing updates to the campus wired data network this week. All changes will be made between 5:00 – 7:00 AM and 9:00 – 11:00 PM. No connectivity issues are anticipated. A general reminder: The campus wired network is for devices and equipment purchased and owned by SUNY Potsdam. Personally-owned devices should be using the WiFi network. As always, if your campus-owned device does not work on the wired network or your personal device will not connect to the WiFi, contact the CTS Helpdesk: helpdesk@potsdam.edu or 315-267-4444.

The CTS Helpdesk’s “new” (for almost three years now) phone number is 315-267-4444. As of this week, the old number (x-2083) will no longer reach the Helpdesk. Callers will hear a message informing them of the new number and instructing them to update their contact lists.
Firefox 52 was released recently and it includes two major changes: support for WebAssembly and the removal of support for NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) plugins like Silverlight, Java, and others, with the exception of Flash. Because our version of Banner relies on Java for proper operation, users will see just a white screen or an error will be displayed when they attempt to use Banner. CTS has a work-around for this issue with Firefox. Users are asked to contact the CTS Helpdesk if they experience issues with Banner. Submit a ticket using RT (select Desktop/Notebook Computers for this issue from the drop-down menu), email helpdesk@potsdam.edu or call x4444.
