Good afternoon everyone!

Please refer to network maintenance notification below from our Internet Service Provider. This maintenance has been scheduled for Thursday night March 11th at 11:59pm with a maintenance window of 2 hours.

The scope of work involves adding Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) equipment to the fiber pair which connects the Harlingen Regional Academic Health Center (HRAHC) to the VTXC Harlingen POP (Point of Presence). This task will complete the work started last month on Wednesday February 10th.

During this maintenance window there should not be any disruption of Internet connectivity. Intra-campus network communication should not be affected either. This work will benefit all UT institutions in the Rio Grande Valley.

Should you experience any problems after this maintenance window, please contact the Helpdesk at extension x2020. In addition, please feel free to forward this information to staff and faculty in your departments who may find this information pertinent. Thank you.
