Wireless
Our Department moved into great new location [Well, not everyone moved]. We were supposed to get a bunch of new toys. Partially we did. The rest is coming - with the speed of the dying snail.
One of the most desired items for me was a wireless network and hardware was ordered well in advance but it still arrived late. During this period we were told: 2 weeks more and it should arrive and installation will take 1-2 weeks (because many departments ordered wireless). Finally hardware arrive - something around October 16.
The Great Day came - Late in October access points were installed. Hooray!
Not so fast: it appeared that Network People should install switches in the Data Closet. Surely they could do it while waiting for Access Points but ... they did not .... and we waited until the switches were installed... and finally they came and installed the switches... Hallelujah!!!
Oops! The Wireless People did not connect access points to the network during the installation. So, we are waiting the next visit of them... and hope that Network People did their job in full...
