<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The network (wired, Wi-Fi, VoIP, BMS) may be temporarily unavailable for up to 15 minutes during the maintenance window while the switches are retrofitted to a new configuration standard.
This maintenance will not affect how you connect to the network today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
