Software Bug in ResNet Wireless System

In response to residential student feedback, we recently partnered with the Office of Residential Life and updated all residential buildings with wireless hardware upgrades that provide the fastest speeds available.  However, with innovation and new hardware can come unexpected challenges.  RT tickets from residential students helped us identify a system-wide issue that may impact your user experience.


DoIT has identified a software bug in the residential wireless system. The bug can cause devices to connect to access points further away a student’s room they necessary, resulting in slower, less consistent speeds and occasional disconnects from the wireless network. This problem is present on Eduroam and on Visitor and Campus wireless and it's an issue on the devices themselves, not just a single wireless network.  


Please note that we do not believe this problem is present in the academic areas of the campus, only in the Residence Halls.


We have been working with the vendor, Cisco, to get a version of software that fixes the bug and they are currently vetting a patch through their testing lab. In the meantime, we have worked with Cisco to develop an interim solution to minimize the impact on you. This interim solution involves monitoring the system for certain error logs caused by this bug, and resetting the access points as needed. We apologize for the inconvenience and, as soon as the new software is available, we will be applying it throughout the Residence Halls immediately.


Thank you for your patience as we work through this challenge with our campus partners. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me for more information.


Sincerely,


Damian Doyle

Senior Director of Enterprise Infrastructure and Support

For Staff and Faculty that pay for parking through payroll deduction:

The UMBC parking deduction was not taken from some employee paychecks dated 9/22/17. There was an issue with the transfer of data from the parking software to the Central Payroll Bureau. We are currently working on identifying and correcting the error.  The check for 10/6/17 is a health premium holiday and we are currently working on a solution that will allow us to collect the correct parking deduction in this pay check along with the deduction that was missed on the 9/22/17 pay check.  Your parking access will not be impacted by this.  

Please contact Chuck Boddy at 5-2776 with any questions relating to this issue.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere…” (Acts 1:8)

“[The early church] was made up of simple men and women. The leaders were former fishermen and tax collectors who fled in fear… they lacked faith and courage. They were the least likely to be put in charge of any Christian enterprise. Yet after the events in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit is poured out, those same nobodies were suddenly transformed. With courage and faith, they turned their community, and eventually the world, upside down. That wasn’t due to their seminary training; they didn’t have any training. They couldn’t hand out copies of the New Testament, because it hadn’t been written yet. It wasn’t because they were wealthy and had the greatest sound system and light show at their church. They were poor people without a church building. In fact, the Christian church didn’t get its first public building for about three hundred years. To the existing Jewish religious establishment, those early Christians were mocked as unlearned and ignorant people with few resources. To the Roman Empire they seemed fanatical and strange. But one thing they did possess was the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them to rely on the Spirit for everything, including impromptu speech. To paraphrase, he said, ‘Don’t even prepare what you’ll say when you’re in high-pressure situations, because when you open your mouth, it will be given to you. The Father will give it to you through the Holy Spirit. You’ll just know what to say’ (Mark 13:11). The early believers knew all too well that Christianity was hopeless without the Holy Spirit.”  (J. Cymbala, Spirit Rising, Kindle Locations 334-339)

This evening DoIT worked with DocuSign technical staff to upgrade our system to new accounts to allow full use of the latest version called ‘New Experience’. This was a fairly labor intensive activity which had some unintended emails sent upon account migration.


The intent was that the migration would be fairly seamless to our community however the silent creation feature for our users in the new account did not occur as anticipated and previous users of the old DocuSign account received an email requesting an Account Activation upon completion of the migration.


I apologize for this confusion and will be glad to handle any questions you may have.


Below is an example of the email you will receive.


Please select the yellow Activate button. The old account will be closed and no longer available to you. All documents have been transferred to the new account and DoIT will retain the old account for reference.

So I got my diploma today.

It came in a tube. 

The tube wasn't sealed. The symbol of what I've spent 4 years and so much time and money and energy on, and it was shipped 3,000 miles in a tube with no lid. 

UMBC. Seriously.

Over the Summer, affiliate artist Nana Vaughn directed the second annual string institute through UMBC's Summer Enrichment Experience. The program offered student the opportunity to play chamber music and various music classes for a week and July with a culminating performance at the end of the week.  Ms. Vaughn also performed with Steven Honigberg, a cellist in the National Symphony Orchestra, in a quartet recital as part of the Washington Musica Viva chamber music series in Washington D.C.  She was also a finalist for a one year position with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. 

Jonathan Zwi:
This July saw the inauguration of the Summer Guitar Academy, in collaboration with the Music Department and the Office of Summer Enrichment Experiences directed by Jonathan Zwi, with help from his assistant Morgan Dice, students of all levels and abilities attended a one-week intensive course where they engaged in a variety of topics and styles.  Through daily private lessons, ensemble rehearsals and group classes, the students learned about positioning, technique, tone, sight reading, music theory, fretboard harmony, arranging, songwriting and instrument building.

The students learned an incredible amount in this short time and finished up with an amazing demonstration of solo, duo and ensemble performances from styles ranging from pop, blues and classical music.

Jonathan Zwi spent the month of August as an artist-in-residence in the village of Tatuamunha, Brazil, along the country’s Coral Coast.
Through his painting, Jonathan sought to evoke some of the natural and social experiences of daily life in this rural part of the country.

By straining the sand from his beachside residence, Jonathan filtered out everything but the finest-grained black sands to be used as raw materials in his paintings.  With a limited palette of black, white, ochre and gray, these sands were used to create a textural and aesthetic reference to the black-washed beaches that result from the receding tides. 

Stephen Caracciolo:
Dr. Stephen Caracciolo, associate professor of music, will serve as a guest presenter at the National Pastoral Musicians Conference in Baltimore next summer in 2018. His publisher MorningStar Music is the sponsor for the event and he is slated to lead a conducting demonstration and lecture for an hour.

Justin Drew:
This summer, Mr. Drew did a residency at "music for all" with the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He also performed with the Baltimore Symphony for their Fourth of July celebration at Oregon Ridge.
