Network problems ...

SNF Lab Members:

This morning in the process of installing new Badger interlocks we
apparently cross-wired two sub networks which took the building network
down. I believe that this occurred at about 10:15 a.m. Joe Little
discovered the problem and was able to recover the building network
connection by completely disconnecting the Badger interlock switch from
the network. That recovered the building internet connections but still
left all Badger interlocks inaccessible.

We have since been working to localize the problems. At this point,
most, but not all, of the badger interlocks are working.

There are two areas that will still have enable/disable problems:

The tools that back up to the open pipe rack behind wbgeneral including
stsetch2 and the HDP Plasma Therm tool.

The tools that back up to the fingerwall behind stsetch and innotec.

We are currently working on this part of the system to see if we can
find and resolve the source of the network connection problem. We will
hope to have further tools accessible by 1 p.m.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused.

Thanks,

John
