Original Post:

Some users are getting “502 bad gateway errors” when trying to access Moodle or Carleton web pages.  ITS is investigating the cause of this issue.

Phone service has been restored. Inbound and outbound calls should work normally.

At around 3:30PM a change made by our phone service provider caused Carleton to stop being able to call off-campus numbers or receive calls from off-campus numbers.  While we have implemented a workaround to allow outbound calls, fixing inbound calls will require the vendor to resolve their issue.  We are working with them but do not yet have an ETA.  Updates will be posted here.

ORIGINAL NOTICE:

ITS is hearing reports of students and faculty in campus housing having problems getting a network connection in some campus locations, including residence halls. If you experience this problem, you should wait about 5 minutes and then try again.

We are currently exploring the cause of this issue and will report back as we learn more.

ITS made a change to our network configuration as part of our network redesign process that resulted in a brief, unexpected, campus-wide internet outage. The change was reverted and service was restored within five minutes.

Carleton faculty and staff should once again have their correct Zoom “pro” licenses assigned to them.  If you are continuing to see restrictions on meeting length, logging out and back into Zoom should resolve the issue, but please feel free to contact the ITS Helpdesk if you need more assistance.
