BEW4, BNW2, PSW2, 2SW2, 3SW2, BSE2, 3SE2, SWB ,PSE2, BSW2

Impact to phones, network, and card reader access:

• Phone:   Analog phones run off the phone cabinet on DC power in the 2^nd floor closet, so they should stay up.  (analog sets would include elevator phones, emergency phones, analog courtesy phones, black desk phones, fax, etc.) IP sets on folks’ desks may or may not stay up / working depending on network
• Network:   The gateway is in the D closet 3^rd floor, it’s on a UPS, and may ride out any outage.  Edge switches will be a mix, some are on electrical circuits that are not affected so will stay up, some will go down.
  Private network gateway appears to be on an affected circuit and as such will go down for the duration of the outage.
• Building Access: There will be a controlled power shut down/power up of this system.  The main south entrance will be manned to allow access as none of the card readers in the building will be operational during this time.
