ANNOUNCEMENTS
————-
* HESSI target for today: AR9866

* Thursday, 21 March, no commanding will be allowed from 23-23:30 UT
while JPL upgrades the Special Function Gateway (SFG). Only a
5-second telemetry outage is expected. Missing data will be
recoverable from the CDR.

* The Soho EOF/EAF secondary router is going to be unavailable at
times over the next couple of months. During this time, all
computers on the EOF/EAF network should be configured to use the
primary router. Paul Doupont has monitored network traffic in an
attempt to identify any computers which were using the secondary
router and they should have now been switched to the primary
router. During this two month period Paul will be working on the
secondary router in preparation for the long anticipated 100megabit
upgrade. This work will occur during normal work hours. Except for
brief periods the secondary router will be available for use in
case of failure of the primary router. Please refer any questions
or concerns to Paul Doupont
