Essential network maintenance affecting bleep system: 18 November, 10.30pm

November 15, 2021

Please be aware IT will be carrying out essential maintenance to the Trust’s Bleeps paging system on Thursday 18 November from 10.30pm to Friday 19 November at 12.30am. This is required so that we may carry out a planned controlled fail-over of the bleeps system to allow our support vendor to ensure the system is working correctly following some recent issues.

From 10.30pm on Thursday 18 November, the bleep system at all Trust sites will be temporarily unavailable for approximately 60 minutes so colleagues are advised to utilise radios during this time. Please collect radios by 8pm on Thursday evening 19 November and kindly return them to the security control room once the maintenance has completed.

The activity will be closely monitored and desktop alerts will be issued from 6pm to remind colleagues and at completion.

Note: This will affect all staff working the night shift of Thursday 18 November.

Please do call the 24hour IT service desk if you have any queries on this on ext. 4050 or 0121 507 4050.
