Hi everyone,

Now that we've more or less got the hard stuff out of the way for the 
canterbury->blackburn move, there are a few things that have changed which 
you need to know.


1.  Direct phone numbers

For the time being, your direct number at Canterbury (if you had one) has 
changed from 03 9831 26xx to 03 8878 26xx, where the xx corresponds to your 
2-digit extension (50-something or 60-something.)  For instance, my previous 
direct number was 03 9831 2666, it's now 03 8878 2666.  These new numbers are 
going to be valid for as long as we're using AAPT ISDN for our direct 
indials; this may change, but it should be safe enough to hand these numbers 
out to suppliers/customers/etc.

The switchboard/main number is (by extension of the above) 03 8878 2600.

2.  Fax number

The new fax number is 03 9877 0422.  Redirection from the old fax number will 
be done later this week.  As at Canterbury, the cordless phone (upstairs, 
located next to the fax) shares this line.

3.  Remote access

Remote access via a VPN connection still works, but you'll need to change the 
destination address in your VPN settings.  Double-click on the icon, click 
the 'connection settings' box (or similar), and change the destination phone 
number/address from "61.9.147.85" (old canterbury IP address) 
to "203.206.182.161" (new address here.)  Other than this one small change, 
nothing else needs to be reconfigured.  If you're having problems here, let 
me know and I'll come and set you up.

4.  Alarm system

The alarm system needs to be disarmed by the first person in at the start of 
the day (you'll know if this is you, I'd suggest), and re-armed by the last 
person out the door at the end of the day.

The alarm panel is on the left side of the closest wall of the 
boardroom/conferenceroom as you walk in the front door.  Disarming the system 
is as simple as typing your unique 4-digit code into the panel.  Re-arming 
the system is a shade more subtle, you'll need to make sure that everybody 
else has left the office, and stand in front of the panel until all of the 
various activity lights go out, and the green 'secure' light comes on.  When 
this condition is met, you can arm the alarm by entering the same 4-digit 
code.  The 'armed' light will then activate, and you have roughly 20 seconds 
to leave the building.  Be careful locking the door after the alarm is armed.

5.  Phones

Please let me know if you don't have a phone; we've ordered a more, and there 
are a couple coming from Eltham.

6.  Network outlets.

We have a very limited number of Cat5 network outlets here.  If you need an 
additional outlet, it's possible to multiplex two 2-pair outlets over one 
piece of 4-pair Cat5, let me know if this is necessary.  You can also plug 
your PC into the 'PC' port on your phone, and phones can be cascaded in this 
fashion given enough cable.

7.  Anything else

If I've missed anything, please drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.  If 
I've missed sending this to anyone, please forward it on and let me know.

Regards to all,
--
