Approval of Minutes for March

The minutes of the March meeting were approved as distributed.

Modem Use on Campus - Paul Hernandez
It has been determined that there is a significant amount of modem usage for outbound calls in offices on campus where high speed network connections are available and, therefore, for the most part do not need the use of modems. This ties up a voice trunk for a considerable amount of time. In order to save money, CaTS will be cutting the number of voice trunks on campus. As a result, CaTS staff will be contacting all users to determine the need for those modems and if the campus network can accommodate their needs in place of the modems. Only those modems determined to be necessary will be registered as viable devices.

Rogue Wireless Access Points -  Paul Hernandez
A situation occurred recently involving an individual who brought in a wireless access point and plugged it into the network. Due to the configuration, it crashed the network campus-wide. Therefore, CaTS is in the process of identifying unknown wireless access points, determining the type as well as correcting any mis-configuration. This process will occur during the summer and into fall quarter.

RROX Updates - Terry Anderson

1. On April 16, CaTS deployed the service allowing students to request parking permits via ROX. The charge will be on the Bursar bill along with their fees.

2. Students have been able to view Financial Aid award letters online for several weeks, and as of this week can now accept, reject, or change the letters via ROX.

3. This week the Budget Transfer electronic work flow form was deployed.

CTL Updates -  Dan DeStephen
There were no updates for this month.

Announcements

1. Bonnie Mathies distributed copies of a memo regarding questions on insurance coverage of university equipment which is loaned out to faculty, staff, and students. It was decided that Dan DeStephen will contact Matt Filipic regarding a possible policy to address this issue.

2. Barbara Denison announced the 3rd Annual Dayton EC Forum eConference on May 13, 2003 from 8a.m. - Noon in WSU's Student Union.

3. Jim Vance inquired about the possibility of cheaper long distance rates for the university. Paul Hernandez replied that CaTS will be going out for bids on long distance service in the very near future. CaTS is also experimenting with IP telephony for possible implementation. However, there are several significant problems with this at the present time and will continue to investigate.

4. Perry Moore announced the release this week of House Bill money. This information will be distributed to the Deans in the near future.

5. Paul Hernandez had several announcements:
   a. The Cingular tower is up and the electronics are in the process of being installed. Once this is completed, the fiber optic system will then be deployed throughout the tunnels. CaTS is in the process of drafting an RFP for Cingular telephone service. Hopefully, this will be deployed by the beginning of fall quarter 2003.
   b. 3rd Frontier Network Update - The backbone has been funded; the hookup of the IUC schools does not have funding to complete all of this phase. It is now being determined which schools will be hooked up first. Due to WSU's location, it is likely to be one of the first schools to be connected by the end of the year.

The next scheduled UTC meeting will be on Thursday, June 12, 2003, in 267 University Hall from 3-4p.m.
