Notification Systems

Use these notification systems to stay up-to-date on the status of Cornell's voice and data networks.

AUDIX Notification Mailing List

Mainframe AUDIX Bulletin Board


The Network Operations Center provides several ways for support providers to ascertain the status of the Cornell Campus voice and data infrastructure including the network backbone, the telephone switches, mainframe computing systems and critical campus services.

AUDIX Notification Mailing List

This mailing list is for support providers only. Subscribers receive AUDIX messages from the Network Operations Center (NOC) when there are significant outages to report. The NOC reports outages that affect both the data and voice networks. The advantage of being on this list as well as net-announce-l is that you will receive notifications about data network outages, even when the data network is down, since this is a voice-based mailing list.

Since there is a limit to the number of people who can be subscribed, the NOC asks that units select one individual who is willing to receive the messages and notify other interested parties within the unit. If you are interested in being subscribed to the AUDIX list, please send the following information to CIT-downtime-mailbox@cornell.edu

  • Your name
  • Your title
  • The department you'll be representing
  • Your NetID
  • Your telephone extension (you must have AUDIX to receive these notifications)

After your request is received, a NOC representative may call you to verify that you should be on the list.

Mainframe AUDIX Bulletin Board

Technology support professionals and members of the user community may call 255-6424 to ascertain the status of Cornell's mainframe systems. An AUDIX message indicates scheduled tests, future known downtimes, and the types of jobs that are running. Priority 4 jobs, intensive computing jobs run after most of the user community has finished working for the day, normally begin at 4:30. The same status information is available via logon messages on mainframe systems.
