There are two RESA maintenance events scheduled for this Friday that overlap. The first event is the MISTAR Web Update starting at 4:00 PM. The second event is a network routing change starting at 5:30 PM. Both events are explained below.
MISTAR Web Update
The MISTAR-Q 2.2 upgrade is scheduled to occur from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM this Friday afternoon, February 27th, 2015. This is for all Livingston and Wayne county clients hosted by Wayne County RESA except Detroit Public Schools. MISTAR FrontOffice will still be available for use during this upgrade process, only the WEB applications are affected.
This new release will include many enhancements, bug fixes and new applications. Attached is a list of MISTAR-Q version 2.2 highlights.
Network Routing Change
Staff will be making routing changes between Wayne RESA and district firewalls, Friday 2/27 from 5:30 PM – 6:00 PM. When the change is complete district Internet connectivity will bypass the Wayne RESA ASA firewalls. The goal is to provide maximum network bandwidth and improve network reliability to better accommodate Spring on line testing. During the 30 minute maintenance window connectivity between your school district and the Internet will be interrupted. Also, VPN connectivity to RESA applications such as SMART and Polyplot will be interrupted.
We apologize for any inconvenience that these maintenance events will cause.
