A 60-day window allows departments to submit work orders to correct non-conforming connectivity. Orders submitted during this 60-day window will not be charged the installation fee, but will be billed the monthly recurring charge.
After the 60-day window has expired and all work orders submitted during that window are complete, ITS will notify LANAdministrators of the scheduled date for enforcement of the host limits per connection.
ITS will apply the enforcement measures during the maintenance window of 5:00 to 7:00 am on the scheduled date. Once the enforcement measures are applied, ports that exceed the maximum host limits will experience an outage.
