19 March 2002 The CDL IP address change for telnet and Z39.50 access that was originally scheduled to take effect tomorrow (March 20, 2002) has been temporarily postponed. A new date for the cut-over to the new IP address has not be determined. If you use the numeric IP address rather than the domain name (the preferred mechanism), do not change this IP address tomorrow to the new address listed below. The original CDL Alert that contained information on the IP address change is included below for your reference. Please share this information with your colleagues. ============================================================ The CDL mainframe server is being upgraded with new network connection technology designed to improve response time, stability. This upgrade will change our IP address for telnet and Z39.50 access. It should not impact users of our web services. If you use domain names, e.g., dbs.cdlib.org or melvyl.ucop.edu, to access our CDL-hosted databases via telnet or Z39.50, then this change will be transparent. If you must use numeric addresses, then you will need to change the numeric address from 128.48.141.7 to our new address, 128.48.140.10 when we make the cut-over. Our cut-over date is March 20 at 5:30 am. If there are any changes to this date we will notify you via this list. If you experience connection problems after this date, please check with your local library systems or computer support staff. If they cannot assist you in resolving the problem, call the CDL Helpline at (510) 987-0555.
