Office/Lab Relocation Guidelines:
SEASnet does not physically move network equipment such as computers or printers. However, if you are relocating equipment within any engineering building, it is your responsibility to coordinate the move to ensure continued network connectivity.
If SEASnet services are needed as part of an office or lab relocation or renovation (see below), a Service Request must be submitted at least 14 business days prior to the date you need network equipment to be operational in the new location. This timeline applies only to spaces that are already cabled. Requests that require new network lines or wireless access point installations will incur additional costs to the department and may significantly extend the project timeline.
Please include the following information in your request:
- Current room number and building of the equipment
- New room number and building
- IP address of the equipment being relocated
- Network port the equipment will be connected to in the new location
- Date of relocation
- Status of any existing network equipment in the new location (if applicable)
Facilities Renovation Guidelines:
If you are planning any room renovations and the affected areas include network connections, please submit a SEASnet Service Request at least 14 business days before Facilities begins work. This advance notice allows SEASnet to secure data lines and prevent your department from incurring additional costs due to improper handling of network infrastructure.
SEASnet will restore all necessary network connections once Facilities has completed the job, ensuring your employees can return to a fully functional workspace.
Failure to provide adequate notice may result in:
- Additional charges to your department
- Delays to other critical SEASnet projects
- Disruption of network access for your employees
