This WAN connects each school site and most remote administrative office buildings to the central office for the purposes of electronic communications and Internet access. To date, we have our 14 secondary schools on T1 data lines that converge at the central office. Sigma, and Omega are the designated ISDN sites and are connected.
All secondary sites have new enterprise level file servers installed and are operational.
The central office has installed new servers, core routers, fiber optics, and all hardware necessary to connect up to 56 T1 lines and all required ISDN lines. We currently use our county office for our ISP services and see no reason to change this service at this point. All sites have a Cisco 2600 or 2500 series router, data equipment racks where necessary, Addtran TSU, Panduit Patchbay, Intel hubs, and CAT 5 cable and terminators. This insures that all site are y2k hardware compliant, have increased efficiency, and have the ability to grow as usage increases and technology evolves. Additional drops will be the school site's responsibility for funding and E-rate discounting.
