Also, a new ID system computer was installed this summer, the Digital AlphaServer 1000. This computer will not only support the ID system, but will also provide improved performance. By next spring we will start issuing new Baylor ID cards for students, faculty and staff. It is a completely new look that will sport a digitized color photo. A goal of the telephone and computer installation staff is to streamline the installation process.
Installations can take from a couple of days to six weeks depending on the time of year.
Needless to say, we strive for the quickest completion time. Please be specific as to the people, offices and equipment that will be involved. If you are purchasing new equipment, follow the progress of your request and any associated computer or telephone purchase requisitions. Equipment can be placed on the installation list only when the requisition is received either by the Microcomputer Store for computer equipment or by Telephone Services for telephone equipment. The beginning of each semester is the busiest time for the Communications section.
