Now how can you both assume we half to move tables? If I had this train of though when i moved the lans out of the labs and into the UC, Gess wut,,, Wouldent have happened. does eather the MP or Grandroom have our setup? I had to talk to someone and get the details. We got them to bring us tables and set everything up. whats to say the den wont do the same?
The Cat’s Den doesn’t have it’s own set of tables and it’s unlikely they would move a dozen or more across campus. If they were to move them the fees associated with hosting a LAN would probably double to account for the extra labor. A LAN there would probably require us to use the tables that are already there and those wouldn’t support many at all considering the majority of them are round tables. You’d end up with a cabling nightmare and they are extremely touchy about letting people in outside their normal operating hours so setup would be a problem. They don’t even like IT being in there when they aren’t.
Also keep in mind that the Cat’s Den isn’t set up for network activity the way the UC is so that might be a problem. Also, as I’ve said before, kitchen equipment typically uses a different power socket than the powerbox the UC gives us so you’d need to verify that before doing any further planning on this front.
