ADVISORY TO ISCS USERS

Date/Time of Maintenance: 2nd Wednesday of each month at 00:30 UTC

Type of Maintenance to be carried out:
Verizon Business would like to swap the Socket Server and Multicast server to the backup server. After traffic has been verified security patches will be updated on the now offline servers.

1. Stop PDReceiver
