Upper management decided to migrate some network solutions/hardware from one to another due to cost savings. I got dispatched to support a collegue's site for the upgrade and re-ip.
This site is a warehouse site, it has a lot of warehouse technology such as label printers, scan guns, vehicle mounted computers and etc. All these devices communicate with various servers on the network. Re-ip means these devices would have to be reconfigured. This also includes all office technology--network printers, workstations, and more.
- Prepared configuration USB sticks for warehouse devices
- Reserved IP (DHCP) for network printers and label printers.
- Manual checks on all workstations (e.g. office computers, mobile carts) to confirm devices take on new IP subnets.
- Worked with AIMS to reconfigure label printers being connected correctly on the print server.
- Reset/reconnected and logged in with all vehicle mounted computers and scan guns to ensure devices are able to connect wirelessly and reach their respective servers.
- Configured computer specifically for Baxter team to ensure their operation remains smooth and functional.
- Monitored warehouse device wireless connection and reported back to network team to adjust WAP coverage by location where there is weak or no signal.
- Hypercare for WAP coverage, network storage, and warehouse technology operation.
- Cleaned up and recycled cardboard boxes that shipped all the network gears and appliances.
- Allocated disposal pile for old network equipment that is replaced by the project.
