Review

• Internet access directly to each headquarters
  library (except for Sunset, Oberlin, Ville
  Platte, Jena)
• WAN bundles or WAN circuits at each headquarters
  library that has frame relay branches
• Public libraries have determined bandwidth for
  branches.

What Happened to the Hubs?

• There are still two libraries acting as hubs
• Ouachita
• Calcasieu
• Direct Internet Access to each of the other
  headquarters will provide
• More stability. You voiced concern that that
  your libraries would go down if the hub was
  down. Now each library system is independent of
  the others.
• More local control over configuring your firewall
  and router (and WAN router if you selected the
  unbundled option).
• Fewer hops to get out to the Internet.
• Increased total bandwidth for the same cost.

  to direct Internet traffic to the new
  BellSouth-installed Internet Router.

Direct Internet Access

• Bundles installed by July 1, 2005. Will replace
  LANET circuits.
• What you need to do
• If have IP addresses other than those provided by
  SLL, will need to get new ones.
• If have public IPs, will need to move NATing to
  firewall and provide private IPs.
• Provide Cat 5 cable between Internet router and
  your firewall. All libraries must have a
  firewall.
• Power outlet and space for router.
• Ship LANET csu/dsu back to SLL.

When Will WAN Routers / Circuits be Installed?

• When you get your Funding Commitment letter,
  contact BellSouth and schedule installation.
• If you want to upgrade before getting your
  funding commitment, write a letter to Diane Brown
  at the State Library stating such and
  guaranteeing that you will pay the full amount
  should you not get Erate funding.
