The ProcessThe Process
Researcher sends an email request Researcher sends an email request to the MAGPI NOC for the amount to the MAGPI NOC for the amount of additional bandwidth and the of additional bandwidth and the required daterequired date
A confirmation is returned by a A confirmation is returned by a technician and the event is technician and the event is scheduled through a standard work scheduled through a standard work orderorder
Through the Yipes! Web interface, Through the Yipes! Web interface, bandwidth is increased the evening bandwidth is increased the evening before the eventbefore the event
