  1. Public Libraries’Internet Project Louisiana Library Association Thursday, April 28th, 2005

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Firewall Phase 1 “InternetBundle" Headquarters Internet PVC Frame Relay Transport Services Existing EDP or Frame Relay WAN Connections to Branch Libraries are not Changed during Phase 1. Internet Circuit & Router Internet DIA bundle at Headquarters - (Dedicated Internet Access) LAN Switch or Main Branch Existing WAN Router Main Branch Internet Router BellSouth owns/maintains H U B NAT Library responsibility BellSouth responsibility* • State Library: Filed a 471 for "Internet Bundle" at every Parish Headquarters. • The Internet Bundle (Internet circuit, router, administration and maintenance) is owned and maintained by BellSouth. • Billing: The State Library will be billed for the Internet Bundle at the parish headquarters library. • *Parish Library provides: space and power for Internet router, and wiring from the public demarc to the router. • If the main library uses a single router today for both Internet and Branch traffic, a change must be made • to the configuration in the existing router to direct Internet traffic to the new BellSouth-installed Internet Router.

  5. Firewall Phase 2 Main Branch WAN (Bundled option) Headquarters Internet PVC Transport Services Proposed EDP or Frame Relay WAN Connections are upgraded or installed at the HQ site during Phase 2. Internet Circuit & Router Internet DIA bundle at Headquarters - (Dedicated Internet Access) LAN Switch or Main Branch New WAN Router Bundle Main Branch Internet Router BellSouth owns/maintains H U B 225-389-5xxx NAT Telephone line Library responsibility BellSouth responsibility BellSouth responsibility* • Parish Library: Filed a 471 for Telecommunications - "WAN Bundles" • The WAN Bundles (WAN circuits, routers, administration, and maintenance) are owned and maintained by BellSouth. • Billing: The Parish Library will be billed for the WAN bundles in their parish. • *Parish Library provides: Analog phone line, space and power for router, and wiring from the public demarc to the router.

  7. 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 NAT’ing 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.

  8. 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.
