Request - Notification When IB Tech Support/FTP Sites Are Back Up.
My understanding is that the IB Tech Support and FTP sites are unvailable due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Could Kerry, or someone at IB, let us know when both are back online, via Focal Point?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Thanks for bringing the question up, I believe you are not the only person with questions.

I just checked and it seems the techsupport.ibi.com website is working properly, can you please advise, which part(s) of techsupport is not working for you? Then I can forward the request to internal technicals.

Due to the hurrican storm, the New York office is closed, while our support staff are working remotely, so there may be delays in response and we will provide support and services to our best capacity.

Thanks to everyone's understanding and cooperation.

Cheers,

Kerry

FYI to all, the TechSupport website (http://techsupport.ibi.com) is expected to be restored by 6:00 p.m. EST today, as well as the FTP functionality. Sorry for any conveniences and please keep us posted in case you experience difficulties later.

Cheers,

To all Focal Pointers,

All of our communications were restored as of 11 PM October 30. Our ISP installed a new backup generator to restore power.

Thank you for your patience.

Cheers,

Kerry
