How To (AKT ORL)

Hey, You failed the test!
You are not using AKT Orlando WiFi or Ethernet! Go back to this section!

Halp! I have questions

Remain calm, take a sip of coffee and look for answers in the text below.

1) I cannot connect at all!

Well, you are the 0.01%. Let your supervisor know so a call can be setup to help assist.

2) Am I going to have to learn a whole new system?

No, it will function exactly the same and BlackArmor. You create files and folders as usual. Biggest difference is that the folder path is no longer /Public/Clients it will just be /ARTWORK. ARTWORK is the new Clients folder. ARTWORK will have all the same folders/files as Black Armor’s Clients does.

3) How long do I have to switch systems?

You still have time to switch systems. BlackArmor will go offline on Tuesday, May 19th 2015 09 AM EDT. So hurry up, do it now!

4) What if I worked on something 2mins before we switched from BlackArmor to BlackBox?

BlackBox will be an up to the millisecond carbon copy of BlackArmor. Once we take BlackArmor offline, we will do one more final backup to BlackBox and then it’s off to the races.

6) I cannot find my login credentials to BlackBox!

Well, you done fucked up. I told you to save the email. I told you ಠ_ಠ !
If you really really need it. Click here to request new credentials.

7) What is BlackArmor and BlackBox?

If you made it this far and are asking this question…Welcome, take a seat and jump over to youtube and watch this video.
