What do I need to do by when?

Please note the following regarding the test:

 • Participant procedures and access methods are not changed as a result
   of the BCP test;

 • Participants are not required to perform any configurations for the BCP test;

 • ASX will be validating access to each system as part of the failover process,
   Participant validation is not required;

 • ASX is running each key system in reverse configuration, meaning that full
   system redundancy is available for the duration of the BCP test;

 • All Equities Settlement Services BCP systems are full replica environments,
   meaning there will be no service degradation as a result of the BCP test;
   and

 • ASX is not failing over any aspect of the network access infrastructure
   solution.

Customer Technical Support will be available from 08:00 to 18:00 Monday - Friday for technical issue escalation.
