Final Deadline � Friday, May 24^th � All IP with the CME

This is it!  The software and hardware that supports our old network must be retired at the end of this month. We cannot accommodate any additional extensions without incurring excessive costs to our IT department. Therefore, this is our final alert to your firms that you must complete your conversion to IP.  Failure to get off of RJE, by May 24^th will result in a charge to your firm, based on the costs to the Exchange for continuing to leave our older infrastructure in place, exclusively for your firm.

• We will no longer route any data files via RJE.
• We will no longer route or print reports via RJE.

This applies whether you are using RJE via leased line or the RJE over FIN.

You must GET and PUT to our FTP server for data files and use VPS printing to a print queue or printer for print reports and Infopac printing.  Give-up processing must also be converted to one of the IP solutions.  If you do not successfully convert, you can retrieve print reports using Document Direct (Infopac) via the portal. If you cannot access the Internet for portal access, then we will print your reports here at the CME until you complete you printing conversion to IP.

Please see attached notice for more detailed information.
