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 Austraclear, ASX Collateral and Swift 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.
