Recent Network Changes?

Is anyone aware of any physical or virtual changes made to the VHS network in the past 2-3 days? The isvhsopen box next to the vending machine appears to no longer have internet access (if it did, it would automatically sync the green LCD to the current time). There is an ethernet cable going from it to one of the wall-mounted connectors, labeled D-1. I assume that it was like this before, but I never paid close attention.
