Network
Students can connect their personal computers to the campus network using the network ports available in each room.
- Students are required to bring a network cable in order to connect to the network, as wireless access in the residence halls is limited to the lobby area.
- If a student wishes to bring their own wireless router to obtain wireless access, the router must be configured by Information Services prior to use. For more information, please see this knowledgebase article.
- All student computers must be registered with our network prior to being granted internet access.
- This is an automated process that occurs when the computer is first connected to the network.
- Information Services staff will be present in each residence hall on move-in day to assist with problems.
- Students using the campus network are expected to abide by our Good Netizen rules, which can be found on our knowledgebase.
- Since the automated registration process does not work with game consoles (XBox, Playstation, etc.), they must be registered manually. Please see this knowledgebase article for more information.
Telephone
Students are required to provide their own telephones for all Residence Halls
All calls made off campus must be placed with a calling card. You must dial a 9 to place calls off campus.
To report a problem with your phone line:
- Dial x2492.
- Provide a detailed description of the problem, your name, room number, and extension.
- IS will place a service call with Westmoreland Telephone, if the trouble is in the phone line.
- DO NOT bring your telephone to Information Services. Your telephone is your responsibility.
Troubleshoot first:
- Phone rings too low: check the volume control on your telephone.
- Static is usually the cord or handset
- No dial tone: Unplug the telephone from the jack, and plug it in again.
