What type of network does the College have?
The campus network consists of a fiber backbone with Ethernet throughout the campus. This is connected to
three T1
connections to the Internet.
How much is Ethernet network service to my room?
Ethernet connection is provided at no cost as long as you have an Ethernet card and cable in your computer.
Wireless network is available in all residential halls.
How do I hook up my Ethernet?
The Ethernet jacks in the residential rooms are already active. Plug your Ethernet cord into one of the
RED jacks. Follow the Ethernet (DHCP) Configuration Guides, available
in IT Services, to set
up your computer for our network. If you have problems call extension 4287
Which outlet on the wall do I plug in my Ethernet cord?
Always plug in your Ethernet cord to any RED jack on the wall. You should get a green link light
on your Ethernet Card when you plug in your Ethernet cord. The light appear next to where you plug in your
cord on your computer.
What type of cord do I need to use to plug my computer to the Ethernet network?
You are to use a Category 5 rated cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends. Be advised, when you use a
coupler to attach to separate cords, make sure to get a RJ45 coupler that conducts straight. Some coupler
reverse the conductors from one end to the other and this will prevent your computer from getting connected
to the Ethernet network.
Where do I get an Ethernet cable?
The Computer Center has 25 foot Ethernet cables
available $10.00. If you need a longer cable you must go to a computer store to purchase it.
Who can I contact for network related issues?
