ITS Classroom Computers and Networking
Overview
CITES Classroom Technologies is responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the computing services contained in ITS classrooms. We are available to answer questions related to the resident computing systems, laptop hookup, specialized software installations and other computing issues concerning ITS classrooms.
Laptop Networking
Most laptop users will be able to seamlessly move from home to the office and to the classroom with no need for reconfiguration.
To access the wired network connections that are in or on ITS cabinets, we ask that you to register your laptop’s MAC address with our office. The MAC address is a unique network identifier for your laptop and by registering your MAC address with us, we are able to provide network services only to registered systems. This prevents misuse of network resources and helps to preserve a high quality service. Registering your MAC address only takes a moment and allows us to better administer the ITS Classroom networks.
Classroom Computing Security
When placing your laptop on the ITS Classroom network, you are responsible for ensuring that your system is virus-free and that all security patches are applied beforehand. We emphasize this as part of a continuing effort to promote computing security campus-wide and to ensure that critical resources remain operational for instruction.
