Registration of Portable ComputersMike Gerard , IT / CS This requirement applies both to CERN staff using portables and to visitors bringing their own portables. It is particularly necessary in order that for any observed problems related to use of the portable the person responsible for the computer can be contacted immediately. Portable computers which connect to the network via Wireless adapters, for which some particular rooms of CERN are equipped, should be registered in the same way. For these computers the MAC address will be that of the adapter itself. If, however, a portable has both a normal cable interface and a wireless interface then it is the normal interface MAC address which should be registered first. Once this registration has been made the wireless card MAC address should later be communicated by an email to Network.Operations@cern.ch For further details please consult the IT/CS Web page, which was created specifically for visitors but is also relevant to CERN staff, at http://cern.ch/it-div-cs/public/services/notebooks.html http://network.cern.ch/register About the author(s): Mike Gerard is the "Network Troubleshooter" in the Communications Systems Group. |
