Wired Ethernet
The procedure for connecting to the wired (ethernet) network depends on which building you're located in.
FMRIB/Wolfson Buildings
The FMRIB and Wolfson buildings provide at least one 1Gb ethernet connection to all desks. It may be possible to request additional sockets for additional devices, but this is not always possible.
Network access is divided up into classes of device, with each class being allowed access to different resources:
Personal devices
These are privately owned devices that have had their MAC address registered with IT support. These devices will need to be checked over for suitable anti-virus and be running a supported OS (and fully updated) to be allowed to be connected. Once you have provided your MAC address you will be able to authenticate on the network with your WIN computing credentials. Users should contact IT help for information on how to configure their computer.

Departmental devices
These are owned by the department. Typically, these will have been pre-registered by IT before you are given the device but if you replace the ethernet adaptor you will need to notify IT support of the new MAC address. These devices are authenticated with your WIN computer credentials.
