NETworked Residents On Campus at K-State at Salina

Ethernet Connection Details

Each room in the K-State at Salina residence halls is supplied with 2 data jacks and 2 telephone jacks. Data jacks use a standard RJ-45 (8 contact modular) interface for 10/100 fast ethernet connections. Each jack is limited to two registered devices (eg. personal computer, XBox); Routers, switches, wireless access points (including devices set up in "ad hoc" mode), and other networking devices are not allowed.

Equipment Needed

Each resident must supply a Category 5 data cable and have a network interface card (NIC) installed and set up in their computer. Before connecting to the network, residents will need to configure their computer to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS server. Each resident must also submit a registration form (see below).

Registration

Registration of student computers/gaming consoles is required to gain access to the network. Users connecting a computer to the ethernet port in their room will automatically be redirected to a registration form when they open a web-browser. Users wanting to register a gaming console (XBox, Playstation) should verify the ethernet (MAC) address of their gaming console and visit the Information Systems office to fill out an "Application for Dorm Network Connection".

Registration requires acceptance of K-State at Salina's Acceptable Network Use Agreement, K-State's IT Policies, and the K-State Honor System. Violation of the Acceptable Network Use Agreement or any K-State policy could result in sanctions, including but not limited to administrative cancellation of Ethernet service, cancellation of housing contracts, dismissal from the University or legal action.
