Pick-up Procedures

Information and Media Networks has reviewed our pick-up procedures and developed new steps to better serve our customer base. Currently, there are numerous devices that are available for pick-up in Dupre Library 302; analog phones, 705s, Cat5 cables, speakerphones, LCD projectors, overhead projectors, flat screen TVs, DVD players, plus additional audio-visual equipment.

Previously, the pick-up of equipment had to be done by a faculty or staff member. This has at times posed problems due to scheduling conflicts of faculty and staff requirements. In order to alleviate scheduling conflicts, Information and Media Networks will now allow faculty and staff to send student workers to pick-up requested items.

The only requirement is that the student must provide their Student ID for verification. If there are any questions regarding this new procedure, please contact Information and Media Networks at 482-6418.

UNIVERSITY WIRELESS ISSUES (Sept 29, 2010)

The Office of Information Technology is aware that the University wireless has been experiencing technical difficulties recently. We have been researching the causes of these difficulties, as well as developing a solution to serve University faculty, staff, and students now and in the future.

If you are experiencing any problems connecting to or remaining connected to UWIN, UWIN-MTG, or UWIN-VPN the following steps will guide you to connect to an alternate wireless SSID. The “UWIN-E” SSID is provided to alleviate the recent problems.

FIRST-TIME CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Power up the computer, enable the wireless interface if necessary, connect to UWIN-E if not automatically connected, and wait for the indication that the wireless network is connected
  2. Open your web browser; if your browser does not show a NetReg login screen, your computer has already been registered with NetReg and you are ready to use your computer
  3. The first time you use UWIN-E, you may be taken to the NETREG registration page. Follow the instructions to register your computer. Wait two minutes, reboot your computer, and repeat the above instructions
  4. Use your computer
  5. After you complete the above steps, there will be no need for you to repeat them. When you connect to UWIN-E, access will be automatic

SUBSEQUENT CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

UWIN-MTG will continue to be available for University meeting needs to support outside participants Internet access so long as the equipment continues to operate. UWIN-E does not function as an outside resources; it is strictly for the use of University faculty, staff, and students.
