Email access and laptop registration
Email Center
You will have access to an Email Center where you will find a number of
Windows PCs and 10/100 Ethernet ports for laptop use. These facilities are
set up for your use in checking your email. Instructions for logging on to an
account at your home institution and information about print queues are posted
in the Center. This facility is open 24 hours a day. You will find the Email
Center at the north end of the ground floor of Wilson Hall.
Wireless access and device registration
Since only a limited number of terminals are available in the Email Center,
conference attendees are encouraged to bring their own computers. Wireless
(802.11b) network connectivity is possible in most of Wilson Hall and in the
village User's Center. Your computer will need to obtain an IP address via
the laboratory's DHCP service. Please be aware, however, of the restrictions
for obtaining IP addresses via DHCP. Although all computers must be
registered in order to use the Fermilab network, visitors to the lab may
obtain temporary network access. This temporary registration expires at
midnight each day. To access the temporary registration form, simply start
your web browser and request any web address. Fill in the required
identification information. Your computer will then be scanned briefly for
vulnerabilities, and an IP address assigned. You will either need to reboot
your computer, or restart your computer's networking, in order to use the
assigned IP address.
Further information on device registration can be
found in the DHCP registration
FAQ.
If your wireless driver does not successfully connect to the Fermilab 802.11b
network, try the following configuration settings:
SSID, also known as "Network Name", "Service Area", "ESSID", "WLAN
Service Name":
- Try leaving it blank for auto-detect
- Try the keywords "ANY" or "any" for auto-detect
- Use the keyword "tsunami" (not "TSUNAMI")
Network type: Use "Infrastructure Mode" (not "Ad-hoc")
Preamble mode: Long Tx preamble
Tx mode: 11 MB ("Automatic" will work on some cards, else hardcode to 11Mb)
DHCP: enabled
WEP / Encryption: Disabled
WEP Key: WEP is disabled
Radio Channel: leave blank or set to "auto"
