+====== Connecting to the network ======
 ===== Network Connections =====
-  * To connect a new computer to the **wired network**, [[:computing:network:registration|follow this guide]].
+**For computers managed directly by Physics IT, we will take care of network activation and registration. Please inform us if you are moving such a computer, in case changes have to be made**
-  * For **wireless networking**, here are directions for the [[http://www1.umn.edu/wireless/|University of Minnesota wireless system]].
-  * **For Tate Lab classrooms**, network jacks in the podium are provided by classroom services, and require separate registration. More information at http://www.classroom.umn.edu/faq/network.html
+  * **Wired network in PAN**.
+      * The wired network in PAN is managed by the University.
+      * If the network jack you are using appears inactive, you may need to contact Physics IT to arrange for OIT to activate it (each jack has an ID on it, for example "130-AB" - we'll need to know this) There is a cost to activate Ethernet Jacks in PAN and Tate.
+  * **Wireless networks** are provided by the university: here are the directions for the [[http://www1.umn.edu/wireless/|University of Minnesota wireless system]].
+**Identifying PAN data jacks**
+Phone and network jacks in **Physics/Nanotechnology (PAN)** are shared between phone and data. Each wall-plate generally has 3 jacks in offices, or 4 jacks in labs. We always leave the first jack in a wallplate for phone service, although which wallplate is actually used for this will vary between rooms.
+We are using the following defaults to wire data jacks in PAN:
+  * faculty, staff and postdoc offices: second and third jacks in each wall plate, ie AB, AC, AE, AF (and AH, AI, AK, AL if present)
+  * graduate student offices, flex spaces: second jack in each wall plate, ie AB AE AH AK AN AQ AT AW
+  * labs: By default, second and third jack in each 4-jack wall plate.
+If you are having trouble connecting to the network please [[nethelp|consult this page]]
-<note>
-Physics IT does not provide support for wireless networking. If you have wireless connectivity issues, please contact 1-HELP, rather than Physics support. If you need hands-on assistance connecting a particular device to the wireless network, you should be able to get help at Techstop in Coffman union.
