-To connect any device to the Physics network, you must abide by our [[:computing:policies:network_connection|network security policy]].
-Unlike most other buildings on campus, the wired network jacks in Tate Lab, and the Physics-occupied areas of Physics & Nanotechnology are operated by Physics IT rather than the University.
+The wired network jacks in the Physics-occupied areas of Physics & Nanotechnology and Tate Hall are operated by the University.
-To register a computer for use on the Physics network, follow these steps:
+To connect any device to the Physics network, you must first register it and agree to abide by University security policies.
-  - First, find the network hardware address of your computer. You can find this using [[http://www.oit.umn.edu/network/using/setup/index.html|these instructions from OIT]].
+Only full members of CSEIT can register devices on the network. In general, only University-owned (not personal) devices are allowed on the wired network.
-  - Scroll past OIT's instructions on registering your computer, and follow steps in the section on DHCP Ethernet Configuration.
-  - Register your computer for the Physics network using our online [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/network/|Network Registration Tool]].
-===== Identifying network jacks =====
+To register a computer for use on the Physics network, follow these steps:
-The network jacks in Tate Lab are separate from phone jacks. By default //most// network jacks are active for use.
-Phone and network jacks in Physics/Nanotechnology are common. Each wallplate generally has 3 jacks in offices, or 4 jacks in labs. OIT always use the first jack in a wallplate for phone service, although which wallplate will vary between rooms. We are using the following default rule 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: second jack in each wall plate, ie AB AE AH AK AN AQ AT AW
-  * labs: TBD
-===== Changing your network registrations =====
-<box 40% red right|Important>All systems in the School of Physics and Astronomy should use DHCP to configure their network address. You should never enter address information into your computer manually.
-</box>
-You can use the network tools to list your currently registered network devices, change or remove them, or add additional ones.
-  * [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/network/myhosts.html|My network devices]]
-===== Fixed Network Addresses =====
-If you need a fixed address, you should still register it using the online tool. You might need a static address for a server or other devices such as network printers.
-In the registration tool, check the box to request a static address. We will register the hostname and assign an IP address for you. You should still configure your computer to use DHCP; our network will provide the assigned fixed address.
+  - Find the network hardware (MAC) address of your computer. [[https://kb.netgear.com/1005/How-do-I-find-my-device-s-MAC-address| How do I find my MAC address?]].
+  - Contact csehelp@umn.edu with:
+   *Is administration of the device self-managed or managed by CSE-IT
+   *MAC address
+   *Building and Room
+   *Jack Number
+   *Preferred Host Name
