-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.+To connect any device to the Physics network, you must first register it and agree to abide by University security policies. 
 + 
 +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.
  
 To register a computer for use on the Physics network, follow these steps: To register a computer for use on the Physics network, follow these steps:
  
-  - First, find the network hardware (MAC) address of your computer. OIT has some [[http://it.umn.edu/services/all/data-network/wired-network/setup-guides/index.htminformation on how to do this]]. +  - Find the network hardware (MAC) address of your computer. [[https://kb.netgear.com/1005/How-do-I-find-my-device-s-MAC-addressHow do I find my MAC address?]]. 
-  - Ignore all instructions that don't involve finding your MAC address. +  - Contact csehelp@umn.edu with: 
-  - Register your computer for the Physics network using our online [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/network/|Network Registration Tool]]. **Note**: Only people registered in the Physics directory can use this tool. +   *Is administration of the device self-managed or managed by CSE-IT 
- +   *MAC address 
-===== Identifying network jacks ===== +   *Building and Room 
- +   *Jack Number 
-The network jacks in Tate Lab are separate from phone jacks. By default //most// network jacks are active for use. +   *Preferred Host Name 
- +
-Phone and network jacks in Physics/Nanotechnology are shared. Each wallplate generally has 3 jacks in offices, or 4 jacks in labs. OIT always uses 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: By default, second and third jack in each 4-jack wall plate. +
- +
-===== 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.+
