-Unlike most other buildings on campus, the wired network jacks in 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 connect any device to the Physics network, you must first register it using the directions below, and agree to abide by our [[:computing:policies:network_connection|network security policy]].+To connect any device to the Physics network, you must first register it and agree to abide by University security policies.
  
-<note> +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.
-Only full members of Physics & Astronomy can register devices directly in MyPhys. 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 the MyPhys [[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 
 +   *Building and Room 
 +   *Jack Number

-===== 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.
