Network Registration and Configuration

Guests

If you are a short-term visitor to Tate Lab, please see our guests page.

To connect any device to the Physics network, you must abide by our network security policy.

To register a computer for use on the Physics network, follow these steps:

  1. First, find the network hardware address of your computer. You can find this using these instructions from OIT.
  2. Scroll past OIT's instructions on registering your computer, and follow steps in the section on DHCP Ethernet Configuration.
  3. Register your computer for the Physics network using our online Network Registration Tool.

Changing your network registrations

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.

You can use the network tools to list your currently registered network devices, change or remove them, or add additional ones.

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.
