Computer Access |
In the HALL OF RESIDENCE there is NO WIRELESS connection. However each bedroom has an ethernet connection for which you would need to bring YOUR OWN CABLE. This allows connection to the University of Liverpool network, for which we can provide a guest login on request. HOWEVER note that the university's network is very fussy about the level of security which your laptop enjoys and it is possible that you will need to download additional software in order to use the network via ethernet.
The security requirements can be checked in advance with a scan: see http://www.liv.ac.uk/csd/connect/nac/
In the HALL OF RESIDENCE there are also 9 fixed terminals from which you can access the university's network with a guest login.
In the UNIVERSITY there is the wireless network eduroam. You will need to ensure that your laptop or wifi device has the necessary software to allow access to this international network; this is normally obtained from your home university, provided your home university does subscribe to eduroam. You then log in with your home university username and password. Non Eduroam users please request a Guestnet account from the organizers.
A laptop can be automatically configured for Eduroam in advance: see http://wireless.liv.ac.uk/
In the UNIVERSITY building where the conference will be held there are also about 50 fixed terminals which you can use together with a guest login which will be provided on request.
Note that one guest login may be shared by several participants (this still allows their simultaneous use of the login). |
