Before you come to CERN:
Make sure that up-to-date antivirus software with live updates
and applicable security patches are installed on your computer.
To prevent virus propagation, network access will be
blocked for computers found infected or vulnerable.
Register the computer in CERN's network database. This
allows us to contact you in case of problems. Registration is
mandatory
and only registered computers will get network access.
Network access sockets (Portable outlets- RJ45) are available in most offices, conference rooms, and the user area in building 513. They support the DHCP protocol.
Wireless access (IEEE-802.11b) is available in most conference rooms. The frequency bands 1, 6, and 11 are used. Set the network name (SSID) to "CERN".
More information can be found on the CERN/IT pages.
