Visitor Presentations
Visitors using presentation machines or their own computers have three methods of authentication to the network. If the guest is giving a presentation, the rooms that are to be used must be scheduled with Conference Services and Computing Services must been notified by Conference Services of any computing resources needs at least three business days in advance.
Using a campus owned presentation computer
Computing Services will provide Conference Services with a "Presentation Machine" username and password which will be made available to the visiting individual or group for the duration of their stay. This username and password is to be used exclusively on presentation computers, which are available in all E-Classrooms. Use the "Presentation Machine" username and password provided by Conference Services at the Novell Login prompt and click OK.
Using a guest-owned laptop and the campus wired network.
This method requires an Ethernet Network jack in your computer which is not the same as a Modem or phone jack. Computing Services has no means through which to provide modem or dial-up service to visitors. Additionally, guests are expected to provide their own Ethernet cables.
Conference Services will notify Computing Services of which rooms/labs/areas will be used by the visitors. Computing Services will modify the network ports in those areas to allow guest access, and will mark each wall port with the word "guest." For internet access follow the instructions below.
- Plug your computer into a port marked "guest."
- Turn on your computer.
- Open any web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
- You should now see the Denison University Wireless Gateway. If you don't see the gateway try refreshing the page, manually browsing to www.denison.edu, or if it still fails, make sure that your computer is set to use DHCP.
- Following the on-screen directions, enter your email address in the yellow Guests box in the upper left corner, and click Log in. You may now browse the internet.
