Conference net
The Divison of IT Conference Net is an access to a wireless Internet connection. Users need to enter a password to connect to the network. The conference net is not open for more than 5 consecutive days.
Conference guests need to be 10 or more. If guests are fewer then 10 then it is better to apply for temporary access to wireless connection and computer labs for each individual user.
In the case of teaching or a course, you should apply for a user name for each student and use the wireless network "Eduroam".
When wireless conference networks are activated/established, all wireless networks in the relevant building are restarted and this causes network connection disruption. As a result, wireless conference networks are NOT established/activated except at the following times, in order to minimize interference with other wireless networks:
- In the morning to between 05:00 and 08:00 For lunch between 12:00 and 13:00 And between 16:00 and 24:00
- This means that if an application for a wireless network is received between 08:01 and 11:59 on the same day as the conference starts, then the conference network CANNOT be activated until 12:00
When connecting through HInet you must follow the Acceptable Use Policy.
- Only employess of the university can book a conference net.
- If a third party has been allocated a facility in the university, then the responsible department/person should apply for the conference net.
