Setting Up Your Internet Account Manually
Step 1 - Computer System Requirements
(IBM-Compatible)
- Your computer must have a network card
or adapter (e.g., ethernet) installed.
- The
required drivers (software) for the card must have been installed.
-
You must have a Cat 5 (ethernet) cable long enough to reach
from your computer to the Internet port or switch in your room or apartment.
-
Connect one end of the ethernet cable into the network card on the
back of your computer.
- Connect the other end of the cable into the Internet port or
Internet
switch box in your room. The link light on the ethernet adapter on the back
of your computer should light up.
- You also need to have an Internet browser installed (MS Internet
Explorer works best).
Step 2 - Setting up Your
Account
- Click on the Internet browser icon on your desktop to start your Internet browser.
- A pop-up message normally will appear welcoming you to Off Campus Telecommunications.
- This message will show the IP Address and the MAC Address.
- With this information, contact our Customer Service Center at 379-3000 to set up your account.
- Once your account is set up you will need to wait at least 30 minutes for our system to update then restart your computer for your account to take effect.
