Connection to the printer can be done in the cybercafé via the network (wired/wireless)

Wired Ethernet LAN

A number of Ethernet connections (RJ45) 10/100 Mbps are provided in the cybercafé to connect laptops to the Internet.

Wireless LAN

Access to the Internet and RPM-ARB documents is available through Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g in the entire conference area.

To make the most efficient use of network resources, we strongly recommend the following:

• Ensure that your user account has administrative privileges. Should you require help onsite, the Event Service Desk staff will only be able to help you if you have administrative rights on your laptop
• Refrain from using peer-to-peer connections.

Please note that the installation and use of non-ITU wireless access points without prior authorization from the Event organizers is prohibited.

Useful reminders for laptops

Wireless LAN configuration parameters

The following parameters should be set in order to connect to the ITU wireless network:

• Set the case-sensitive SSID as “ITUdelg”.
• Set Operation mode to “Infrastructure” (not Ad-Hoc or peer-to-peer). The Ad-Hoc mode creates a lot of confusion not only for you but also for other participants.

Notes on using wireless connections

1. Wireless network connections are good for web browsing but fair for FTP downloads or for telnet applications.
2. Before taking out your wireless card (or any other PC card from its slot), you should first properly stop it, or risk re-installation of the operating system.
3. Wireless cards can drain considerable power from your laptop – so recharge your laptop frequently.

Network Connection settings

• Enable DHCP so that your laptop will obtain the IP address and other network parameters automatically

Security

Please be aware that delegate network communication can be intercepted, end-to-end encryption is recommended for confidentiality.

If you are concerned about computer security, please use personal firewall software.

Firewall software configurations may prevent access to local resources (e.g. printers).

All wireless users must have a good anti-virus program that has up-to-date virus database. Viruses can easily spread in the wireless network. You will also need a few spyware detection programs such as Ad-Aware.

Web-proxy

• Ensure that your Internet browser’s proxy setting is removed.

Socks

• Disable any SOCKS configurations
