- Personal Connections
- The first thing you will need to find out is whether your place
of work or college room is equipped with a data network wall socket
into which your computer can be plugged.
The person who can provide this basic information and then advise
you on installing and configuring hardware and software will be
your local college or departmental IT support officer.
- Connection of university buildings and college properties
- All main college sites and virtually all university buildings
are linked by optical fibre cable to the University Data Network.
Remaining buildings for which a data network connection may be
required are mainly remote college properties. It is expected that
colleges will address the task of installing data network
connections within their remote properties over the next few years
once the task of networking the main college site has been dealt
with. It is recognised that differing financial constraints and
priorities of colleges will make this process somewhat fragmented.
If you wish to investigate the options available to install a data
network connection to a particular property please contact Alistair James,
