More Wireless LAN Access Points Installed
As reported in the last issue of the News (No. 81), a Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) service was launched in October. To
increase the areas of signal coverage, we have recently completed the installation
of additional WLAN access points at the following sites, where exhibitions
or other events requiring Campus Network/Internet connection are often
held:
- The Run Run Shaw covered podium
- The Haking Wong covered podium
- K. K. Leung G/F concourse
How to use
Parties who are interested in making use of the Wireless LAN facilities
may refer to the User Guide for HKU Wireless Local
Area Network. Below is an extract of the procedure:
-
For each PC to be connected to the WLAN, a Wireless Network Interface Card
(wireless NIC) is required. There are 2 kinds of wireless NICs, one for
desktop PCs (called ISA CardLINK), another for notebook PCs (called PC
CardLINK). Departments or student union societies can loan the wireless
NIC for notebook PCs from the Computer Centre General Office (Rm 223, Run
Run Shaw Bldg.).
-
Install the wireless NIC in the PC.
-
Install the wireless NIC driver in the PC.
-
Reboot the PC, then follow the procedure for signing on the ACEnet (see
http://www.hku.hk/local/cc/acenet/own-conn.htm#login-acenet ) to access
the Campus Network/Internet.
Please contact the undersigned for query about the Wireless LAN service.
