The SSC maintains an Affiliated Network that visitors with laptops
can plug into and access the internet. Visitors are encouraged to
have DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) software installed
on their laptops prior to their visit to accommodate this connection.
Access to SSC printers is possible with this network.
Visitors must fill out and sign an Affiliated Network Access Request
Form when they arrive. This form asks for basic information about
your laptop (type, model, OS, MAC address) so we can backtrack to
a user if an issue arises.
Is access to the Affiliated Network needed?
The SSC has four science desktop computers (Macs) and two Linux
laptop computers with external keyboards and external 20" monitors.
The desktop and laptop computers will be assigned to SSC visitors
on a first come, first served basis.
If a visitor computer account is needed, would you prefer to have a Linux or a Mac account?
Any other requests you may have of the SSC during your visit?
Thank you, and we look forward to accommodating your visitor needs.
