Connecting to the network from within UWA lecture theatres

All central teaching facilities on the Crawley campus have appropriate connections for laptops.

Major venues also have a built-in PC in the lectern for loading presentations stored on a USB memory stick or CD/DVD. Lectern PCs can handle most commonly used files such as PowerPoint, Adobe Reader and DVD video.

Connecting

The PCs are connected to the UWA Utility network so you can have UWA web access. If you prefer to use a laptop, this option is still available. Venues with lectern PCs are listed below.

Laptops in lecture theatres can be connected to the internet either wirelessly or via a network cable.

1. A connection to the central utility network managed by IS. This is a blue cable plugged in to the side of the lectern. Whether you are using a departmental laptop or your own personal one, it will need to be configured to work on the Lecture Theatre network as it is a different network to the central administration network. Contact your department's IT Support section and ensure you note down any changes made to your configuration. You may need to change the settings back to connect from places other than lecture theatres.
2. A connection to the departmental network of the section that manages the building. For these, you will need to check with the particular department IT Support for how you can connect.

The basic connection gives you access to the UWA network, but not to any external sites.

If you wish to browse external internet sites, you will need to use either the UWA Web Proxy, make a VPN connection, or access the wireless network.
