ITSS provides wired network access to most offices on campus.
How do I request wired network access?
Faculty and staff:
Ethernet jacks in faculty/staff offices are activated on request by completing a service request.
Students in the residence halls:
All UMD residence halls and apartments are wireless only. Some residence hall lounge areas will have an Ethernet jack available.
What is the cost for wired network access?
While ITSS no longer charges for labor, costs may be incurred for any work performed by Facilities Management that may be necessary to fulfill the request.
How do I access the wired network?
How you access the wired network depends on where you are located.
Faculty and staff offices:
Ethernet jacks are turned on by request only. Once the jack is live, plug in your Ethernet cable.
Can I put my own hub/router on the wired network?
No. Network infrastructure must be carefully deployed and must be secured against intrusion. Because of these and other issues, customers may not install hubs, routers, or other access points (including wireless hubs) on the University network. This includes offices and the residence halls.
