There are two methods of connection:
 

Method 1: Ethernet

One or more ethernet ports are provided at this location. You will need the following to use them:

• A machine that has been pre-configured to work with the network access ports.  Students with residential ethernet connections are automatically configured;  faculty and staff, please take a look at our Instructions for Configuring Roaming Ethernet. Note that roaming ethernet is available only to members of the Yale community who are currently paying for a network connection (either static IP ethernet, PPP or ARA).
• Windows 95, Windows NT Workstation (version 3.5 or later) or Mac OS version 7.5 or later ("Open Transport 1.1.2" or later).
• An ethernet adapter (built-in or PC card).
• An existing Yale Campus Network connection at your office, college, or dorm room.

• Connect the provided ethernet cable to your ethernet card.
• Connect power and start (power cycle) your machine.

Method 2: Localtalk

One or more localtalk ports, complete with cable, are provided at this location. You will need the following to use them:

• A Macintosh computer that has been configured to work with a localtalk connection. Students, faculty, and staff who currently use localtalk connections in their rooms or offices should already be configured to use localtalk.
• An existing Yale Campus Network connection (a localtalk connection) at your office, college, or dorm room.
• Note that if you only want to access file servers such as ACS Macintosh (and don't want to use TCP/IP applications such as Netscape or telnet), you don't need either an existing connection in your office or room, or any special configuration.

To connect:

• Connect the provided localtalk cable to your localtalk port (usually the printer port).
• Connect power and start (power cycle) your machine.
