**FOR RUTGERS STUDENTS LIVING ON CAMPUS** WELCOME BACK!!! I hope everyone received lots of tech gear and such for Christmas and had a wonderful winter break! To re-iterate from the fall, Rutgers is now on a different server than last year (2013) and the procedure for registering your device(s) has changed! If you need help getting set up or run into problems after being setup and dont feel like waiting in line at the help desk, I have made myself available during move in day to assist you guys! I will be available on: 1/18 from 8pm-10pm for all campuses (by call) 1/19 from 10:00am-6pm out of Busch Campus **For Transfers** If you know any incoming transfers that need help with getting setup, please refer them to me so I can help them out! **For Returning Students** Please dont think this doesnt apply to you!! EVERYONE is on a new protocol system, and please dont assume anything, if you have questions let me know! I will be taking time slot reservations, however, my priority will be to hit freshmen first. If you have multiple devices especially, please let me know. Everyone should have gotten an email stating that there is a change in protocol and routers are also going to be banned within the dorms unless specified otherwise. Let me make this clear for those of you who are computer people and know some of the finer details and some of the different ways to work around, RESnet will be doing bi-weekly and monthly sweeps of the dorms to detect wireless signals, if you somehow get a router through, you will get it shut down, and I am warning you guys ahead of time, the staff have made the consequences more severe than I would have thought. First instance is a warning, the second is loss of residential networking privileges and the third is a loss of internet access to your netid and password login to lab computers as well as RUWireless and RUWireless secure. If you get to this point, no one can help you, so just dont even try to do it. Also, to whom it may concern, I CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO HAVE A WIRELESS ROUTER UNLESS PROTOCOL DICTATES THAT I CAN. IF YOU ASK ME I WILL SAY NO! My phone number is 609-649-3755. If anyone has any questions please dont hesitate to contact me as well, as I get more information, I will relay pertinent things to all of you! Best of luck during move-in and hopefully everything goes smoothly! See you all on Sunday!
