Wireless network configuration is automatic for Windows-based laptop computers that are configured to Chicago-Kent’s Windows networking domain. The process happens seamlessly during a normal network login over a wired Ethernet connection.

Chicago-Kent’s wireless network supports the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking protocols. 802.11a is also supported in many areas of the building. Most laptops come equipped with built-in wireless adapters that will support the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. If you do not have a built-in wireless adapter, please contact the CLC Help Desk at x65300 or at helpdesk@kentlaw.edu for a recommendation.

CLC Monthly Network Maintenance Schedule

The Center for Law and Computers will conduct regular monthly maintenance windows on the first Tuesday of every month (5a.m. - 7a.m. in the morning) for "Patch and\or Update" management on systems that need to be rebooted.

Remember too that there may be "emergency" times when manufacturers release "critical" update patches that need to be installed immediately. The CLC will make every attempt to send out an announcement in advance when the "critical" updates need to be installed and systems rebooted (however, we cannot always guarantee advance notice since certain patches/updates need to be applied ASAP before a breach is made).

All network services including Internet access, email, web mail, network drives, and network printing will be down during the above scheduled time.

Maintenance will be conducted on the following days:

Tuesday, September 8, 2009

Chicago-Kent's Internet Service Provider (Illinois Century Network) backbone maintenance window is on Fridays from 2:00am - 7:00am. During this maintenance window it is possible that the Downtown Campus building may experience intermittent Internet connectivity.
