How Do I Get Connected?
1. Meet all the requirements for access.
2. Be aware and accepting of all University and Network Policies. These
can be found on our website at address: http://acsweb.fmarion.edu/ResNet/Text/Policies.htm
3. Simply find your ResNet packet of printed information, plug your
computer into the data jack provided for you in your room and boot the
computer. Our Clean Access system will then prompt you to install a
client and register your computer into our system. During this installation
you may need to change the setting of any firewall you might have installed.
Follow the instructions, which may be presented to you in pop ups, by
your firewall software or Clean Access system. A packet of helpful documentation
and instructions will be available to you upon your arrival to assist
you in this process.
In order to connect to ResNet your computer must have:
• an operational Ethernet Port (integrated or an installed Ethernet
adapter).
• an updated operating system installed which supports TCP/IP and
DHCP services. Operating system developers (Microsoft, Macintosh) provide
free critical updates/software patches to improve the functionality
and address security concerns associated with their products. These
updates are critical as they protect individual computers and the networks
they reside on from the various viruses, worms and security issues that
are currently associated with use of the World Wide Web. They are free
of charge and require users to access their web pages and install the
relevant updates. These updates must be obtained on a regular basis
and if possible should be acquired prior to arriving on campus.
Microsoft Windows Updates can be found here:

Information on Macintosh OS X Updates can be found here:

• updated antivirus software installed to protect
your computer and our network from internet worms and viruses.
We require that one of three antivirus products be purchased and installed.
These products are: Symantec Norton's Antivirus, McAfee Virus
Scan and Trend Micro's PC-Cillin.
Along with the purchase of your antivirus product you must keep your
virus signature file subscription and the files themselves up to date.
Antivirus developers release these signature files on a weekly basis
that allow their software to recognize and take appropriate action against
all newly discovered and previously known viruses and worms. You must
download these files on a regular basis to obtain and retain access
while on campus.
After your initial purchase of a product you generally have a valid
subscription for a year after which you will need to purchase another
subscription to keep your computer safe from attack.
