Information Technology and Internet Access

Wireless Internet Connection

A public wireless internet access is available for your use. This service is provided by a commercial internet service provider and is not administered by FEI, OPM, or any other government agency. Users have the responsibility to ensure that agency-issued laptops conform to security standards for use through a public wireless network. While FEI employs encryption to access the wireless network, this encryption does not substitute for security measures approved by your agency.

Wireless Access

FEI uses an SSID code and WPA-2 Personal encryption. You will need to do a one-time only set up to access to the Wi-Fi on the FEI campus.

High-speed Wired Internet Connection

A high speed wired internet connection is available on the top of each desk in every bedroom. Plug the LAN cable available on your desk into the network connection of your laptop. Additional configuration is usually not necessary. Most laptops can automatically connect to this commercial DSL network.

Please note: Do not attach any routers (such as a Linksys or ZyXEL, particularly if it is not configured for DHCP) to the LAN connections without first contacting the IT/AV department.

If you need a LAN cord for your computer, please contact your Program Coordinator. Please return them at the end of the program.

Computer Workstations

In the Main Building, there are four laptop workstations located in the Macy Wing on the second floor, and two workstations in the Virginia Study. In Gwin Hall, there are two workstations in the lobby and three workstations in the Susan B. Anthony Room. Each computer workstation has internet access.

These are unclassified, public workstations, and are not to be used when working on sensitive materials. Also, do not change the configuration or setup of these workstations or attempt to add additional software of any kind. If you do not find the program you need, please notify the Program Coordinator.
