Current wireless in Physics's Admin conference room is homebrew. Since access is not controlled, and on the Physics Admin network, this is "not good" from a security (and CU policy) perspective. Ideally, should be serviced by RedRover. |
Any change will result in the wireless MAC address needing to be registered. Both RedRover and AccessNet require this.
PhysIT work with Barry (technical) and CIT (technical and pricing). And Todd (coordination and possible synergies).
Coverage with RedRover.

Notes |
|---|---|---|
Ideal option 1: Upgraded nearby RedRover AP meets room's needs |
$1,356 for 2 new APs ($678, 5/5/14) |
No new wiring or conduit: Simply take down and put up new ones. And program the 2 APs appropriately. |
Ideal option 2:Add RedRover AP to room. |
$678 1 new AP (price as of 5/5/14) |
Soft install acceptable? Require "soft" wiring (no conduit). And programming of the AP. |
Option 3: Switch underlying network to current AP to Access Net. |
$70, if single work order. Switch network AP's jack is on. |
Test that Access Net's DCHP and MAC registration (same as RedRover's DB?) passes through. |
