Module 1: Using Computers, LANs, and Email for Academic Coursework

Task 1: Logon to the Network

Name: _______________________ Instructor: __________________ Section: ________

Objectives

In this task you will learn to:

• logon to the Multi Media Lab LAN (local area network)
• logon to the AUI LAN
• connect to your personal partition on the AUI LAN

Instructions

Each time you attend class, you must logon to the AUI LAN (local area network). This will give you secure access to your own files, stored in your partition on the network. You will also have access to these files when you logon properly from anywhere else on the AUI LAN. (The logon process in other labs on campus may be slightly different.)

You must also logoff from the network before you leave class. This protects your files from use by others and allows other students to quickly logon to the network for class.

Your instructor will provide a demonstration and a handout to help you learn to logon and logoff the first time. This web page offers only a brief review of the steps.

NB: Do NOT record your userid or password in your noteook! You should memorize these and NEVER reveal them to anyone else. They will help you to protect your files on the network.
