- Connect by using Ethernet or with a wireless laptop connection.
- The visitor network is available in SLAC conference and meeting rooms and in areas supporting wireless networking.
- Set your laptop network configuration for DHCP. There are no static or assigned IP addresses available. A DHCP server will provide your laptop with the necessary network information e.g. IP address, gateway address, and DNS addresses.
- To connect to the visitor network for the first time you will need to open a web browser and attempt to connect to any normal internet web site (we suggest http://www.slac.stanford.edu). If your browser was already running, you may have to hit the "refresh" button.
You will be redirected to a portal web page that provides basic information about the SLAC Visitor Network and asks you to provide some information about yourself. The purpose of asking you for this information is so that SLAC IT can locate you in the event that your computer has a virus or causes problems with the network. Re-registration is required if a device is not seen on the network for more than 2 weeks. \
Before you can proceed to the internet, you will need to agree to the SLAC Acceptable Use Agreement regarding network use. After you agree, your system will be given regular internet access. - To access resources made available only to the SLAC interior network (134.79.nn.nn), use VPN, SSH, or Citrix
- Local network access between computers on the Visitor network is blocked
- To print from the Visitor's subnet see Printing using LPR in Windowsat SLAC
- Support for the visitor network is on a best effort basis. If a problem is reported we will try to address the issue in a timely fashion. Priority for addressing problems will naturally go to networks which are more critical to the SLAC mission:
- Problems should be reported to the SLAC IT helpdesk, ithelp @ slac.stanford.edu.
