Important Information Regarding Computer Use
Visitors:
PPPL provides internet access for visitors who bring a personal computer
and wish to check e-mail or browse the web while on-site. Visitors who
need internet access are required to register their computer upon
initial network connection to PPPL's wired or wireless guest network,
and all registering computers must meet limited set of configuration
requirements. These precautions are in place both for the protection of
the PPPL network, and for the protection of our visitors accessing a US
government network:
- All guest computers must have antivirus software installed and running.
- The antivirus signature in use must not be more than two weeks old.
- For Microsoft Windows computers, critical patches older than 30 days must be installed.
Visitor's computers are automatically scanned during network
registration to determine compliance with these requirements. If the
scan detects non-compliance, the visitor is presented with a web page
detailing why the scan failed, and instructions to correct the issue.
Limited access to the internet in order to download and install the
necessary updates is permitted after a failed scan. In most cases, the
required configuration changes are simple and should take just a few
minutes. PPPL helpdesk staff are available for additional assistance if
necessary. Once the changes have been made, the computer is re-scanned
automatically and granted access to the PPPL guest network.
