Active points in teaching spaces

There are a large number of active data points in shared (bookable) teaching areas, these are currently configured as staff or student and can be used by all registered users without the use of any special clients. See teaching room locations and availability of network points for more information about the location of these points.

There are a large number of active data points at the Mawson Centre.  At this time, Mawson Centre ports require a specialised 802.1x configuration to work correctly.  Wireless access is the preferred method of connection for standard roaming computers at this site.
