Effective Date: 9/1/2015
The primary method of connecting computers and other devices to Bethel’s network is WiFi.
If computers or other devices can not connect to the Bethel network using WiFi then Bethel ITS will activate up to one port per person in a Bethel residence room or suite, subject to the availability of network resources.
If additional Ethernet connections are required then students may extend the network on Ethernet ports in their residences with network switches.
Examples of appropriate network switches:
Example one 5-port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch
Example two D-Link 5-Port Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch
This policy is effective 9/1/2015 @ 4:30 p.m. All previous decisions made regarding Ethernet ports in Bethel residences will be grandfathered in and configured as promised.
