Simmons Network Improvements Are Under Way

TechNews, , , ,

In an effort to improve network security and to provide better access to services based on your role at Simmons, Technology has begun a project to enhance both the wired and wireless networks.

This project began on March 20th and will continue through April 30th. It should not cause any downtime on our networks but you might notice some minor changes to your login process during the project if you’re using a personally-owned Mac or PC or a Simmons-owned Mac. If you’re using a Simmons-owned PC or accessing the network wirelessly or via a wired connection in the residence halls, you shouldn’t notice any change.

If you have additional questions, please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222.
