Network Access Facilities

1. Internal access

1. via cable attached Ethernet interface for trusted devices (see [#Trusteddevice below])

2. via wireless interfaceBR in addition to being trusted, the device has to use a special SSID and a WEP key. These are identical for the internal networks at DESY, both in Hamburg and Zeuthen.BR On request you will get the SSID and WEP key from uco-zn.

2. External access (guest subnet, non trusted devices)

• cable based and wireless interface BR The network access to non trusted devices will be limited to the same services like other external hosts.

How to register as a trusted device

The DESY Computer Security Council (RSR) demands that the persons responsible for a computer that should be connected to the internal DESY network have to read

• http://www.desy.de/rsr/intern/rsr-stat-2003-01-rules.html

and obey the rules and sign the form mentioned there. The form has to be sent to uco Zeuthen:

•          email : uco-zn@desy.de 
           fax : +49 33762 77216 
           surface mail : DESY Zeuthen, UCO, Platanenallee 6, 15738 Zeuthen

• We denote a notebook for which a signature of the responsible person is available a trusted device .

• For DESY notebooks centrally supported by DV Zeuthen you should only take attention:

  • [http://dvinfo/NotebookSecurityWindows Notebook Security Windows] and [http://dvinfo/NotebookSecurityLinux Notebook Security Linux ] BR If you follow these instructions you meet the requirements given in the RSR statement.

• The wireless interfaces of devices registered at DESY in Hamburg are considered as trusted devices too, but you have to register the cable based interface in Zeuthen.

• All mobile devices for which the responsible person did not sign the document mentioned above are non trusted devices.

• After the receipt of the signed form we will activate the internal network access for the notebook.
• If you would like to connect your notebook to the internal DESY network in Hamburg too we will communicate the information to Hamburg and initiate the registration if necessary.
