Network connection request

If you are planning to bring your laptop to CTIO, please take a minute to fill the following form. For each field the form has, type only the info we request. If you don't know what are we asking for, please take a look at the bottom of this page for some hints.

It's very important to:

  • Do this before you arrive CTIO
  • Remember to give both MAC addresses for the WIFI and for the ethernet cable port, otherwise one of them won't work
  • Give accurate data
    • as failing to comply with any of these points will mean that you won't be able to connect your laptop to our network when you arrive.

    As soon as you press the submit button, you'll be redirected to this page. Check your email account, the one specified in the form before submitting the data, as you should receive an email confirmation from us.

    In case of problems, please send an email to pgaragorri@ctio.noao.edu

    Please type in what you see here
      
      


    * MAC address: short for Media Access Control address. It's a unique identifier attached to most forms of networking equipment. It can be easily obtained by executing the following commands:

    On Windows : go to Start -> Run . Type cmd to get a command prompt, and type ipconfig /a or ipconfig /all
    A MAC address should look like this 00-00-FF-06-13-2A
    On Linux (and MAC also) : open a terminal, and type /sbin/ifconfig or ifconfig -a
    A MAC address should look like this 00:00:FF:06:13:2A

    If you have more than one network card on your laptop, please add the other MAC addresses to the MAC address list. Just type the first one, press the <Enter> key, type the second one (and so on).
