Wired connection to UGentNet
Staff of faculties and departments, in UGent buildings, connect their computer to the network using a UTP cable (= wired).
Windows PCs provided by UGent are installed automatically using the "rollout" system. On these devices all necessary software is present.
In advance, the device has to be registered (see: IP registration)
and configured so that the IP settings (IP address and DNS server address) are assigned automatically. This is usually the case by default. 
If not, the configuration should be altered to obtain an IP address automatically.
