IP registration

• Any device (PC, laptop, printer, Apple Macintosh, X-terminal, workstation, ...) which is connected to UGentNet via wired network ( = using a UTP cable) must be registered.
• After registration a (dynamic) IP address is assigned to your device. Without an IP number assigned you can NOT connect to the network.
• The IP registration can only be done using the online form: https://www.netadmin.UGent.be/ (Dutch only, only accessible from within UGentNet).
• Requirements to use the form are that your telephone number is in the LDAP (for UZ staff, an extra field is provided) and that your faculty department has a Head of department.
