Registering Devices on the Student Network

The security features of the student dorm network require all devices to be registered on the network.  Some devices, such as the XBox, will have to be manually entered into the database by a member of the helpdesk staff.  To have this done, you will need to email the Helpdesk with all of the following information:

Campbell Email Address:
Phone Number:
What Type of Device:
The System's MAC Address:

 

Note:  It's also important to know that when we say the username, we do not want any sort of gamer tag or other identifier that you use.  That information is neither useful nor necessary to the registration process.  It must be your Campbell Email Username.
