You can connect your computer to the network using an Ethernet or wireless link.
Ethernet Link
If you work in an ECE office or lab, please register your computer with us. You will then be able to connect your device directly to the ECE network using an Ethernet cable.
Please submit a service request (see How To Report A Problem) containing the following information:
- Supervisor's Name: [SUPERVISOR'S NAME]
- Your Name: [FULL NAME]
- ECE Account ID: [ACCOUNT ID]
- Building and Room: [BUILDING NAME AND ROOM NUMBER]
- Wall Jack's CCT Number: [CCT NUMBER]
- Computer's MAC Address: [MAC ADDRESS]
- Computer's ECE asset tag: [ECE ASSET TAG NUMBER]
- Prefered Hostname: [HOSTNAME]
- Machine Type: [DESKTOP / LAPTOP / PRINTER / OTHER]
- Expected Termination Date (if applicable): [YYYY-MM]
MAC addresses (6 pairs of hexadecimal digits of the form xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx) can be found via one of the commands listed below (in windows run cmd and give the command in the command window):
- Windows 2000/XP/7/8: ipconfig /all
- Linux, Mac OS X: /sbin/ifconfig -a
Wireless Link
Alternatively, you can connect to the UBC wireless network. The wireless network is managed by UBC IT, so please contact them if you need assistance.
When connected to the "ubcsecure" wireless network, your computer will be outside the ECE network. Most ECE resources such as workstations and printers will not be accessible.
When connected to the "ubcprivate" wireless network, your computer will be on the ECE network. ECE resources such as workstations and printers will be accessible.
The "ubcvisitor" wireless network is not secure, has limited access, and should not be used for UBC business.
