DCO Wired Network
DCO provides wired network access to the EECS and CSE buildings as well as portions EPB, ERB 1, Gerstacker, and BIRB. This service is activated
when workstations are registered and the one time departmental support fee is paid.
Wireless Network
CAEN provides wireless network access within most College of Engineering buildings, including EECS and CSE. Access is limited to students, faculty, and staff of the University of Michigan. Visitors requiring access should contact us for temporary logon credentials.
More information is available on the CAEN Wireless page.
Please be aware that, for security reasons, many types of traffic are blocked on the CAEN wireless network. When connecting to this network, we suggest utilizing the Cisco VPN client (below).
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
ITCom provides virtual private network (VPN) access to all College of Engineering students, faculty, and staff. The VPN provides a secure way to connect to the UM network from off-campus or the wireless network.
Benefits
- The VPN provides an encrypted connection between your computer and the UM network, allowing secured transmission of data.
- Once the connection is established, the VPN is immune to port blocking practiced by many broadband internet providers.
- The VPN provides a UM IP address similar to the one that is provided on the wired network. This allows staff to access resources that are restricted to UM IP addresses from off-campus.
For more details, or to download the client, visit the ITCom VPN page.
