About Wireless Network Access
The University of Chicago's Networking Services group operates the Laboratory Schools' data and voice network. To gain access to the wireless data network, one must be eligible for and claim a CNET ID.
CNET Access for employees
Lab School employees are eligible to claim CNET IDs once they are on the payroll.
Sometimes newly-hired personnel need CNET access before Human Resources feeds personnel data to Networking Services. Curt Lieneck and Rob Koontz are empowered by the University to log on to the CNET system and authorize new users on a pre-feed basis.
Once you are in the CNET system, visit http://cnet.uchicago.edu/ to claim your CNET ID. Information Systems staff can help you claim if needed. When employees claim successfully, an e-mail account on University servers is also created that is different from Lab School e-mail. We recommend you set this uchicago e-mail account to forward to your ucls e-mail account during the claiming process.
When you leave the Laboratory Schools' employ, your CNET privileges expire when your contract ends. This is a University practice, not a Lab Schools' practice.
CNET Access for students
The Registrar's Office sends a data feed to UC Networking Services which includes identifying information for CNET-eligible Lab School students (all students in grade 6-12).
Students who wish to use personally owned laptops or other Wi-Fi capable device on the wireless network need to claim a CNET to do so. Other students may find it useful to claim a CNET for access to some Regenstein library resources. Lab School students are not eligible for uchicago e-mail addresses.
Visit http://cnet.uchicago.edu/ to claim your CNET. You will need to know your Lab School student ID number to claim successfully. Students looking for help with claiming may see Mr. Franke or Ms. Billingsley in the second floor U-High computer labs in 202 and 203.
When you graduate from Lab, your CNET privileges are discontinued soon afterwards. This is a University practice, not Lab Schools'.
Students should be aware that the University monitors the network for unusual bandwidth use, illegal file sharing, peer-to-peer network activity, and other violations of Acceptable Use policies and state and federal law. They can and do bring violations to the Laboratory Schools' prompt attention, and the Schools cooperate fully with their investigations, including those initiated by the RIAA, DMCA, and law enforcement agencies.
Temporary CNET privileges
For meetings, conferences, consultants, guest speakers, and Parents Association Board Members, temporary CNET access can be authorized by Curt Lieneck or Rob Koontz through the University's Trusted Agent program. Please contact Mr. Lieneck or Mr. Koontz to request such access. Certain restrictions apply and access is not guaranteed by requesting it.
