The Ag Communications & Technology (ACT) Checkup Form for SAES faculty with projects and special events is now online. The online checkup is the starting place for publications, videos, Web design and all Ag. Communications assistance other than computer and information technology support. (An online checkup for those services will be up and running later this summer.) The online form is set up with some required fields (which reflect the basic information required to get a request to first base) and faculty and staff using the form need to fill in ALL these fields to ensure their requests are routed to ACT.
The Campus Computer Center sent out a notice last week concerning security enhancements for the campus wireless network which will require new configurations for all wireless users. The memo indicated that instructions for reconfiguring computer for wireless connectivity are available on the ITT Web site. These directions do not apply to many SAES laptops; hardware as well as software modifications will be needed to restore wireless connectivity to many SAES computers. Ag. Communications & Technology's computer support team is going to set up a schedule for upgrading all SAES computers for wireless connections on campus. In the meantime, it is very important that the technical specifications for all new laptop are reviewed to ensure they will be compatible with the campus wireless network. If you are planning to order a laptop or already have a request pending, please contact ACT's computer team leader, Mike Bratcher, at bratcher@ncat.edu.
