Computer Centre
has
installed WLAN on 802.11b/g to allow accessing IITK
computing resources (Local network and Internet ) through
the Wireless communication. WLAN employs mobile network
access through the Wireless Access Points. Only authorized
users can access the IITK network as well as Internet
Services.
Computer Center has started running a DHCP server for
academic area network. Now you need not set a specific IP
address for your machine, and configure it to get the IP
address automatically.
(DHCP will also set other parameters like gateway, subnet
mask, etc. automatically.)
Only IITK users authorized to access IITK Network from
any place in campus (where the Access Points are Installed) using
various commercial Wireless Cards (i.e. Cisco, Orinoco,
D-Link, Linksys etc.).
In IITK, WLAN is used to provide reliable and proper network
connectivity to mobile on-campus users. They can access all
servers and applications which they can access from wired
structure.
WLAN Coverage Area :
Computer Center, CSE Building, Northern Lab -1,
Northern Lab -2, Southern Lab, Core Lab,
Visitors Hostel, ACES Building, Western LAB,
Western Lab Ext., Aerospace, Lecture Hall Complex, BSBE,

Access Point Installation Details |
| |
In each
building we have placed the access point in a place
which we felt would be most convenient for mobile
users. As of now, we have more than 100 access
points in various locations.
If there
is any location in any academic building where there
are a couple of people using laptops and other WiFi
enabled devices, and the signal from the current
access point is weak, then CC would be happy to
place another access point in that location. Please
report such cases to
Mr.
Navpreet Singh
(navi@iitk.ac.in).
We are giving the details of locations where we have
put WiFi access point.

Setting for WLAN
:
-
Insert network card in laptop.
-
Choose SID : iitk
-
DHCP Setting : Enable the DHCP
- Open Network Connection
Dialog Box and check Wireless connectivity status.
(Here it will give the information
about
wireless signal strength, connectivity etc.)
we
advise that for all desktops you continue to configure it
with static or permanent IP address, and use dynamic or
automatic IP addresses for your mobile devices like laptops.
Having a static IP address helps in diagnosing problems
related to networks, and if the configuration is to be done
only once in its lifetime, then that effort is worth the
benefits. But if the computer is to be moved around, then
configuring it every time in a different location is
tedious, and only in such situations, dynamic IP address
should be used. Your static IP addresses will continue to be
allotted through the department CC coordinator. Top
