The PennConnect CD is available in your College House computer lab, or from the Computing Resource Center, on the second floor of Sansom Place West. Most, but not all, of this software is available to members of the Penn community free of charge. The list provides links to locations from which software can be downloaded via your web browser, as well as links to locations where you can get additional information about the individual pieces of software. Each student has a wall plate that enables access to ResNet's video, voice, and data services. Some wall plates have four jacks, one to access each service - cable television, common telephone line, private telephone line, and PennNet Ethernet.
Many double rooms have a wall plate with seven jacks.
Move mouse pointer over an area of the ResNet Box to see a description below. No action is needed to continue receiving Ethernet services unless you are running the UNIX operating system. UNIX users must contact their primary computing support provider to be assigned a new static IP address before connecting to PennNet. For whom to contact, follow the help instructions outlined in the software installation options. For phone service, complete a Transfer of Telephone Service form.
