The Space Telescope Science Institute provides a dedicated local area network for visitors who may require Internet access.
Wireless Visitor Network
Wireless access (Wi-Fi 802.11b) is available in the following Institute locations:
- STScI Auditorium
- Cafe Azafran
- STScI Boardroom (4th floor)
To use the STScI visitor network, create a new wireless profile on your computer. The wireless profile should be set to use DHCP, with no WEP encryption enabled. Account registration is not needed.
Any computer connecting to the STScI visitor network is required have virus protection enabled. Use of the STScI visitor network is subject to and implies acceptance of the STScI Network Connection Policy (II-F-6).
In the event of a security or other problem detected on the network (e.g., suspicious activity originating from inside the network), the visitor network will be disabled until the problem is resolved.
STScI does not provide wireless cards to visitors. Please work with the IT staff at your home institution to ensure that your system is ready to connect to third-party wireless networks.
