Computing

Wireless networking is available throughout all the main buildings on the site. The wireless network name is AIRLIGO; no encryption is used. In the Conference auditorium there are electrical power and 10baseT ethernet connections at each seat. A computer users room will be set up around the office areas, which will have more ethernet and power connections, as well as computers and printers.

DHCP is available for connection to the site LAN.
