Internet Access at Events

For an event (meeting, congress, conference, workshop etc.) in the area of the MWN, network accesses can be set up by the LRZ if necessary, so that (external) participants can use the internet and the MWN. For events whose participants come purely from the academic-scientific environment, it is recommended to use the "eduroam service", which is available free of charge at all locations of the Munich Science Network (http://www.lrz.de/services/netz/wlan/eduroam/). For events with few participants, it is also possible to have WLAN guest IDs set up via the master user instead of a conference network (see https://doku.lrz.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=27394051). Here, each of the guests receives an individual, time-limited guest ID with which the WLAN can be used. Furthermore the LRZ supports the BayernWLAN initiative (https://www.lrz.de/services/netz/wlan/bayernwlan/), i.e. the open network @BayernWLAN is available at many locations in the MWN.

Internet access is activated for events. In principle, access is possible via fixed network outlets (100 MBit/s LAN) as well as via wireless access (WLAN according to IEEE 802.11g/n/a/ac). The feasibility depends on the existing infrastructure; not all buildings and rooms offer this possibility.

Scope of Services and Service Specifics

During the event, a fixed IP address network will be available at the activated data outlets and/or WLAN access points (by default). This is assigned via DHCP. In the event of excessive data traffic (e.g. due to a virus-infected computer), access for this computer will be blocked; the restrictions of the LRZ-Gateway Secomat apply.

When accessing via WLAN, the SSID "mwn-events" with WPA2 encryption must be used. For this purpose, the organizer will receive an event name and a password which must be used to log on to the conference topics.

A sheet with information on network access should be distributed to the participants of the event.

Service Parameter

  • Contact person: Service desk (for fault reports and service requests) https://servicedesk.lrz.de or phone: 089/35831-8800
  • Maintenance times: none
  • Set up times: 4 weeks before the event

The current requirements must be coordinated with the LRZ in good time (at least 4 weeks in advance). Therefore the registration form has to be filled in, see https://wlan.lrz.de/conferences/new/.

Requirements

The service can only be offered in buildings in which the MWN is available with structured cabling and WLAN (https://monitoring.mwn.de/maps/wlan/).
