What is the difference between the "public access network" and the "computer data network reserved for faculty, staff, and computer labs" mentioned in the policy?
- The UT public access network is a collection of Ethernet ports in public areas across campus and all wireless access points connected to UTnet, the campus network. The Public Network allows members of the University community and sponsored guests to access University computing resources and the Internet from many buildings and common areas using network-capable laptops and portable devices. With the UT public access network, you have to log into the system with a valid EID account before you will be allowed to use the network. The UT public access network is maintained by ITS and problems with the public access network should be directed to them.
- The "computer data network reserved for faculty, staff and computer labs" is maintained by the Information Technology Office and ITS holds The Information Technology Office responsible for all devices that connect to this network. The College of Education Network Security Policy as well as UT Austin information security policies applies to this network. If your computer is plugged into a computer data port in an office, then it probably is not a public access port but rather a port that connects to the Information Technology Office maintained network.
