Wired Networks

The wired network service allows access to the network through the Iscte’s physical data infrastructure.

This access is only for terminal equipment, not being authorized the connection of network equipment or other similar.

  • In the common spaces (classrooms, auditoriums, laboratories and study rooms,) it is enough to connect the computer to the data network socket.
  • In the remaining spaces (offices and services), it is necessary to request the registration of the physical address of the network card of the personal computer.

VPN

Acronym for “Virtual Private Network“.

The aim of the service is to provide a more secure access to public and private networks for the Iscte academic community. Through this service, a tunnel is created that protects data traffic from prying eyes, even when not browsing a secure network.
