Internet Access¶
Wireless Access¶
Walter Light Hall Rooms 702, 704 and 706¶
For wirelessly connecting to the internet while in WLH 702, 704, and 706, you have the following options:
- QueensU-Secure: see the Queen's IT knowledge base for setup details.
- QueensU-Guest: not recommended for day-to-day work; mostly for visitors.
- Eduroam: as a student or employee at Queen's, you don't need to sign in to Eduroam when on campus. However, the eduroam network is available at many educational campuses worldwide, allowing free internet access. All you need is your NetID and password to use the service.
- mithril: this is the lab's Wi-Fi network. Use this network to connect internet-connected devices in the lab (e.g., printer, 3D printer). The password for this Wi-Fi network is redacted here; ask the Lab Director. This network is for members of MItHRIL only. Do not share this network information with anyone outside the lab.
Ingenuity Labs (Mitchell 395)¶
Ingenuity Labs has two additional Wi-Fi networks accessible to members (in addition to QueensU-Secure, Eduroam, and QueensU-Guest):
- Lab: for web-connected devices, hardware, robots, displays, and equipment (other than computers). To have a device connect to this network, you need to obtain the device's wireless MAC address and send it to Ramzi Asfour in Ingenuity Labs.
- Students: for computers only. Use your Queen's NetID and password to log in.
Ethernet Port Access¶
Before connecting your computer to an ethernet port, you will need to enable the port through FEAS IT. Each port should have an identification tag (a series of letters and numbers). Take note of the tag and submit a service ticket through the FEAS IT system: https://servicedesk.engineering.queensu.ca/servicePortal.
Mailing Lists¶
External Mailing Lists¶
| Mailing List | Link | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Robotics-Worldwide | http://robotics-worldwide.org/ | Robotics-worldwide is the de facto mailing list for robotics researchers, students, and companies. Jobs, conferences, projects, journal special edition article requests, and more are posted on this mailing list. It is best for everyone in the lab to subscribe. |
| euRobotics AISBL Mailing List | http://mailing.eu-robotics.net/info/community | Used for the dissemination of technical, academic, industrial, educational, and practical information about robotics research, development, innovation, and business in general, and about the activities of euRobotics in particular. Similar to and often overlapping with Robotics-Worldwide, but with a more European focus, so some announcements appear here that don't appear there. |
Internal Mailing Lists¶
| Mailing List | Link/Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Queen's ECE Graduate Student Mailing List | ece-gradlist@lists.queensu.ca | All ECE graduate students should be on this e-mail list by default. If you think you aren't on this list, file a support ticket with ECE technical services by sending an e-mail to ecetech@queensu.ca. |
| Queen's ECE All Users Mailing List | ece-allusers@lists.queensu.ca | All employees and students within the ECE department should be subscribed to this mailing list. |
Note: the mithril Wi-Fi password is redacted in this public copy of the handbook (it matches the shared computer account password on the Computer Use Policy page, and current members can get it from the Lab Director). The Mailing Lists section above was formerly its own page and was folded in here as part of a wiki reorganization.
