===Initial temporary authorization===
When you are at Fermilab you may connect your laptop and other devices to one of the labwide wireless networks:
* guest
* eduroam
* fgz
Everyone may connect to the guest network; no registration is required. There is no longer a time limit for use of the guest network; you may use it as long as you are at Fermilab.  You will be able to connect to most, if not all, Mu2e resources via the guest network.


When you first come to the lab you may temporarily connect your laptop to the lab-wide wireless system. Open up a web browser when you connect to the network. You will be redirected to a temporary registration page. Your machine will be scanned for viruses and vulnerabilities. After successfully registering and passing the security scan, you will need to release and renew your DHCP IP. For more information, refer to [https://fermi.service-now.com/kb_view_customer.do?sysparm_article=KB0010655 Getting Connected].
If you have and eduroam account from your home institution, you may connect via to eduroam wireless network at the lab.


If you have several network interfaces on your laptop ( for example both wireless and wired), you need to do this for each network interface the first time that each is used.
To have full access to all resources at Fermilab you must be authorized to connect to the fgz network.  To get authorization for your machine see the Fermilab node registration form: http://appora.fnal.gov/pls/default/node_registration.html ; there are two versions of this form, one for equipment own by institutions (Fermilab, your home university of lab ) and one for personally owned equipment.  In the "Identifier Type" field, select "Hardware Address" and in the box enter the MAC address of your network interface.  If your machine has more than one network interface you should register all of them.


===Permanent Authorization===
On a scientific linux machine you can learn the MAC address of your network interfaces with the shell command: /sbin/ifconfig.  On a MacIntosh use: ifconfig.  On a Windows machine open a "Run Command" window and type ipconfig.


The temporary authorization will last for 5 days. During this time you should register your machine with lab and you will be granted a permanent authorization. See [https://fermi.service-now.com/kb_view_customer.do?sysparm_article=KB0010655 Getting Connected], node registration link. In the "Identifier Type" field, select "Hardware Address" and in the box enter the MAC address of your network interface.

When you are at Fermilab you may connect your laptop and other devices to one of the labwide wireless networks:

  • guest
  • eduroam
  • fgz

Everyone may connect to the guest network; no registration is required. There is no longer a time limit for use of the guest network; you may use it as long as you are at Fermilab. You will be able to connect to most, if not all, Mu2e resources via the guest network.

If you have and eduroam account from your home institution, you may connect via to eduroam wireless network at the lab.

To have full access to all resources at Fermilab you must be authorized to connect to the fgz network. To get authorization for your machine see the Fermilab node registration form: http://appora.fnal.gov/pls/default/node_registration.html ; there are two versions of this form, one for equipment own by institutions (Fermilab, your home university of lab ) and one for personally owned equipment. In the "Identifier Type" field, select "Hardware Address" and in the box enter the MAC address of your network interface. If your machine has more than one network interface you should register all of them.

On a scientific linux machine you can learn the MAC address of your network interfaces with the shell command: /sbin/ifconfig. On a MacIntosh use: ifconfig. On a Windows machine open a "Run Command" window and type ipconfig.
