Network hackerspace Strassen

This page hosts details on our internal network, wired as well as wireless.

Every hackerspace has a network to connect to the Internets, so does syn₂cat

Bring your laptop or use one of the available PCs, plug it in and off you go. There's also wireless LAN available.

Here's the current layout in fancy ASCII art.

Wireless

We have two access points (APs).
One of them operates in WPA2-Enterprise mode, the other in WPA2-Personal. The WPA2-Personal AP uses the formerly published pre-shared-password (you can find it in the space).

The WPA2-Enterprise AP uses a radius server for authenticating users with their WIKI account.
Only paying sy2cat members are able to use their WIKI login to access this AP.

Use the following settings:
Security: WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: Tunneled TLS (TTLS)
Inner authentication: PAP
Username: <wiki-user>
Password: <wiki-password>

Be sure to use exactly those settings, else it will not work.
Windows users will have to resort to some third-party software (wpa_supplicant, securew2, ...) as m$ decided to not implement any other standard protocol besides their own.

Mac users should be fine... please somebody confirm.
