What we do? Manage and monitor the Physics network Physics Firewall Activating network ports / repair of network ports Monitoring network traffic flows Wireless system Physics_S Adds and changes to the Physics phone system new VoIP system to be introduced 2nd quarter 2017 in the DWB and Theoretical Physics, rest of the department 4th quarter 2017 Swipe card system, swipe and proximity
Network Sockets & Concentration Points Not all sockets are live, please contact network@physics.ox.ac.uk with the port label and room number. Please do not connect any CAT5 wall sockets together as shown in the picture. Please register personal laptops at http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/it/account/ 16 network concentration points (NCP’s) in the Denys Wilkinson Building alone. Level 2 NCP hub of the Physics network with 2 x 10Gb fibre connections going to each of the Physics buildings. All wall sockets are capable 1Gb/s connections. Backbone connection currently 1Gb/s due to be upgraded to 10Gb/s 24/10/2016 University backbone is currently 2x(2x10Gb/s), a redundant active passive pair giving 20Gb/s total. Telephone adaptors.
Physics Wireless Network Local Wifi is available in all public areas within Physics via the SSID Physics_S, we do not guarantee that all offices are covered due to cost constraints. If you are shifting large amounts of data it is better to use the wired network. Anyone with a Physics network account can connect. Clients connected to the Physics_S wireless network are part of the 10.7.0.0/16 subnet, with 802.1x authentication. Help on connecting to Physics_S can be found at http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/it-services/categories/wireless
OUCS wireless network OWL-VISITOR and OWL-VPN are available, via the OWL ssid. Eduroam is available, connect using your Remote Access Account, different from your SSO or Nexus account http://help.it.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/index Details about both OWL & Eduroam at http://help.it.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/index
Access to Physics Services remotely Virtual Private Network (VPN) vpn.physics.ox.ac.uk works with Microsoft, Linux and OSX clients, uses Physics authentication domain help at http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/it-services/categories/vpn Best to setup Windows client with Automatic as the VPN type, the client will then try a number of VPN types, our VPN server supports PPTP and SSTP, PPTP often gets blocked a the client end because the required GRE protocol is blocked. We have issues with new installs of macOS 10.12 Sierra working with SSTP which we are still looking to resolve IT services VPN details at http://help.it.ox.ac.uk/network/vpn/index

Access to Physics Services from the un-trusted subnet or remotely Exchange email web access https://mail.physics.ox.ac.uk, Outlook Configuration If using Outlook 2007 or 2010, then you can use the `autodiscover` feature. Basically, all it needs to know is your email address (which it will already know if you are logged into the domain) and it will look up all the other information it needs. Further details can be found at http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/it/email/exchange/2010/Outlook.htm Webdav via browser or windows network locations https://winfe.physics.ox.ac.uk/home/<username> connects to your windows ‘H’ drive. (Windows 7) Right click on ‘Computer’ within the file explorer, click ‘Add a network location’, type the address above into the ‘Internet or network address field’, click next, authenticate with you Physics credentials, type a name in for the network location, click finish.
