Completed ~ Jan 2015. Current wireless in Physics's Admin conference room is homebrew. Since access is not controlled, and on the Physics Admin network, this is "not good" from a security (and CU policy) perspective. Ideally, should be serviced by RedRover.


Options considered 6/10/14

Any change will result in the wireless MAC address needing to be registered. Both RedRover and Access Net require this.

PhysIT work with Barry (technical) and CIT (technical and pricing; work with Laurie Collinsworth, as of 5/5/14). And Todd (coordination and possible synergies).

Notes

Ideal option 1: Upgraded nearby RedRover AP meets room's needs

$1,356 for 2 new APs ($678, 5/5/14)
+ ~$400 CIT labor (likely a high estimate)

No new wiring or conduit: Simply take down and put up new ones. And program the 2 APs appropriately.
Pull out homebrew AP.

Ideal option 2:Add RedRover AP to room.

$678 1 new AP (price as of 5/5/14)
+ ~$500 CIT labor (likely a high estimate)

Soft install acceptable? Require "soft" wiring (no conduit). And programming of the AP.
Pull out homebrew AP.

Option 3: Switch underlying network to current AP to Access Net.

$70, if single work order. Switch network AP's jack is on.

Test that Access Net's DCHP and MAC registration (same as RedRover's DB?) passes through.
