A cordless network system is being tested in the JS
Gericke Library to establish the capacity, speed and reliability of,
as well as the demand for, cordless appliances. The test
period will last until approximately the end of November this year.
One cordless network access point has been installed
at die general information desk on the upper level of the JS Gericke
Library for this purpose. This access point has a range of
between 30 and 50 meter. This means that anyone can use
his/her computer (normal or laptop) within this area without
connecting to the network with a cable.
To make use of the cordless facility your computer
should have a PCMCIA (cordless network) card. PCMCIA cards
will be available for loan at the Library Computer Department during
the test period. If your computer already has such a card, it
should be registered with the Information Technolgy Division.
With cordless network access we endeavour to make
library sources more accessible, improve technological flexibility
and comply with the growing demand for the use of laptops in the
Library.
We encourange all cordless users to try out the
facility and also welcome enquiries and feedback. For this
purpose, please contact John Dovey at tel.: 808-4100 or e-mail:
pjcd@sun.ac.za
