First Time at NANOG? Start Here!

Sunday Activities

Welcome! Sunday's tutorials will be held at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Check the agenda for topics, times, and locations. Paper copies of the agenda are available at the registration desk and will soon be online at www.nanog.org/mtg-0505/agenda.html. Slides for the tutorials and General Session talks on Monday/Tuesday are linked off the agenda page.

We'll have a coffee and refreshment break at 3:00 p.m.. After dinner, be sure to join us for our Welcome Reception, and then for the second in our series of special community meetings. We'll meet at 7:30 in the Cascade I Room (Mezzanine Level).

Terminal Room

You'll find terminals, Ethernet ports, a printer, and power outlets in the Grand Crescent Room (Grand Level.)

Wireless Network

If the wireless network isn't up yet, it will be shortly :)

Merit's wireless authentication system makes it easier for us to isolate any problems with the wireless net.

To access the wireless network, launch your browser. You'll be redirected to a gateway server and prompted for your email address. Once registration begins at noon on Sunday, you must enter the email address you used to register for the meeting. If you're not sure what address was used for registration, check with the staff at the registration desk.

Once you enter your email address, the gateway server will record your assigned DHCP address and MAC address. Your HTTP session will then be redirected to the URL you originally entered in your browser.

Wireless cards are available for loan in the terminal room (Grand Crescent). See our wireless handout for instructions; consultants will also be on hand to answer questions about drivers and installation.

Beer 'n Gear

Monday evening from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. is your time to socialize with engineers from participating companies. They're there to answer your questions and hear your comments. Enjoy the beer and food too--you probably won't need dinner afterwards. (A good thing, since the BOFs start at 7:30 p.m., right after the Beer 'n Gear.)

Questions?

Merit and host staff will be glad to help you out. Check with us at the registration desk, the A/V platform in the back of the ballroom, or in the terminal room during business hours. You can also send questions to nanog-support@nanog.org.
