UITS will provide a 10Mbps Ethernet connection to an existing data-jack
that has been installed through the proper IUPUI installation procedures.
We cannot be responsible for activating or servicing any data jacks
that have been installed by the user or outside contractor. Further,
the data jack must be located in the same room as the device that is
connected to it.
100 Mbps to the desktop
In IUPUI buildings with the available equipment, users can request
to have their data connection upgraded to 100Mbps, Fast Ethernet. Additional
100Mbps connections, that would exceed the availability of spare ports,
will either be provided by UITS as a part of our scheduled equipment
replacement plans or at the expense of the department if no immediate
plans exist. An additional expense will be incurred if user's data-jack
is not of Category 5 quality.
1000 Mbps to the desktop
In special circumstances, users may request to have their data connection
upgraded to 1000Mbps. UITS will take these requests on a case by case basis.
Once a request has been made, UITS will thouroughly examine the needs of the
requestor and determine whether gigabit is necessary. If it is determined that
a gig connection is warranted, then the requester will need to assume the costs
of the upgrade if the equipment is not in place for the upgrade. There will be no
equipment cost if spare ports are available. Additionally, the user's data jack and station cable must
be of Category 6 quality. Contacting commreq@iu.edu will initiate a needs
accessing site visit.
