Connect to Data Network (Install and Activate New Connection/Cable or Activate Existing Cable)

 Use the Connect to Data Network form in the Service Catalog when you want to:

• Install and activate a new data connection/cable; or
• Activate an existing data connection/cable

If you are requesting more than one connection, fill out this spreadsheet and attach it to the request.

To view the status of existing cables installed in your location, go to the 'Cables' lookup page on the left-navigation. The page can display cables already in use (connected) as well as those unconnected (and available for use). See KBT0012570 for instructions on how to view cables.

What is provided with each new data connection:

• 1 Gb/s network connection.  This is the standard offering at all campus locations.  
• A dynamic IP address and hostname.  Dynamic IP’s are sufficient for most workstations and devices; a fixed DHCP address can be requested if you are planning to connect a host, such as a printer or server.
• Station cable (data jack), if not already in place.

Cost: If station cabling is needed, there will be a one-time charge to install the data jack.  The station cable (aka 'premise wiring') runs between the telecommunications wiring closet and the wall jack.  There are no other costs for this service.
