In Brief
SOM to hold Basic Science Town Meeting on
Friday
The next Basic Science Town Meeting with Edward D. Miller,
dean of the School of Medicine and CEO of Johns Hopkins
Medicine, and Chi Van Dang, vice dean for research in the
School of Medicine, will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. on
Friday, Jan. 9, in 612 Physiology, East Baltimore campus.
The agenda will include "IBBS Initiatives: Identification
and Implementation."
Homewood wireless computer network to have ID
changed
The primary identification name for the wireless computing
network at the Homewood campus will change from "jhmiradio"
to "standard" no later than Jan. 26, the beginning of
spring semester classes.
This change could affect the connectivity of any networked
wireless device, such as a laptop, handheld or PDA.
The newer "standard" wireless network, introduced by the
Johns Hopkins Network
Services group during the fall 2003 semester, has
enhanced security features, according to Calvin Sproul,
manager of network architecture and design.
During the winter break, "standard" will become the primary
means to connect to the wireless network on the Homewood
campus. The "jhmiradio" broadcast name will remain active
but will be relegated to secondary status until it is
retired for the fall 2004 semester.
Anyone having problems connecting to "jhmiradio" after the
switch takes place should configure his or her wireless
device for the "standard" network. For instructions to make
this change, go to
it.jhu.edu/divisions/nts/networking/dataservices/
wireless/index.html.
