Connecting your notebook to the school network
It is important that you successfully connect your notebook to the school’s
admin network in order to complete the initial set-up of your notebook. Once
you have completed the set-up you will have access to a range of vital
services and functions including:
§
Automatic updates of applications on your notebook when they
become available.
§
Regular antivirus updates.
Follow these steps to connect your notebook to the network:
1. Connect the notebook to an admin network outlet at the school – the outlet and
the cable will be supplied by the school. Do not use the black modem cable that
came with your notebook as it is unsuitable for this purpose.
2. Ask your school's system administrator to login and 'join' your notebook to the
Admin domain. This will give you access to the school’s network and servers
and will also allow you to access the internet and e-mail while at school. If your
school's system administrator is not available, you can phone the Customer
Service Centre at the Department and ask for assistance:
9264 5555
(metropolitan) or
1800 012 828
(country).
3. Microsoft Outlook’s settings must be changed to match the personal information
stored in
Control Panel > Mail
. Ask your school's system administrator to set
this up for you.
4. Your school’s system administrator will also set up the Internet Explorer proxy
settings so that you can use the internet at school.
