Event: Cyber Cafe

The Cyber Cafe will open at the beginning of the morning coffee break and close after the evening poster sessions. In addition to computers, there will be open lines for your laptops. There will also be an open area with wireless connectivity. Please be advised to access the wireless internet users, laptops need to have their own wireless cards and users should review the connection process with their system administrators. In order to provide continuous network connectivity to all of our attendees and exhibitors, we will ask you to adhere to the following rules.

  • If there is a waiting line for computers, please limit your time to 15 minutes.
  • All attached devices will be required to be running the most up-to-date Virus Protection Software and Virus Definitions, IP Filtering, Anti-Ad and Anti-Spyware Software.
  • We recommend turning off automatic updates to your operating system, this will prevent bottlenecks in the network.
  • No device should be running as a server for offsite clients.
  • Absolutely no routers can be attached to the network without prior authorization from the AAS IT Staff.

The network will be monitored throughout the meeting and the AAS Staff reserves the right to disconnect any device that is causing overall network problems.

Organizer: Scott Idem (American Astronomical Society).
