Ethernet port

2009-06-25T21:46:34Z

Skappel:

An '''ethernet port''', also known as an '''ethernet jack''', allows you to connect your computer to the internet via an [[Ethernet cord]]. It is much like a telephone jack but wider, and it carries data instead of voice. They are located in every student room and most office locations here at �鶹��Ƶ. They are usually found in the wall, near the floor.

==Troubleshooting==
If you are experiencing problems with your Ethernet port in your room, please try the following to troubleshoot your problem.

#See if you can connect by plugging into the other jack in the room with your current [[ethernet cable]]. '''If it works, your jack is bad.''' If it doesn't work, please continue.
#Use a different cord in your jack, and then your roommate's jack. '''If it works in your jack, it is time to throw your old [[ethernet cord]] away.''' If it doesn't work, please continue.
#If you think both jacks do not work in your room, try connecting in a neighbors room with your cable and a different one, if possible.

Otherwise, turn off the wireless connection and “enable” the network card settings on the computer and then reboot. That may help resolve the problem.

Energy Settings for Macintosh Users

2009-06-22T21:23:40Z

Skappel:

In attempts to reduce our energy consumption, we are hoping to implement some technological and behavior modifications to accomplish this goal.

==Computers and Monitors==
All computers and monitors should be shut off at night.
Settings for sleep or hibernation should be set at the shortest possible time (recommended 20 minutes).

==Verifying Your Energy Settings==
[[Image:Macenergy.gif|thumb|right|OS X Energy Saver System Preferences]]
# Open the System Preferences (Under the Apple Menu).
# Select the Energy Saver System Preference.
# Verify or adjust your settings.

==Why does my fan always run and why does my battery drain?==
Take a look at what's open in the dock. You can tell that a program is open and not just a shortcut by looking for a black triangle under the icon. Close unnecessary programs because they sometimes launch at the startup. Also, make sure you're not running anything like BOINC, or a Setiathome manager, since those can take 100% of your processor speed without you even knowing it.

E-mail alias

2009-06-22T21:20:52Z

Skappel:

An '''e-mail alias''' (or '''e-mail list''') is a special [[e-mail address]] used to send [[e-mail]] to a group of one or more e-mail addresses. An e-mail alias works by [[e-mail forwarding|forwarding]] the group e-mail to each individual address.

Previously, one had to use an [[SSH|ssh client]] like [[PuTTY]] to edit e-mail aliases at �鶹��Ƶ, but as of the summer of 2005, users should now use the web-based [https://gts.gac.edu/gts/tools/user/lists.php Mailing Lists Manager] to create and modify aliases.

==Creating an Alias==
# Go to [https://gts.gac.edu/gts/tools/user/lists.php Edit your e-mail lists]
# In "Create a List," type in the name of your desired list. The name can be anything, but is most often something descriptive of the group (i.e. chess-club).
# Under "Recipients," add the email addresses of all those you wish to be in the list. '''''If it is a �鶹��Ƶ email address, you only need to type in their username (jdoe). If it is an email address from another server, enter in the full address (jdoe@hotmail.com).'''''
# Add Administrators. Administrative privileges allow the user to edit the list.

==Mailman==
Some larger, official �鶹��Ƶ e-mail lists require advanced options, and use a different system called [[Mailman]]. If you believe you need such a list, please contact the [[Technology Helpline]] to discuss it further.

==Course e-mail aliases==
A list of e-mail aliases specifically for courses is available in the [[Gribly]].

Hardware

2009-06-11T17:21:20Z

Skappel: /* Faculty/Staff */

'''Hardware''' is the general term that is used to describe physical artifacts of a technology.

In computers, [[software]] is the counterpart of hardware.

==Examples==
* [[Ethernet card]]
* [[Hard drive]]
* [[Monitor]]
* [[Motherboard]]
* [[Printer]]
* [[RAM]]
* [[Scanner]]
* [[Wireless card]]

==Support==
===Students===
If a hardware problem is thought to be the issue for a non-functioning computer, Technology Services is unable to help. In this case we would refer them to the manufacturer of the computer.

There is also a group of students on campus who are willing to help when Technology Services is unable to. For more information, see the [[Freelance list]].

===Faculty/Staff===
All hardware problems of college-owned hardware are covered by Technology Services, and are considered a high priority, especially if the hardware is causing your computer not to start up.

If you are experiencing problems, contact x6111.

Cascade

Skappel:

A '''cascade''' is a process where a user gets a newer [[computer]] complete with the data from the old computer. The user's original computer is used to replace a lower-end system somewhere else on campus. Each system involved in the cascade is [[imaging|imaged]] and the older machine is backed up. The backed up hard drive is then saved for two-three months. Technology Services cascades both Macintosh and Windows machines for �鶹��Ƶ owned-machines only.

Carriage return

2009-06-11T15:17:40Z

Skappel:

A '''carriage return''' is the term for the result of hitting the "enter" or "return" key on a keyboard when creating text. The said result is a creation of a new line of text.

The term '''carriage return''' came from the actual carriage mechanism inside a typewriter. To hit the "enter" button and go on to a new line of text was to return the carriage to its original position.

Boot Camp

2009-06-11T14:50:11Z

Skappel:

[[Image:Bootcamp assistant20071016-1.gif|right]]
'''Boot Camp''' is a feature of [[Apple]]'s Leopard [[OS X]] operating system that allows a user to install [[Microsoft]]'s [[Windows XP]] or [[Windows Vista]] on a [[Macintosh]] computer. This allows the user to have both OS X and Windows installed on the same computer.

== Requirements for Running Boot Camp ==

To run Windows, the user must have a [[Macintosh]] desktop or laptop with an [[Intel]]-based processor. It is because of the [[Intel]] architecture of the Mac that allows for Windows to be run natively on the computer. Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) must also be installed before the use of '''Boot Camp'''.
