It is where the network cables terminate and stay resident (Old DOS
programmers will get the joke :).

<tp>

I think that you will find that TSR is a few decades older than DOS; you
may be showing your youth:-)

Hello,

Please note that this terminal room has no terminals[...]


In the interest of sanity, and in a continuing quest to kill all
oxymorons,
we should really not call it a terminal room then.

As an hommage to John Backus, the "Non-Terminal Room" comes to mind.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter


, PCs, or other user-accessible machines. It is simply a place to get
power,
wired Internet access, help desk support, or print documents.

When using the Ethernet connections in the Terminal Room, IPv4
addressing is
provided via DHCP. Please use Dynamic Auto-configuration for IPv6. A
stateless DHCPv6 server or RDNSS will provide network information. To
cut
down on the mess, ethernet cables have not been installed to every
seat in
the Terminal Room. If you need a cable, please ask at the Help Desk.

Please note that at the request of the IETF Chair, demonstrations are
no
longer permitted in the Terminal Room.

=== Help Desk ===
A help desk is being provided and will be staffed the following hours:

|| Sunday       || 16:00 to 19:00 ||
|| Monday       ||  8:00 to 20:00 ||
|| Tuesday      ||  8:00 to 18:00 ||
|| Wednesday ||  8:00 to 20:00 ||
|| Thursday     ||  8:00 to 20:00 ||
|| Friday          ||  8:00 to 15:00 ||

== NOC and Ticketing ==

There are several ways to communicate with the NOC staff.
* Submit a new trouble ticket via the
http://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/newticket interface. Filling in the
following fields: "My MAC Address", "My Current Location", and "My OS"
may
expedite ticket processing. If you have an existing account on
http://tools.ietf.org you can use your established credentials (email
address and tools password) to log in at
http://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/login .
* Send an email to tickets(_at_)meeting(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org with as much 
detail
regarding
your issue and configuration as possible.
* If you're on site and need direct network assistance (i.e - you have
no
network) please go to the helpdesk, which is located in the Terminal
Room.
* Use the Jabber room at noc @ jabber.ietf.org to report issues or
communicate with the NOC.

You can also use trac to review outstanding tickets before reporting
an
issue or to update outstanding tickets.

=== External Connectivity ===

The IETF 93 network connects to the Internet via a 10Gb/s link
provided by
CZ.NIC and a 1Gb/s link from Dial Telecom. The IETF uses
31.133.128.0/18,
31.130.224.0/20 and 130.129.0.0/16 for IPv4 and 2001:67c:1230::/46,
2001:67c:370::/48 and 2001:df8::/32 for IPv6. We are supplying
bandwidth for
the conference space, as well as wireless and wired connections in the
guest
rooms.

== Meeting Room Wireless ==

An 802.11 a/g/n/ac wireless network is provided throughout the venue
on both
the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, in conjunction with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
options.

The main “ietf” wireless network is now encrypted; when prompted for
credentials, enter ietf for both the username and password.

Here’s a quick summary of the new network layout:


|| SSID             || Description
|| Encrypted || Frequencies  || IP Versions                     ||
|| ietf                || Our default network
|| yes           || 5Ghz only      || v4 and v6
||
|| ietf-legacy     || For legacy and unencrypted use
|| no             || 2.4 and 5Ghz || v4 and v6
||
|| ietf-2.4ONLY || An encrypted network for 2.4Ghz users
||
yes           || 2.4Ghz only    || v4 and v6                       ||
|| ietf-v6ONLY  || For users wanting a pure IPv6
|| yes           || 5Ghz only      || v6 only
||
|| ietf-nat64       || IPv6 stack with NAT64 to access IPv4 resources
|| yes
|| 5Ghz only      || v6 with NAT64 & DNS64 ||
|| eduroam       || educational users
|| yes           || 2.4 and 5Ghz || v4 and v6
||

All networks marked as encrypted will offer layer 2 security. This is
done
using WPA enterprise with 802.1X (PEAP or TTLS) authentication and AES
or
TKIP encryption. As usual, we are all using the same credentials (user
“ietf”, password “ietf”), yet each user will get unique session
encryption
keys. Our Radius authentication servers use a certificate that you can
verify by going to this page:
https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/92net

See the following archived email from Chris Elliot for an in-depth
explanation of the changes made to the wireless configuration.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/92all/current/msg00009.html

Note: Some users are having problems using Intel Centrino cards and
the IETF
network. Please see
https://tickets.meeting.ietf.org/wiki/CentrinoIssue

== Guest Room Access ==

The IETF Network is being extended to the guest rooms in the Hilton.
*Note*
that while we are using the IETF meeting network for Internet
connectivity,
we are using the hotel's infrastructure (Ruckus access points) for the
delivery to the guest rooms, so there are limits to the improvements
we can
effect.  We recommend using the wired connection if you experience
poor
connectivity in your guest room.

Wired:
IPv4 and IPv6 and provided via the wired connection in your room. Due
to
architectural limitations, inbound TCP connections from the Internet
may not
be available on the in-room wired connection.

Wireless:
In the guest room areas you should find the “ietf-hotel” SSID.  This
network is 2.4GHz/5GHz and is being delivered via the Hilton's Ruckus
access
points. We encourage heavy users and/or those having poor coverage to
use
the wired connection.

== Support ==

If you have trouble using any of the Public or Guest Room services,
please
try to switch to the hotel SSIDs ("hhonors") or the hotel wired port.
If
that doesn’t work, please contact the Hilton support as listed in your
room.
If things are working fine on the hotel offerings but not on the IETF
SSIDs/ports, please do contact us in the Terminal Room (Amsterdam) or
via
tickets @ meeting.ietf.org  and we’ll be glad to help!


== Printing ==

There is a printer in the Terminal Room and is available to all IETF
users.
The printer is an HP Officejet Pro 8620 and is accessible via LPD,
Bonjour,
standard TCP/IP on port 9100.  The hostname for it is
term-printer.meeting.ietf.org.

Suggestions/assistance is welcomed.

== MAC Privacy @IETF93 ==


After doing MAC Privacy trials at IETF91 in Honolulu and IETF92 in
Dallas,
we are transitioning to this being a standard service on the IETF
network.
It will operate on the all the IETF meeting networks, so no special
SSID
will be broadcast. Users participating in the service will be assigned
a
shorter DHCP lease. Note that this time there is also support for some
mobile devices.

Instructions and tools to automatically randomize the MAC address used
by
the Wi-Fi interface of your device can be found (for several OSes) at:

 *

== Thanks ==
The terminal room and IETF network are made possible by the generous
contributions by a number of companies and by the tireless efforts of
our
volunteer team. If you see any of these people in the halls, please be
sure
to thank them for all their work!
