Connecting Your Computer to the SMU Network
Related: Wireless Access
Before you begin, you must have...
Ethernet/Network adapter
For cable Internet. The adapter allows your computer to communicate with the Saint Mary's network. Most newer computers come with an ethernet adapter. You attach your patch cord to this port. Please note that while campus ports allow for 10, 100 and 1000base-T adapters, residence ports only accept 10base-T adapters.
Patch cord
A patch cord looks like a phone cord, but has a larger connector on the end. Plug one end into your network adapter and the other end into a data port on the wall. Patch cords can be purchased at the
Bookstore in the Student Centre.
