Before You Begin
This guide
is intended to help students get connected to the CSU Hayward campus network.
After you set up your computer using this guide, you will be able to access
campus and internet electronic resources. You will need to spend approximately
one hour to set up your computer. Please note that this connection results in
restricted access to CSUH campus resources.
You will use your Personal Computer (PC - IBM
Clone), a modem that provides the communications link to another modem at CSUH,
and a telephone line from any location. You may have to pay for the telephone
call from your PC to the CSUH campus, depending on where your call originates.
Any long distance telephone charges that you incur due to your connection to
the CSUH campus network are solely your responsibility.
You have the option to use a commercial Internet
Service Provider (ISP) to gain full access to the Internet instead of dialing
into a CSUH computer that provides restricted access, however, these
instructions are for those who are not using an ISP. The setup on your PC will
vary, depending on which ISP you select. Caution: If you currently use a
commercial ISP, these procedures may create a conflict on your PC so you may
choose to keep your ISP instead of using the connection to CSUH.
The Cisco Remote Access Server requires a Login ID and Password.
Call the Help Desk at (510) 885-4357, Monday -
Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM, or email helpdesk@csuhayward.edu
if you need assistance to be sure that your PC is properly configured to
dial-up to the Cisco Server.
Configuration Requirements
Before you can connect to the CSUH computer, you need to be sure your PC is properly configured and that all necessary software is installed with proper settings or your dialup setup may not work. Depending on what versions of Windows XP you have installed on your PC, the screens may be different, however, the installation process and settings are the same. If you need assistance to be sure that your PC is properly configured, call the Help Desk at (510) 885-4357.

incoming phone calls will disconnect your computer connection from Cisco.
2. If necessary, unplug the cord from your phone
set and then plug it into the modem phone jack.
3. Turn on your computer and external modem (if
present). If you have an internal modem, it will turn on when your computer is
turned on.

connection signal. You will see a status message about verifying user name and
password. If at any time you see a message that the connection is terminated,
try restarting the connection process.
8. The first time you are connected, a message
displays with instructions on how to disconnect by double-clicking on the
dial-up icon in the taskbar. If you click on the box next to Do not show this dialog box in the future,
this window will not display the next time you make a connection.

with the speed of transmission and a clock timing the length of the connection.
To minimize the window, you can click on the OK button (or the Minimize box in the upper right corner, depending
on what version of Windows 95/98 is on your PC).
11. To open the window after
it has been minimized, double-click on the Connection
icon on the Task Bar.

Access Online Resources
When the communications programs have been properly
installed and setup, you will be able to connect to the Cisco Server and access
campus resources and internet electronic resources using your PC, modem, and
telephone line. Some of these campus resources include electronic mail,
listserv, library databases, campus servers, online discussion groups, and web
browsing using Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Please note that web browsing is restricted to CSUH
campus resources. For example, you will be able to go to the CSUH Main Web Page
at http://www.csuhayward.edu.
If you try to go to a site that is not a CSUH campus resource, Netscape will
give you a message that "there was no response and the server could be
down or is not responding", and Microsoft Internet Explorer will give you
a message that "the page cannot be displayed".
In order to get connected to some of these CSUH
resources, you may need to schedule an appointment with your PC coordinator for
an individual consultation. You may also need to request accounts on specific
campus servers. Call the Help Desk at (510) 885-4357 to assist you in getting
in contact with your PC coordinator.
