Campus Network: New Mexico Tech

Standard Network Connection (a.k.a. Academic Connection or Network Connection)

This is the normal network connection nearly everyone on the campus uses.  This provides
a single IP address and should only connect a single network host.  Each machine gains
access to the Internet service as a single client fair-share portion. Fair-share portions
are provided as an equal share of available fair-share bandwidth based on IP the address
assigned.

Administrative Network Connection (a.k.a. Admin Network Connection)

This Admin Network connection provides all the features of the Standard Network Connection
as well as access to specific Admin Network services.  These services include firewall
protection, MS Office, Anti-Virus Software, E-Mail with SPAM protection, and other
access to restricted administrative services. 

Not every client has access to this service.  Only clients with an approved, demonstrable
need who are in a location where the Admin Network can reasonably deployed will be
provided an Admin Network port.

End-User Equipment Connection (a.k.a. NETEU)

Some organizations that occupy single tenant buildings have opted to install networking
and provide ongoing infrastructure support on their own.  This allows them to pay
a lower ongoing per machine rate while maintaining their portion of the Internet fair
share bandwidth for the machine. All infrastructure support is provided by ITC as
a time and materials basis, but no infrastructure upgrades are provided by ITC.

Direct Connect Model

Some organizations that occupy single-tenant buildings have opted-out of fair-share
Internet delivery and purchase a set amount of Internet bandwidth instead.  Bandwidth
is purchased in 1 Mbit, 5 Mbit, and 10 Mbit blocks (1Mbit minimum) and priced at the
opportunity cost (not based on usage). This billing model is also available in some multi-tenant
buildings for an initial install fee and ongoing monthly charges. For a quote on this
service, contact the Help Desk and submit a work order.
