Communication Jacks
 Each dorm room is equipped with one data jack per
resident student. Upon his or her arrival on campus each student will
be issued documentation explaining the available functions and services
that the Network and Communications area offers. The data jack will
connect students to the University data bases and web connections.
This
service is included in the room and board for each student. There is no
need for a student to have an outside email account or off campus
Internet provider. If they choose to connect to outside services they
are responsible for all charges associated with that service.
Dorm Room
Connections
All dorm rooms on campus are equipped with Ethernet
connections. The data ports are located on the right side of the quad
box that is in the dorm. If the data inserts are black thy\\n you must
use a GRAY Ethernet cable. If the insert is GREEN then you must use a
green Ethernet cable. You can tell if there is a link by looking at the
Ethernet card in your computer and seeing if there are lights on and
blinking. If not, the contact either the Student Support Center or call
the Help Desk at 610-619-7777.
Cables can be purchased at the Student
Support Center if needed. If you bring a cable from home chances are
that it will not work in your dorm rooms. The gray cables at Villanova
are different from the gray cables that can be purchased from other
computer stores. So make sure you have the right cable.
