Wireless Local Area Networking at DESY in Zeuthen
1. Guest Networks
1.1 "DESY guest" - 5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 6, OWE encrypted
1.2 "DESY guest legacy" - 2,5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 4 , unencrypted
1.3 "eduroam" - 5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 6
1.3.1 "eduroam legacy" - 2,5 Ghz
2. "DESY" internal Network
2.1 "DESY IoT" internal network - 2,5 Ghz
Currently supported WLAN standards are 802.11n/ac/ax with a bandwidth of up to 1.250 Mbps.
The wireless network at Zeuthen is nearly available on the whole campus.
The network interface of the device has to have DHCP enabled to get automatically an IP address.
DESY employees are strongly advised to use "DESY" with their company-owned devices and "eduroam" for all other devices.
The installation or operation of private WLAN-SSIDs or access points or the use of WLAN-SSIDs or access points for unauthorised experiments is not permitted.
If you have problems to connect to DESY-WLANs (e.g. because of received signal quality is to low) please contact UCO (uco-zn@desy.de).
The guest SSIDs are mainly provided for guests staying at DESY for a short time. The access rights basically correspond to those of anonymous external hosts.
1.1 "DESY guest" - 5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 6 , OWE encrypted
To use this wireless network no registration is necessary. Connect, accept the terms and conditions page an go on.
1.2 "DESY guest legacy" - 2,5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 4 , unencrypted
To use this wireless network no registration is necessary. Connect, accept the terms and conditions page an go on.
This network is intended for older devices with compatibility problems. For stability and security reasons, try to use the "Guest premium" or "eduroam" network.
Remark:
It has to be mentioned that any usage of wireless LAN SSID guest the data transfer is unencrypted thus any other WLAN-User can capture the data stream. This means that i.g. passwords are easily visible and can only be avoided by using secure protocols like ssh or VPN.
1.3 "eduroam" - 5 Ghz, Wi-Fi 6
This wireless network can be used by guests whose home institutes offer service eduroam and by DESY employees as well. Here you will find detailed information about eduroam at DESY.
For authentication 802.11x technology is used. The data transfer is encrypted with WPA2 algorithm.
Important note: eduroam switches the login process to certificates. This already works at DESY. Find out more about this at www.easyroam.de
1.3.1 "eduroam legacy" - 2,5 Ghz
This network is intended for older devices with compatibility problems. For stability and security reasons, try to use the SSID "eduroam". The login credentials are the same than in "eduroam".
The DESY Computer Security Council (RSR) issued a set of rules and recommendations to be followed by anyone operating computers attached to the DESY internal network.
To use this wireless network it is necessary to activate the WIFI resource by UCO.
For this please contact (uco-zn@desy.de).
