NYLS TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS 

Welcome or Welcome Back to All!  

Here are some highlights of the technology available to you at NYLS:

 

Wireless Network 

The wireless network signal name is NYLSSecure. This network is continually being updated to provide you a secure wireless network experience.  When a laptop user accesses the network, you will be prompted to enter your NYLS network ID and password.  At that time, a software client for Clean Access will be installed (this only occurs the first time you log in).  Clean Access then checks your laptop for the most recent Windows security patches and Anti-Virus software and data files.  Non-Windows operating systems will NOT be checked for patches and anti-virus.  Those users will be able to log in and gain immediate access to the network.

 

If the Windows laptop is not up-to-date in either security patches or anti-virus, it is put into a quarantine area from which you can download the required software.  Students who do not have anti-virus software can download a student McAfee license provided FREE by NYLS.  Once a laptop is up-to-date, it will be granted access to the network.  Each time you log into the network, this authentication check will be done, so please keep your software up-to-date.

 

This process will not only enable easier ongoing access to the network, but will also keep it more secure and less vulnerable to viruses.  For more information, go to Wireless Computing.

EZInfo is a secure site that uses SSL encryption, which ensures that all data being transmitted between the web browser and the web site is encrypted.  To access EZInfo go to   http://old.nyls.edu/ezinfo where you can login with your Student ID and PIN.  

Alumni NetConnect

The Administrative system used by the Office of Development and Alumni Relations has a web interface for all alumni, Alumni NetConnect.  This system enables all students to retain the use of their NYLS email account after graduation by forwarding their email to an alumni account and then, in turn, to a personal email account of their choice. 

 

Infrastructure Upgrades

Important infrastructure changes are continually being made behind-the-scenes to technology at NYLS.  The school has once again greatly increased bandwidth to the Internet and the wireless network has been expanded throughout the campus.  Most recently, the  NYLS dorm had wireless networking access expanded throughout the entire building.

 

Remote desktop management

Altiris, a remote desktop management tool enables OIT to easily push out security patches and software updates, facilitate the PC rollout process and manage the school’s computer inventory.  Most importantly, it enables OIT to remotely access any NYLS-owned computer, when the user grants it, to troubleshoot problems remotely.  This allows OIT staff to see the same thing the user sees while the problem is occurring thus speeding up troubleshooting and training. 

 

We hope you’ll be pleased with your computing resources at NYLS .  As always, if you have any questions or concerns with any technology at NYLS, please contact the OIT Central Help Desk via phone at x2316 (on campus) 866 306-2769 (off campus) or stop by the On Site Help Desk.  The On Site Help Desk is located just off the Student Lounge in the Lower Level of the C building
