    Team,

    Please send your laptop MAC Address to Csetényi as he instructs below.

    Csetényi,

    We plan to use (8) laptops during the demo. It is not possible to use only (1), because of the diversity of operating systems, and software. The access to the Internet is critical for all. We found the Wi-Fi signal too weak and unreliable in our tests yesterday, and that is why we are asking for Ethernet LAN support to the Internet. We will begin our  rehearsal at 15.20 hrs. today, and hope to meet you at that time.

    Thank you for your support,

    /don

    Dear Don!

    If you want to use the ethernet cable connection, we have to send the laptops MAC Address to the CEU. Please, send me the MAC Address of the laptops. How many computers do you want to use at the same time?

    The wireless network in TIGY is password protected. The network name is tha same laptop_area and the password is nador11access. The audience can also access to the wireless network. I'm going to test the wifi in this morning.

    Best regards,

    Hello Peter and Jerry,

    I apologize for sending email at this hour. A good number of the ODF Interop team assembled in TIGY at CEU, Nador 11 this afternoon at the time you allocated for us (17.20 hrs.) We very determined that the internet service is not adequate in its current state.

    Therefore, we ask for your urgent attention to resolve these requests.

    Specifically:


       1. the Ethernet cable connection be opened up to permit access to the Internet. The ports are currently blocked. This is very important. For example, the IBM portion of the demonstration must be able to easily access the internet, the use VPN tunnel to access servers inside IBM. Other presenters have similar requirements. The current connection is blocked. (...the wi-fi is too weak, so we are choosing to depend on the Ethernet connection therefore we request: We tried the Wi-fi in Nador 11 and found the signal too weak and unreliable. It dropped frequently. We determined it is not adequate to support the demonstrations as a result.)
       2. a router be provided; if a router is not available, will CEU permit us to provide one? We need to streamline the number of laptops that must be connected at the same time to the internet.
       3. (2) power strips to enable us to plug in to the electricity
       4. fresh markers for the white board (the markers in the room were nearly exhausted); we can purchase new markers, if you wish. Please advise me tomorrow.

    We have (8) demonstrators who need to step to the podium and deliver a their brief presentation and demonstration, one after the other with a minimum of disruption. This is why we are asking for the router.

    We thank you for your urgent attention to these requests. Without your support we will not succeed with our demonstration(s).

    Best regards,

    /don
