Network access

You can find a detailed overview and instructions on our network access (via cable, eduroam, ...) below.

Accessing the network from an office

There are tethered network connections in non-public offices that can be used by staff to directly access the network. Depending on the building and the university unit, the access points will direct you to a specific subnetwork of the university’s intranet.

Need more network cables? Please contact ZIM support.
