Distribution
Products made available under the Novell/MHEC ALA may only be used by the participating
departments. Any redistribution of products to other departments, faculty, staff, or
students is not allowed except where explicitly designated. All products used or
distributed must be accounted for. If the Novell/MHEC ALA is discontinued, each department
will be responsible for either purchasing licenses for items used or discontinuing the use
of items covered by the Novell/MHEC ALA.Registration
Departments participating in the site license will be required to register with Computing
and Network Services (CNS). A department head can register his or her department in
writing by signing a letter agreeing to pay an annual fee based on the department's use of
the licensed products.
A primary contact will be identified to represent the department for auditing,
reporting, and support responsibilities. The primary contact must be a full-time
department employee who will be available to coordinate use of the products in the
department. A Web page listing registered departments and contacts will be publicly
available.
As LAN environments change, the departmental contact will keep CNS informed of changes in
their offering, (adding and discontinuing use of servers). Departments will be
audited yearly. The audit is simply an annual report on usage of licensed products
together with the total number of workstations, print servers, and file servers operated
by the department.
Campus network compliance
The campus infrastructure supports a variety of environments. Since many different
projects and initiatives share this infrastructure, any activities deemed to interfere
with it should be discontinued. As part of participation in the site license program,
departments are expected to comply with recommendations made by CNS staff.
Standards
A set of standards is being developed to define a structure for LAN implementation
at K-State. The use of a consistent implementation model provides a standard
appearance to varied LAN environments and aids in the ability for central support agencies
to provide assistance. The guidelines are intended to provide a base from which to
build a LAN environment. Adherence to these guidelines is encouraged. |
