Hints for new employees
Last Updated 3 years ago

  • Always use the worldwide available wireless network eduroam instead of public-unibe. The public-unibe network is only available in Bern and requires authentication via SMS and Wifi Vouchers (intended for guest access). The eduroam (education roaming) network is an international project (universities, private companies, etc.) with which you can use WLAN network infrastructure world wide for free by simply using your personal university campus account.
  • You can access the university network from everywhere using VPN on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and, iOS based devices. Also a web based solution for waking computers (Wake-on-LAN) is available.
  • The departments file server is titania.
  • Access your emails from everywhere and every computer with Outlook Web App.
  • Use the exchange protocol (ActiveSync) for synchronizing your email with Outlook, Apple Mail, iOS and Android and Windows Mobile in preference of manually configuring IMAP/SMTP settings. It will also synchronize the Calendar and Contacts with Exchange.
  • Everybody writing software shall take advantage of the departments Git revision control server. Writing software without using a revision control is really not recommended.
