If you have problems making the connection or if there are other problems of a physical nature (defective socket, defective cable) you can make a ticket using the ticket system.
To log in, each student will use their own institutional account (the one used to access Gmail, Meet, Team, etc.) and its related password.
For the first use, we need to create a PPPoE connection. On future logins, we will no longer need to follow the steps to create the connection, because we can use the one already created.
Create a PPPoE connection
Windows
Step 1: Open ,,Control Panel” (Fig. 1).
Step 2: Access category ,,Network and Internet” (Fig. 2).
Step 3: Select option ,,Network and Sharing Center” (Fig. 3).
Step 4: Create a new connection by accessing the option ,,Set up a new connection or network” (Fig. 4).
Step 5: Select ,,Connect to the Internet" and then press Next (Fig. 5).
Step 6: Select ,,Broadband (PPPoE)” (Fig. 6).
Step 7: We need to enter the institutional account login data. In the field "User name" the institutional address must be entered (for example: firstname-surname.lastname@student.tuiasi.ro), in the field ,,Password" we enter the password of the account, and in the field ,,Connection name" we add the name we want to call the connection. We can check the box for the option ,,Remember this password" so that we don't have to enter the password every time we try to connect (Fig. 7).
macOS
Step 1: Open Apple menu > System Preferences (Fig. 8).
Step 2: Select category ,,Network” (Fig. 9).
Step 3: We create a new connection by pressing the button "+” (Fig. 10).
Step 4: Select from the field "Interface" the PPPoE option and in the field "Service Name" we can enter a name for the connection (Fig. 11).
Step 5: We select the connection created in the previous step, and enter the data from the institutional account. In the field "Account Name" the institutional address must be entered (for example: firstname-surname.lastname@student.tuiasi.ro), and in the field ,,Password" enter the password.
After entering the data, we must check the option "Show PPPoE status in menu bar". In order to not enter the password every time we connect, we must also check the option "Remember the password”.
At the end of the configuration, press the button "Apply” (Fig. 12).
