Internet Access
Short-term/Workshop Visitors
For attendees of ICERM workshops and other short-term visits of less than two weeks, the Brown-Guest wireless network is available for use without a password. Please be aware that Brown’s guest wireless network is unencrypted and bandwidth is limited. You cannot access library resources and some other Brown resources using Brown-Guest, and some types of traffic are restricted.
The eduroam network is also available here at ICERM. Participants must set up eduroam first through their home institutions in order to use it at ICERM and other Brown facilities.
Long-term/Semester Visitors
All long-term visitors who will be at ICERM for at least two weeks are provided with a Brown account and ID card. Along with access to various Brown University services, this Brown user account will provide you with access to Brown's secure wireless network Brown. See the Wireless Access page for step-by-step setup instructions.
Printing & Scanning
Public Printing Terminals
Printing is available for visitors from the IGEL thin client terminals by the reception desk on the 11th floor and across from the 10th floor classroom. The thin clients will allow you to print from any website or from a USB drive. Basic instructions for using the thin clients are available in the IGEL Thin Clients section of this wiki.
Printing from your Laptop
ICERM's three public printers are also enabled for wireless printing and are accessible from the Brown, Brown-Guest, and eduroam wireless networks. Detailed information about our printers and their locations and capabilities are available on the Printing at ICERM page. In addition, operating system specific instructions are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Scanning
The ICERM copy machine (located behind the reception desk) is a multi-function copier that's able to scan papers to PDF and email them directly to you. Feel free to ask any staff for assistance with using the scanner.
Computing Resources
High-Performance Computing
Long-term visitors to ICERM are provided with an exploratory account on the Oscar high performance computing cluster maintained by Brown's Center for Computation and Visualization. Oscar access may also be provided to short-term visitors on a case-by-case basis with justification and advance notice. See the Oscar High-Performance Computing Cluster (HPC) section of this site for details on how to use Oscar.
