Videoconferencing Rooms

The university videoconferencing rooms usually used with Access Grid or EVO software are:

  • KB.15 seats up to eight and is booked through TTG.
  • G1.15 seats up to thirty (twenty for conference participation) and is booked through the Computer Science office. Unlike the other two, this room is laid out as a seminar room.
  • SG.15 can seat rather more, and is booked through TTG. An official launch for this new venue is planned for December.

Desktop Videoconferencing Support

Support for desktop videoconferencing using the free EVO service is now available from local IT support staff for staff in

  • Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
  • School of Computing & Mathematical Sciences
  • School of Education
  • School of Science and Engineering
  • Waikato Law School

The university distinguishes between dynamically allocated IP addresses, which are not permitted direct access outside the university, and statically allocated addresses. A statically-allocated address is needed for desktop videoconferencing.

Traffic Count

Traffic from KAREN into the university in October:890GB
Traffic outgoing:630GB

Of the incoming traffic, 110GB was Access Grid, 4GB was IPv6.

Despite the usual seasonal exodus of students, traffic across KAREN seems to be up in November, mainly because of work connected with the WITS archive.

IPv6 Deployment

Staff in the departments of Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics (and some in the Information and Technology Services Division) now have Internet Protocol version 6 access to KAREN. This is a result of continuing work by ITS, aided by the WAND research group, to ensure that the university's network infrastructure is capable of supporting a future migration to IPv6.
