Appendix F: Methods of Connecting to EIES
On the NJIT Campus:
You may use any of the many terminals or PC’s on the NJIT campus to connect to EIES® from the public labs or library. These connections offer high speed and easy access. From the "Local>" prompt, type "c eies" or "c vc" and press <enter> to get to the "login:" prompt. At that point you can enter your user ID number followed by your password for access to EIES®.
Direct Dial:
You can conect to EIES® from virtually anywhere in the world, provided you have access to a PC and modem connected to a phone line. Using any communications software you choose, and your modem, you can dial into the NJIT Newark campus network to connect to EIES®. The telephone numbers for the NJIT campus network are available on the "Access EIES® via Direct Dial" information sheet.
Internet (Telnet or rlogin):
If you already have access to an Internet account at some other location, you may be able to connect to EIES® via the Internet using a utility called "telnet" or "rlogin", depending on what your local system allows. From your Internet account, you may "telnet" or "rlogin" to "eies.njit.edu", or, if your system does not have an up-to-date nameserver, our numeric address is "128.235.251.164" (NOTE: The numeric address is subject to change). Please contact your local system administrator to see if either of those options are available for your use. See the "Connecting to EIES® via Internet" instruction sheet for further details.
A Local Internet Access Provider:
Access to the Internet is most likely available to you via a local telephone call through an "Internet access provider". To locate an Internet provider in your area, read the Internet Service Providers page which is available via the NJIT Web hompage. To get to the Internet providers page, go to the NJIT homepage (http://www.njit.edu), then click on Navigating the Net, and finally click on Internet Service Providers. You can also access this page via EIES®. Type +lynx from anywhere on EIES®. You will be taken to the CCCC homepage via the lynx browser. The Internet providers page is listed on the second screen. Additionally, you may be able to find advertisements for Internet access providers in most computer magazines
