Connection Procedure for all computers

In order to initiate your connection to the network;

  • Plug your network cable into the computer and the other end into the unoccupied network socket in your room (normally labelled ??-A).

  • If you are newly arrived in college you should obtain your account details for all the centrally managed services. In order to get this information you can use the Computers in 4/10, (4/13 or the MCR computer for Graduates only), or the computers in the Library. Log on with the username ‘signup’ (with no password). You will be taken to a website where you will be prompted for your name, date of birth and admissions code (e.g. UCAS, BGS, GTTR numbers). Once you have successfully entered this information you will be given your Central Registration ID (CRSID) email, PWF and Raven account information. Your email address is <crsid>@cam.ac.uk which will be used for administrative communicationby the College. If you have any difficulties at this stage please contact the IT department located in Z8.

  • Start your computer, open your web browser and attempt to go to http://www.christs.cam.ac.uk. You will be presented with a registration page please select the student option which will allow you to enter your network registration account details. These consist of your CRSID  and a password which you can set once you have authenticated yourself via challenge questions or a text code sent to your mobile phone if the College has a record of it. You will then be taken through the terms and conditions for a connection and will be stepped through the automated process of registering and vetting your computer to allow full internet connectivity.
