CASPI wiki access
Using the Inbound Proxy Server to access the CASPI Wiki from outside the University
You can access this wiki from off campus using the Inbound Proxy Server, which allows you remote login to the University's computer network. If you are successful in connecting to it, it will ask you for your email username and password, and if you supply the correct ones, will log you in and allow access.
The instructions for this can be found at Inbound Proxy Guide. This should work with any form of internet access including broadband and dialup connection through an external ISP.
ACSIS uses Mac computers, so the instructions below are specific to that. But there will be a simple equivalent process for PCs.
First set up a new network location:
Either -
Click on the apple symbol, top l/h corner of screen, click on ''Location'', click on ''Network Preferences''
Or
Go through ''Systems Preferences'', then ''Network''
In the Location box select ''New Location'' and create a new location, naming it, eg, as UoM Inbound Proxy.
Click on the ''Proxies'' button, set ''Configure Proxies'' to ''Using a PAC File''.
Enter: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/ibproxy.pac into the ''PAC File URL:'' box.
Click on the ''Apply Now'' button.
Configure your Browser for the above
If the above does not give you access and you are using a Browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or Netscape, you may also have to set the same configuration in the Browser preferences.
For example, in Firefox, go to 'Preferences' and click on the 'Network' tab, and then click on 'Settings'. Select the 'Automatic proxy configuration URL' and then fill in http://www.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/ibproxy.pac in the window provided.
Should you not want this setting to always be the one you use for your browser, it may be simplest to create a second user account on your computer with this setting set for that.

Still can't access it
For Dial-in Access refer http://www.studentit.unimelb.edu.au/itguide/facilities/isp.html We haven't used this, but it should still work.
ASK your Faculty/Department IT people for help if you are not sure.
