Visitors can (and do) have Internet access by plugging into our network. Computers need to be configured for DHCP. If you do not use DHCP, your computer will need to set for this and rebooted so that you can obtain an IP address from our server and so that you can route properly. You will also need to turn off any proxy settings that you might have so that you can route directly to the Internet.

Visitors are not allowed to create VPN tunnels between their computer when connected to our network and their office network. This would be a security problem since it would allow their office to gain access to our network (as well as all of internal Emerson). In this case, you must use dial-up access to create the VPN tunnel between your computer and their office. This is the same way the VPN software works for Kato employees that travel to other corporate offices outside of Emerson.

If you are the local administrator of your computer, we can set up your systems to print to our printers directly. Most of the HP printer drivers are standard and should already be on your machine. If you are not the local administrators of your machine, we are not allowed to add our printers to your computer. Instead we would need to provide you a username and password into our network so that you can print through our print server. In which case, it would be better to electronically transmit the file that needs printing to a system that is already on our network so that it can be printed from there.
