Visitor network instructions
The visitor network has been set up to enable our visitors' access to
the Internet. The government computer security policies do not allow
connecting non-NIST network equipment to the internal government
networks, so we set up a special, protected network that allows access
to the Internet outside of NIST, while cutting off access to the inside
of NIST. The short-term visitor machines can be connected to the network
only in designated visitor areas, as per instructions
distributed with other visitor intake paperwork. Visitors are
required to maintain current OS patches and virus definitions on their
machines.
To enable retrieving current NCNR data from the visitor network, one
computer, charlotte.ncnr.nist.gov (AKA www-i.ncnr.nist.gov) has been
specifically made reachable from the visitor network. It exports
Windows shares and FTP services with the current data files.
