Wireless

CSAIL does not maintain a wireless network in Building 45. The wireless network in all of building 45 is MIT’s campus-wide computer network MITnet. MIT Secure is the preferred wireless network for members of the entire MIT community. Log in via your MIT Kerberos account.

Migrating Workstations to the new building

If your device is running Linux, and is currently in Stata, you can run the following from a command line:

curl https://pxe.csail.mit.edu/cgi-bin/host-migrate.cgi

After the script has run your machine will be migrated. You can simply connect your machine to the building 45 network.

If you’ve already moved to the new building and want to migrate a machine, send the hostname of the machine to help@csail.mit.edu, and we’ll migrate it for you.

If you are registering a new machine in building 45, follow the standard host registration steps at https://tig.csail.mit.edu/operating-systems/csail-linux/linux-install/ making sure to select the Building 45 subnet in WebDNS.

• Changing Address/New Shipping Address For CSAIL Members Who Moved: Here are instructions on how to change your MIT office location.  It is very important to update this so it will show properly in the MIT directory. https://computing.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/SCC-Bldg-45-How-to-Change-Your-Location.pdf You should also change any physical mail subscription services to reflect your new MIT address as there is not a mail forwarding option at MIT.

It is critical to make sure mail and packages are addressed correctly for them to make it over to Building 45. Please see the example below..

Controlled Outlets

A number of the electrical outlets in Building 45 are controlled outlets. These outlets stay on during the hours of 6:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays. Outside of these hours, when sensors detect a space unoccupied for a period, the controlled outlets in the spaces will go off. The controlled outlets can be identified by the word “CONTROLLED” and the universal power icon on each outlet.

Centralized waste management system

The college will be adopting a centralized waste management system, as part of MIT’s goal of reducing waste stream contamination. The following floor plan shows the locations for the waste collection bins. Please note that all individuals are welcome to bring in their own waste bins, however, it is each person’s responsibility to dispose of their waste into the centralized bins on a daily basis.
