Trinity network connections for Fellows, Other Senior Members and Students

Wired Trinity Connections (College accommodation/office occupants)

All Fellow’s and student’s rooms in College have access to a wireless point or computer network point (an ethernet socket) that can be used to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. A wired connection will be more reliable and provide a better connection speed than a wireless connection. Some devices may require an Ethernet adapter in order to make use of the wired network.

Registering from the device you want to add to the network:

What you will need:

• To have your University Account Login (formerly known as Raven) and have the details of this ready
• To have a device that can connect to networks using an ethernet cable (and adapter if applicable)
• To have located the Ethernet port in your College room
• To have an Ethernet cable that is under 5 meters long
• To have read all the Policies and Terms & Conditions of connection to the College Network (also available on the initial connection portal)

How to Connect:

1. Find the Ethernet port in your room
2. Plug the Ethernet cable into the ethernet port in your room
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the ethernet port on your device directly or with an adapter if required (which must be purchased at your own cost)
4. After a few seconds, your device should prompt you to log into the network
5. Click ‘Login to network’ to open the login page in your device’s preferred browser
6. Select ‘Raven Login’ and provide your raven credentials when prompted
7. Click Login
8. Unplug the ethernet cable from your device, wait 10 seconds and reconnect the cable to the device
