Wired Networks at the Mesa Lab

Each office has at least one dedicated 1Gb link to the CGD wired network. This network is only for CGD owned and maintained systems. Personal systems plugged into this network will be trapped and unable to browse anywhere or connect to any resources, either inside or outside of the lab.

On request, CGD can also provide you with a wired connection on the Guest network which will allow you connect to resources outside the lab, or, with the VPN client installed on your personal device, you may also connect to resources inside the lab. For more details on the VPN client, please see the following:
