Home Work
 Topics may be assigned or chosen.
 Search for topics on the internet.
 Group search or individual searches.
 Email link to web source of your best info and a short
(50 words or more) description of your
understanding. not copied and pasted info., your original thoughts
Home Work: Why?
 Best way to learn is to do it.
 Students enter College with different level of
Computer skills.
 Research is what the internet was designed for.
 I am not all knowing and I want you to learn more
then I can teach.
 Learn how to verify information from the internet.
 Websites are important for professional growth.
RIT IT resources
 Take advantage of Virtual Resources
 Servers & computer labs
 Email and Web space
 Free dial up and Hi speed access
 SIS (Student Information System) and Library
system access (Electronic Resources)
RIT Network
 Two OC3 (155.52 Mbps) and one T3 (45 Mbps) connection
 Hi speed network using Ethernet
 Connection from on-campus (10 Mbps / 100 Mbps)
 RIT DialIP service
 connection from off-campus
 RIT’s modem pool has 312 modems that operate at a speed
of 56 Kbps.
 Wireless connection
 Wireless networking is enable in many campus buildings.
 You need wireless card (ex. Cisco 350, Apple Airport)
and your laptop
Servers
 OSFcluster - grace.rit.edu
 Unix server
 login with your DCE account
 has quota( user storage limit ) 10M
 your RIT personal home will be published in this server
 VMScluster - ritvax.rit.edu
 VAX machine running VMS, which is quite out of date
 login with your DCE account
 poor performance ( not recommended to use )
 VAX history: An interesting writing about the person
experience with VAX
http://www.webmythology.com/VAXhistory.htm
 ciasserv.rit.edu
 shared by CIAS students and faculty
 approaching this server via telnet is blocked. But can be
accessed by Appletalk protocol or Windows networking.
(R: drive )

hours.html
RIT Email System
RIT DCE account
 Setting up your RIT DCE (Distributed Computing
Environment) account
 ITS Help Desk (Gannett 1st. floor Room 1113)
 Change your password when you first logged
in. (Change it frequently for security)
Email Basic
 E-mail is the exchange of message between 2 computers (via a
network of computers, routers, servers, etc.)
 For 2 computers to communicate , they both need to be “awake”
(one computer cannot be switched off!)
Hence, mail is generally sent to a mail server which manages
the traffic of massages.
 To read the mail, a “user” needs an account on this server and
a “mail client ” (which can present the data to you in a friendly
fashion - Outlook, Netscape, Eudora)
EMail Protocol - SMTP
 SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
 a protocol for sending e-mail messages between
servers
 generally used to send messages from a mail
client to a mail server
 the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail
client using either POP or IMAP
EMail Protocol- POP
 POP (Post Office Protocol)
 a protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail
server.
 There are two versions of POP. The first, called
POP2, became a standard in the mid-80's and
requires SMTP to send messages. The newer
version, POP3, can be used with or without SMTP.
 Offline solution. You download all messages from
a receiving e-mail server computer to your
computer
EMail Protocol - IMAP
 IMAP ( Internet Message Access Protocol)
 A protocol for retrieving e-mail messages.
 Developed at Stanford University in 1986.
 The latest version, IMAP4
 online solution—you have to be connected to the
server to retrieve your mail
 The main advantage of IMAP is that you can
access the account from different locations and
different computers, since both new and saved
messages are left on the server.
Mail Client Configuration
 Incoming Mail Server Address
 mail server’s name or address.
 (mail.myserver.net, pop.myserver.com, or
imap.myserver.com)
 Username or Account ID
 username you’ve been assigned for your e-mail
account.
 Password.
 Outgoing Mail Server Address
 This is the server address for outgoing messages
 Usually SMTP server address of your ISP
Stanford University Email System
Mail Servers in RIT
 Exchange server - main mail server



Incoming mail server : mymail.rit.edu
Outgoing mail server : smtp-server.rit.edu
Outlook Web Access server : mymail.rit.edu

Quota (Storage limit) :20MB (30M for only incomming mail, 40M maximun)
 OSFmail server - old


IMAP (or IMAP4, IMAPv4; incoming e-mail) server: osfimap.rit.edu
SMTP (outgoing e-mail) server: osfmail.rit.edu
 VMSmail server - old

•
IMAP (or IMAP4, IMAPv4; incoming e-mail) server: vmsimap.rit.edu
SMTP (outgoing e-mail) server: vmsmail.rit.edu
Mail Client
 To retrieve your mail, you need email client, an
application which connects to server and request
your mail contents and display it.
 Webmail – read them using web browser
 Go to mymail.rit.edu to read your mail
 Microsoft Extourage, Apple Mail, Outlook, Netscape
Operating Systems(OS)
Operating System(OS)
 The most important program that runs on a computer, that
enables the computer to interact with the user and any
peripheral devices such as printers, disk drives, and monitors.
 Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which
other programs can run. Your choice of OS determines
applications that you can use.
 Command line interface & GUI (Graphic User Interface)




Windows XP home and pro, 2000, ME, 98, 95 dos.
Mac. OS X, OS 9(classic)
Unix proprietary like Irix, Sun.
Linux:Unix and it’s open source mutations like Red hat, Gnome.
Large Operating System
 Multi-user : Allows two or more users to run programs
at the same time. Some operating systems permit
hundreds or even thousands of concurrent users.
 Multiprocessing : Supports running a program on
more than one CPU.
 Multitasking : Allows more than one program to run
concurrently.
 Multithreading : Allows different parts of a single
program to run concurrently.
 Real time: Responds to input instantly
Mac OS X
Mac OS X
 Apple's flagship OS, now in its fourth major iteration, Mac OS X
10.3 "Panther”.
 Mac OS version in RIT Labs: 10.3.5 & 9.2.2
 Unix based (Server features)
- multitasking, dynamic RAM allocation, multithreading,
symmetrical multiprocessing, micro-kernal architecture.
 Classic compatibility
 GUI, Finder,Classic/Native mode, System Preference
Homework #1
 Search for information on the “invention of computer”
 Search for “standard organization” in relation to
computer industries.
