Icon PlusUniversity Computer Center (HRZ)

The IT department (Hochschulrechenzentrum, shortened to HRZ) plans, manages, and maintains the infrastructure of electronic communication on campus. It supports students and employees at university with work-related hardware and software problems. It is responsible for the purchase of new hardware and software. It also grants internet access at Friedensau Adventist University which is, however, provided by the German National Research and Education Network (DFN) and their terms.

General information

Internet access: public Internet computers can be found in the university library and can be used during the opening hours of the library. Students can also access the Internet computers in the entrance hall of the library around the clock (entry via transponder).

Network usage: The rooms in the halls of residence are generally fitted with an Internet connection (LAN) which students can use with their computer if they are registered for use. It is also possible, once registered, to get access to the university network and the Internet by WLAN in certain hotspots. An application for use is provided at the day of registration. The application is part of the welcome package of the IT department.

Internet Port opening: Due to safety guidelines, there are port restrictions at FAU. All standard ports are open. Specialized, non-standardized web services are blocked and thus cannot be used (e.g. online games).

University email/email in general: the following email ports are used by FAU: SMTP 587 (port 25 is not used anymore) POP 3 995, and IMAP 993, incoming/outgoing mail server "mail.stud.thh-friedensau.de". Unfortunately, providers which only work via port 25 cannot be individually unblocked. Note: this only applies to sending/receiving email via email software. Sending and receiving via web access is not affected by these restrictions.

Alternative: use of data connections e.g. with personal mobile broadband sticks (reception quality: LTE). The required services are not used via the university network and are available according to the specifications of the provider.

Information for students

The IT department operates a number of specific servers, by which central services at FAU are provided. Among these services are university's email addresses, electronic campus administration, and file storage. The following services are especially important for you as a student:

  • CampusNet is the central student portal at Friedensau Adventist University. It grants you access to your grades and course outlines and enables you to get hold of your current timetables.
  • By the means of your personal student email address you will gain access to the latest academic news, and you will be able to get in touch with your lecturers and fellow students.
  • The IT department provides you with a broadband internet connection, through which you are able to do extensive research in whatever area of interest.

Information for guests

Friedensau Adventist University has its own WLAN network, which also may be used by guests. Currently, only specific places at FAU are part of the WLAN network. However, an expansion of the WLAN network is planned in future.

Hotspot ticket/WLAN access

    1. It is possible to get Internet access via a WLAN connection in various areas of the university.
    2. The hotspot tickets can be purchased in the guesthouse.
    3. After receiving of a hotspot ticket the user receives a code number which he uses as a LOGIN to get access.
    4. The hotspot ticket is valid for at least one year. The online time purchased can be used within this year.
    5. The connection only works if the notebook is fitted with the corresponding hardware and a driver.

Hotspots on campus

  • Aula (assembly hall) (MIC)
  • library
  • student hall of residence (CON)
  • guesthouse
  • teaching rooms (LÜP, MIC)
  • student centre (MEY)
  • convention centre (Mensa)

The IT department (HRZ) does not  provide support for personal computers of students. The IT department does not guarantee the continuation of its user related services. We do, however, make every effort to remedy disruptions as quickly as possible. Every user that has received LOGIN credentials to the university network automatically agrees to comply with the regulations for network access (LAN and WIRELESS). Any user who fails to comply risks to lose his/her access to the university network.

We recommend that users log out after every session. There is also an automatic log-out from the system after about 60 minutes.
