Today we heared with dismay about the death of our honorary member Eberhard Mittag. With his passing, we lose far too early a long-time pioneer of the Dresden Student Network and a central driver in the expansion of the network in Dresdens student residences. For many years, Eberhard Mittag, as an IT contributor of the Studentenwerk, was committed to a close and cooperative collaboration with the AG DSN. He thus enabled a continuity in our work that would not have been possible without his foresight, his extraordinary support and, last but not least, his impressive networking.

Even after his retirement, he always remained loyal to the AG DSN through his commitment, as a supporter and also as a welcome guest. We will miss him all the more with his manifold ideas and his humor.

Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and relatives.

On behalf of the entire AG DSN, the board of the AG DSN

Thanks to recent upgrades made by the ZIH, our uplink was upgraded to two redundant 10 Gigabit connections. This is 200x faster than the common household DSL connection. Until now, we were connected with 10 Gigabit and 4 Gigabit backup to the network of TU Dresden. Thanks to this upgrade, a good connection to the university network and the internet is secured for the future, the old 10 Gigabit connections load regularly was up to 80%

We would like to thank the ZIH for providing the connection to the university network and the good cooperation.

We will start with our office hour again by opening the office Wundtstraße 5 starting from the 20th of January. The office will be staffed on Thursdays only. The offices Hochschulstraße 50 and Borsbergstraße 34 will remain cloded until further notice.

If you experience any problems, our ticket system and our email support at support@agdsn.de are of course still available. To compensate the cancelled office hours we've set up a support hotline (0351 89670993). We try to be reachable at the best possible rate on Mondays and Thursdays 7-8pm.

There will be no office hours during the holidays starting from December 16th and presumably until the 10th of January. Please check our website as depending on the current situation we might need to suspend the office hours further.

On 2021-12-08 at 7pm the next General Assembly of AG DSN will take place at our BigBlueButton.

We will plan our budget for 2022 and do some small adjustments on our constitution.

Members of AG DSN can find the full details and agenda in the invitation, but unfortunately only in German.

In October, the dormitory Fritz-Löffler-Straße 12 will be integrated into the network of AG DSN. We welcome all residents and hope that we can further improve the quality of the network.

Those who have already had network access through the Studentenwerk in the past will continue to receive it free of charge. New tenants must become a member to receive network access.

During October, the installed floor switches will be replaced on all floors, as well as the network sockets. This should enable Gigabit access for all rooms. The conversion is always done floor by floor (per entrance).

For the conversion, the cables in the room (between network socket and end device) must also be replaced. Further details will follow. In addition, all end devices must be reconfigured so that the IP address is obtained automatically via DHCP and is no longer statically configured. This can be changed over as early as October 1 and must be done at the latest after the network socket has been replaced.

Experience has shown that minor problems occur when migrating approximately 500 residents to the AG DSN system. If your connection does not work as expected, contact our support team. We will be happy to help you!

To help with the registration of all the new people arriving for the new semester, our offices at

• Wundtstraße 5 (from 10am to 5pm)
• Hochschulstraße 50 (from 10am to 5pm)
