  1. THE CVR NETWORK

  2. The CVR Local Area Network (LAN) • The purpose of the network is to enhance productivity, provide users with access to resources, and to provide a legal software management platform for the division • The network installation has involved ordering the equipment, setting up the server, network cabling, installing the server, and workstation setup • The CVR network will provide increased capabilities to users at the CVR

  3. LAN Capabilities • Electronic Mail • Printer Sharing • Private Network Drive • Shared Common Drive • Software Packages • Software Utilities • Training • Other Capabilities

  4. Electronic Mail • E-Mail is provided through the use of Microsoft Mail for Windows • Files can be sent ot other users on the network by “attaching” them to e-mail messages. • Future capabilities include: • Messages and files can be sent to other corporate SAIC network users at McLean and other sites. • Users can access the e-mail system from their homes, laptops, etc through remote mail. • Internet e-mail access is provided through the system.

  5. Printer Sharing • All printers will be setup so that users can access at least two printers from their desks • Users can send printouts to more than one printer on the network. • Users can see the current contents of a printer que, move their own print jobs from one printer to another, and delete their own print jobs.

  6. Private Network Drive • Each user will have a “home” drive • The drive is labeled “H:” which stands for home • The drive can only be accessed by the user and the network administrator • Users must login in order to access data on their home drive • This drive area for storage is more secure than your hard disk drive

  7. Shared Common Drive • All users have access to the common drive • This drive is labeled drive “I:” • The drive can be used to store shared files, project data, etc. • The drive is not used as a location for actual software packages • Files can be exchanged through e-mail but the common drive provides the ability for users to edit or share the same data

  8. Software Packages • Users will have access to major software programs from their desks: • MS Word (word processing), • MS PowerPoint (graphics), • MS Excel (spreadsheet), • MS Access (database), • MS Project (management), • MS Mail (electronic mail), • WordPerfect for DOS/Windows (word processing). • All these software applications will run from the server and therefore your hard disk will only have to contain MS-DOS, network login files, and your data

  9. Software Utilities • Several utility programs are available through the network and these include: Intel Virus Scan, Print Que Management, and Novell Netware. • Intel Virus Scan provides the capability to scan your hard disk and floppy disks for viruses. The network already has a program that checks for viruses on the server and on any network traffic. • The Print Que Management allows the user to see what print jobs are on the printers, move their own print jobs, and delete their own print jobs. • The Novell Netware utilities give you the ability to send short messages to other users, see who is logged on, and perform other minor network tasks.

  10. Training • Software training is available through SAIC employees to provide individual training to operation members • Specifically, training can be provided for: • The Network Itself (we will have a brownbag on this) • Applications including: • MS Windows, MS Mail, MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Project, WordPerfect. • The major windows applications have built-in tutorials which can be accessed from the applications’ help menu

  11. Other Capabilities • New functions of the LAN will become available as they are installed and/or needed • Brownbags will be held from time-to-time to inform users of new capabilities and for overviews of network features • Other special software packages are available to certain users who need them • Future network enhancements may include: • remote computing, • faxing from your desktop, • shared modem access, • VAX access through modem.
