How to Register a Device without a Browser

Use this procedure to register devices that do not have browsers, for example a video game console or a cable box. If you want to register a device that has a browser, including computers and some handheld devices, see the appropriate page, Register a Device that Has a Browser: Windows XP / Windows Vista / Macintosh.

Cornell University Policy 5.7, Network Registry, requires registration of all devices connected to the network.

To register, enter your NetID and the hardware (MAC) address for your device. For students, the hardware address is used to track RedRover usage totals for network usage-based billing (NUBB).
