Computers and Networks
Connect your laptop to the internet or use our All-in-One PCs.
Wi-Fi Connection
There are two independent Wi-Fi networks that provide Internet connection for notebooks, tablets and smartphones – eduroam a MUNI. We recommend using eduroam.
Wi-Fi is available to all MU students and employees.
| EDUROAM | MUNI |
| MAIN Network | AUXILIARY NETWORK |
| Eduroam is an international project supporting user mobility within academic networks. Users can thus connect at various academic institutions around the world. While connecting, users are verified by university affiliated to their account. | MUNI is a special-purpose network used for searching instructions on how to connect to eduroam, or in trouble connecting to eduroam. This network is available only for those who have an MU account. |
| Secure data transmission (unlike MUNI network). |
Data transmission is NOT secure, NOT RECOMMENDED for sensitive data transmission. |

PC and software
General information
Library computers fall under University Computer Rooms (UCR). There are 66 computers at the users’ disposal, 3 of which are designated for access to IS MU and Library Catalogue exclusively. Some computers have an English version of the Windows operating system installed. These computers are marked with a special label at the bottom of the monitor.
You can connect your own PC to Wi-Fi, wired connection is not supported. By using our PC rooms you agree to follow Operating Regulations of MU Computer Rooms (PDF) .
User roaming profile
Use your UCO and secondary password to log in. If you forget your secondary password, you can create a new one.
The first time you log in to a PC in the study room, a so-called roaming profile will be created for you. The functionality can be simply described as follows: settings such as environment configurations or files saved on the desktop or in documents will be accessible on other PCs in the library. This also means that color scheme customizations, Microsoft application logins, and files travel with your user profile across multiple devices in study rooms that you subsequently log into.
Attention! Data on the profile are not backed up (e.g. 6 months after the last time a user logged into the profile the profile is deleted, or if the profile is corrupted no data recovery is provided, maximum storage capacity is 10 GB). Therefore we strongly recommend using OneDrive (user must set up OneDrive sync) or network attached storage O: (already connected by default in study rooms) for data storage. For complete information on roaming profiles and their behavior, please visit the IT MUNI website.
Study rooms software
Study rooms are equipped with computers with standard set of applications and some selected ones (ArcGIS Pro, Google Earth Pro, QtiPlot, QGIS).
- Network drives (T + V) for Geography education data are connected to labeled computers on the third floor (see label "Network drives connected – Geography").
- Geomatica application is no longer available on our computers.
Remote access (VPN)
Staff and students can log in to the university network remotely using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). When connected to the VPN, the computer behaves as if it were connected directly in the university network. It is therefore possible to use, for example, access to electronic resources from anywhere and from any private device.
