Wired Services provide Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructures within a building or agency environment enabling data communication among local computing and printing resources within an organization. These services support the infrastructure components and resources beginning where the end device connects into a wall plate. Wired Services are available to State of Illinois agencies, boards and commissions that DoIT presently supports.
Computers (i.e., wired and wireless desktop and laptops) are logically connected to essential servers and printers through LAN designation. They enable connectivity to the DoIT Data Center which in turn allows for access to DoIT service resources. This service also enables the use of file and print services and provides for remote access.
