University Network Message on CityU's Web

 

Angela Tang

The University Network Message Board provides an effective channel for announcement to the entire University via the campus network. University news, President's messages, seminar details, up coming events, ad hoc notices, etc. are displayed once you power on your office networked PC. All these messages are now accessible no matter anytime anywhere via the CityU's Web (http://www.cityu.edu.hk). If you are in the office, invoke Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 from your networked PC. Double click the CityData option on the Information Services Menu in Windows 95 or double click the CityData icon inside the Information Services group in Windows 3.1. The Netscape Web browser will be started and the CityU's home page will be displayed.

For Windows 3.1:

For Windows 95:

On our university home page, click the phrase "University News" under the University logo. The entry University Network Message (Staff Only) immediately appears on the "University News" page. Just like reading other Staff Only Web pages, after clicking the University Network Message link, you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Type in your email account username in lowercase as the login username. The password is initially set to your 6 digits staff ID number. After validating your username and password, the University Network Messages will be displayed.
