• 1. Dormitory networks are a component of the campus network infrastructure, primarily intended to support academic purposes. For efficient utilization and proper governance, these "I-Shou University Student Dormitory Network Management Regulations" (hereafter referred to as the Regulations) are established in accordance with the "Ministry of Education Campus Network Use Guidelines" and the "I-Shou University Campus Network Use Regulations".
• 2. The dormitory network services are explicitly dedicated to current residents of the university dormitories.
• 3. To support residential students, the university assigns "Dormitory Network Assistants" to assist with network configuration, setup initialization, and basic hardware or connectivity troubleshooting.
• 4. Under the authorization of the Office of Library and Information Services, Dormitory Network Assistants are permitted to perform the following service procedures:
  (1) Inspect and test physical network ports.
  (2) Report operational issues regarding network communication hardware.
  (3) Provide user advisory services for computer network queries.
  (4) Assist residents with basic dormitory network configuration parameters.
  (5) Verify and audit user IP allocation, MAC addresses, and related configurations.
  (6) Temporarily disconnect network segments or individual nodes when necessary to preserve overall network bandwidth stability.
  (7) Perform other technical support activities authorized by the Office of Library and Information Services.

• 6. Users are strictly prohibited from utilizing network resources to transmit data that is threatening, obscene, hostile, or commercial in nature.
• 7. The university allocates specific network settings unique to each dormitory building, floor level, and room number. Unauthorized variations or failure to follow settings will result in the immediate suspension of network access privileges.
• 8. If an individual computer becomes infected with malicious software or originates cyber attacks that degrade overall dormitory network stability, its network access privilege will be suspended.
