Connecting Streaming Media Devices or Game Consoles to the CMU Network
1. When connecting streaming media devices
or game consoles to the CMU network,
don’t try to connect them wirelessly.
Instead, connect them to the wired network
with an Ethernet cable.
2. Acquire an Ethernet cable. This cable can
be purchased in the book store located on
the campus as well as in stores such as
Office Depot, Office Max, Walmart, Target,
Kmart, and Best Buy. Plug this cable into
your dorm room Ethernet jack and into your
game console. Power on your device.
3. Using a computer or mobile device that is
connected to the CMU WiFi network or the
CMU Ethernet network, go to
https://pcreg.coloradomesa.edu.
Use your MAVzone credentials to login.
Students who do not know their
MAVzone login should call the Help
Desk at (970)248-2111 or visit the Help
Desk in the Library.
4. After logging in you will be brought to the
device registration page. Click the link that
reads, find your gaming console address.

5. Locate your device and follow the steps to
identify your device’s hardware address. This is
also sometimes called the MAC (Media Access
Control) address, or Ethernet address.
Perform these steps on your device. Write down
this address. The address is a series of six, two
digit letter and/or number combinations,
separated by a hyphen or colon.
For ex: A1:B2:CC:D4:EE:A3
6. With your device’s hardware address in hand, use
a separate device that is connected to the CMU
WiFi network or the CMU Ethernet network, and
go to https://pcreg.coloradomesa.edu. Use your
MAVzone credentials to login.
After logging in you will be brought to the device
registration page. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES
ON THIS SCREEN.
Click the NEW link. This will give you a new, blank
registration screen. Enter the hardware address
you obtained from your device into the field
labeled ETHERNET ADDRESS. Enter the
Description and Location fields as suggested.
Click the Save button.
NOTE: When entering the Ethernet address, DO
NOT use hyphens, only use colons to separate the
pairs of characters.
7. Unplug the Ethernet cable from you device and
leave it unplugged for 15 seconds.
Plug the Ethernet cable back in and your device
will now be connected to the Internet.
