You must fulfill the following prerequisites before you can register with CSN:

• You need to have valid login credentials from the computing center (Universitätsrechenzentrum, URZ) of Chemnitz University of Technology.
• You need to fulfill and accept the requirements mentioned in the CSN terms of service (generally by signing your tenancy agreement).
• You need to have a functioning and installed ethernet network adapter (10 MBit/s, 100 MBit/s, or 1 GBit/s) with TP jack.

Furthermore you should take the following steps beforehand:

• Find the MAC address of your network card and have it ready
• Read the installation and configuration instructions

If all of the above prerequisites have been met and preparations have been done, the following steps have to be taken when registering for the first time:

1. Fill out the registration form completely and submit it. You will instantly receive a confirmation e-mail¹ with the subject “[CSN] Anmeldebestätigung / Registration confirmation” which just confirms that we have received your application.
2. Now the Studentenwerk (StuWe, student services) has to verify the data you have entered for legal reasons².
3. After successfull validation and the activation of your CSN connection you will receive another confirmation e-mail¹. Your port will then usually be automatically enabled after one hour and then you can start using your connection.

¹ E-mail notifications are always sent to the official e-mail address assigned by the URZ.
