We have recently completed enrollment of a 316-patient, 6 single-center trial of GPi versus STN DBS for Parkinson's disease, and we continue to collect data on those patients. We are nearing completion of a phase II, 8-center trial of gene transfer, introducing a gene encoding a growth factor, for Parkinson’s disease. We have ongoing trials to study new DBS devices, new technical approaches to DBS including use of interventional MRI, and brain physiology in movement disorders.

Yes. To set up multiple computers to connect through your broadband provider from off-campus requires a router. However, some routers are incompatible with our VPN software. The current version of Cisco's VPN software available from this web site supports Apple's Airport Basestation and Basestation Extreme. Please contact your computer support liaison at Haverford for additional information and suggestions.

VPN may be used via a number of home routers (such as Linksys, Netgear and Apple Airport Base Station [except the Graphite model]). While other devices may work with VPN, these are the only brands we know have been tested.

A VPN is a network in which at least one of its components uses the Internet but is works like a private network, using for that encoding techniques. It is the connection system that any SATNODE user utilizes to communicate with the server Host of SatNode. It is possible to activate terminals used with another supplier as long as, if we use the same satellite, the MAC address of the equipment has been freed in the previous supplier, since the same MAC address cannot be registered twice.

Yes. MS Networking, NetWare IP, and AppleShare IP all work over a VPN connection. Drive mounting or file sharing which relies on non-IP protocols such as AppleTalk or IPX will not work. However, TSS does not support mounting of servers outside of NUNET. If you wish to mount a department's server, please contact your UNITS representative for instructions.

Any NCSU faculty or staff with an active unity account is eligible to use VPN services. You have to accept and abide by the AUP in order for your account to be active.
