Ucinet Note that if you want to run netdraw from ucinet, you may have to go to Options Helper applications in UCINET and tell it where you have installed netdraw. For information on changes in NetDraw over time, see the versions page.
Ucinet Per Mac
In order for you to get Internet access from anywhere on-campus or in residential housing ('ResNet'), you will first need to register the hardware (MAC) address of either your mobile device (smartphone, laptop or tablet) or Ethernet card (wired connection in some computers). This can be done automatically using the Express Registration Tool or manually.
To register the MAC address you must have either a valid UCInetID, or for those who don't have UCInetID, you may use the Guest Registration system. Details on how to do both are below.
Note: Peer to Peer (P2P) Applications Are Not Allowed Over the Wireless Network
Two Ways to Register
1. Express Registration
From your mobile device select the network 'UCInet Mobile Access' (or 'Resnet Mobile Access' if you are living in undergrad housing) and then open a web browser and try to connect to any web page. You should be redirected to our Express Registration ('ExpressReg') page where you will be guided through the registration process. Refer to the directions below.
If you are not automatically redirected, please visit the website https://oit.uci.edu/reg and select the 'ExpressReg' option. Alternatively, you may select the 'Device Registration' option to manually register your device (NOTE: You must have a UCInetID in order to complete the manual registration process).
The two most common reasons why users struggle to connect are:
- they have a Static IP set on their device (e.g. IP address of 192.168.1.4 for example)
- they have a Static DNS address set on their device (e.g. you cannot use Google DNS addresses like 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 during the Express Registration process)
Please ensure that your network settings are set to DHCP and remove these settings. By doing this, your device will automatically grab an IP address and DNS address from the network. Failure to remove these static settings will prevent you from connecting.
If you are still having trouble, please feel free to stop by our walk-in help desk at Aldrich Hall, Room 115 between 9-5, M-F or you may contact the Help Desk at (949) 824-2222.
How to Register

- After 1 minute you should be redirected to the Web page you were trying to access.
If you cannot connect, try again in a few minutes. Your computer may take a few minutes to update its network settings.
If you still can not connect, try rebooting your computer.
Visitor Access Restrictions
We offer limited access to visitors to the UCI campus. The following restrictions apply to visitors using UCInet Mobile Access:
- Visitor access to the UCI network is granted for a 24-hour period, and they may only register 7 times in a 30-day period.
- From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we extend access to 7 days because of the influx of visitors during the summer who attend the CAMP & COSMOS programs. Visitors who are here longer than 7 days will need to re-register their devices weekly.
- Visitor access is restricted to web traffic (HTTP and HTTPS), email (IMAP and authenticated SMTP) and SSH.
If you need longer access than what is provided by Visitor Registration, a UCI faculty or staff member may register you as aguest under their UCInetID for up to 4 weeks using Manual Registration (see Manual Registration tab above). For longer stays, you may be able eligible for a Sponsored UCInetID.
UCI also participates in Eduroam for visiting academics.
Other Wireless Networks on Campus
Besides UCInet Mobile Access, there are several other networks/SSIDs you can connect to. Below are the network SSID names, along with their requirements:
- eduroam - No MAC registration is required.
The following two SSIDs are visible on campus in the School of Health Sciences and the Gottschalk Medical Plaza. They are meant solely for HS users.
- UCIClinic-PSK - Registered MAC required and you must know your HS username and password (mostly used for mobile devices in the clinics). Non-broadcast. The address space is 128.195.144.0/25.
- UCIMCNetMD - No MAC registration required, but you must know the SSID password (used for medical devices - unfortunately OIT does not have this password). Broadcast. The address space is 10.255.106.0/24.
UCI Medical Center Wi-Fi
The UCI Medical Center (UCIMC) has instructions on how to join their wi-fi network in Orange. The SSID in Orange is called UCIHealth (the password is ucirvineaccess).
Subletting Your Apartment
If you live in grad housing and are planning to sublet your apartment, it's important to realize if your subletter is not affiliated with UCI (meaning they don't have a UCInetID), then they will not have internet access automatically.
In order for the subletter to have internet access, you will need to manually register their devices' MAC addresses under your UCInetID. We suggest you send them this link which tells them how to find a MAC address on many different types of devices, and once they provide you with the addresses you'll need to use our Mobile Access Registration tool to register all of them.
By registering their devices under your UCInetID, you accept fullresponsibility for anything they do while using our network.
Please do NOT submit Sponsored UCInetID requests for subletters as they will be rejected.
2. Manual Registration
Register your hardware (MAC) address from any computer already connected to the Internet.
Register or De-register your MAC address
(UCInetID Login Required)
Tip: Find your MAC address
From this page you can download the latest version of Social Network Visualizer. There are installation packages and binaries for the three major Operating Systems (Windows, Mac and Linux) as well as links for the source code.
Click one of the buttons below to download the latest version package for your Operating System. If there is no package for your OS, please download and compile the source code (last icon).
Download and have fun with social network analysis!
Windows
Scanned with VirusTotal. Verify file integrity with SHA256 checksum
MacOS
(unzip, double click the .dmg file, then double click on SocNetV app while holding Ctrl)
Linux
(make executable and click to run in Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE)
Warning for Windows Defender users: Windows Defender might alert you about a threat in SocNetV windows installer. This is a false positive as the installer is automatically created in Appveyor CI and checked for virus with VirusTotal. As you can see in this link, our installer is clean from any harmful agent. If Windows Defender keeps complaining please disable it temporarily, install SocNetV, and then reenable Windows Defender. For your peace of mind, scan the installed files with Defender to verify that they pose no security threat.
Warning for Linux users: On most Linux distributions, there are versions of SocNetV in the official distro repositories, but these are usually quite older and unsupported. For that reason, users of openSUSE, Fedora and Ubuntu are advised to add our repositories (openSUSE/Fedora and Ubuntu PPA) to install and automatically update to the latest and greatest SocNetV version through the package manager (i.e. apt-get install socnetv). If you do not know how to add our repositories in your distro, please read the Instructions in the Manual.
Source code
To compile the source code, please see Instructions.
Development version
Warning: The development is not always stable. Use at your own risk!
You can clone the development branch (called 'develop') of SocNetV with the command
git clone -b develop --single-branch https://github.com/socnetv/app.git socnetv
A new directory called socnetv will be created. To build the development version, install the qt5 libraries and afterwards change dir into socnetv
cd socnetv
and enter the following two commands to compile it:
qmake
and
make
If you have Qt5 installed, a binary file named socnetv (or socnetv.exe) will be created. You can run it by
Ucinet Para Mac
./socnetv (in Linux and Mac) or socnetv.exe (in Windows)
