Institutional IP Address
To use Emerald’s e-resources institutions should obtain and use a fixed, external IP address. Why?
- Access by IP is preferred - we can register both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols (if both are in operation at your institution, it is essential that both are registered to the account)
- Instant recognition for institution
- Seamless access, no need for log-in details (username / password)
- Administration reduced as all computers networked on the IP address can access e-resources
- Heightened security due to reduced misuse of log-in details (username / password)
For these reasons we do not allow an IANA or BOGON IP addresses to be registered for access - as per the list here. Please contact Emerald Customer Support for additional information.
