On Email Addresses: Any changes to the subscription data must be approved by
either the technical or administrative contact person, regardless of who is requesting
the modification. To confirm approval, our system sends an OTP to both contact persons
and the user must type this OTP when requested by our system.
It is therefore essential that these email addresses are functional and regularly
monitored. We suggest using email addresses which are independent of your domain
name to ensure they are not affected by problems with the domain name.
On Phone Numbers: To preserve the privacy of the contact persons, our system does
not show the phone numbers even if they exist in our database. Thus, the user must input
the phone numbers every time this form is filled up. Note that PHNET relies on the email
addresses, not the phone numbers, to contact the tech and admin contact persons.
On Alias Web Hostname:
Some institutions may want their website to be reachable via two
different names (e.g. www.myschool.edu.ph and myschool.edu.ph). The
alternate website name is defined here. Leave this blank if you
only want one name for your website.
On Password:
This password is alphanumeric with a minimum of 8 and maximum of 16 characters and have at least one digit and one capitalized letter. If you are modifying your subscription data,
this password will be used *AFTER* you save the modifications. If you do not wish
to change the password, just type in the current password.
Together with the web hostname (as the username), this password is used for two
things:
to upload files to the server using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
to access the Database server
On Validation:
After you click on the "Accept the Service Agreement and Submit Form" button,
there will be two consecutive levels of validation:
Our system will immediately email an OTP to the email address you used
to identify yourself. You must type this OTP to validate your email address.
After validating your email address, our system will immediately email another OTP
to your technical and administrative contact persons. For modifications, these
are the contact persons currently registered in our database, not
the contact persons in the form. For new registrations,
these are the contact persons in the form. You must type in the OTP to prove
that you have been authorized by one of the contact persons.
The form data will be saved to our database
after the final validation.
