Wireless
Registration Procedure
Area
1 - ITS: For help accessing wireless service contact:
Service Desk 756-7000
Step
1:
Bring your wireless-enabled computer by the ITS
Service Desk located in Bldg 14, Rm 114, and request a Wireless
sign-up form.
Step
2:
Fill out the form and submit it to the Service Desk. Wireless
requests will take about 48 hours to process, and you will be
sent a confirmation email when your account has been activated.
After your form has been processed and you have received your
notice that your account is active, you will be able to access
the network from any of the Area 1 locations.
Area
2 – Joint CSC/CPE-ITS Wireless Pilot: For help
accessing wireless service contact: Service Desk 756-7000
Note:
It is highly recommended that you register for Area 1 wireless
access prior to accessing Area 2, as your computer’s wireless
connection settings must be the same as for Area 1, and the Service
Desk can help you verify that those settings are correct.
The
network in this area uses an authentication-based system and is
accessible by any student or faculty member who has been assigned
a Cal Poly Central Unix login name. If you have not yet received
a Unix login, call or visit the Service Desk at 756-700, in Bldg
14, Room 114.
Step
1:
Open a web browser window on your computer while you are in any
Area 2 location (i.e. bldgs 14 or 20). Any modern web browser
with SSL encryption will work.
Step
2:
When your browser tries to connect to any site, you will automatically
be redirected to the authentication page. Enter you username and
password (which are your Unix login and password) in the appropriate
boxes, then click the “Logon User” button and you
will be reconnected to your original destination page.
If
you do not see the authentication page when you open your browser
window, type in the address of the site you wish to go to and
you will be automatically redirected to the authentication page.
Step
3:
Once you have been successfully authenticated, you will have complete
access to the network.
Area 3 - College: For access to Area 3 wireless
service contact: Individual Department Office
Step
1:
Contact the department office for information on connecting to
the local wireless network in that building. Each department in
Area 3 supports wireless, but you will need to check with each
department for specifics.
