Instructions for Using the Cameron Wireless Network
Before connecting a laptop or PDA to the campus network, please be sure to have up-to-date virus protection and make sure that all critical updates and patches have been installed by visiting windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
Install an 802.11 a/b/g wireless network card in the laptop or PDA according to the manufacturer instructions. Information Technology Services recommends purchasing Proxim/Orinoco Gold PC Cards (model 8480-WD) for Microsoft Windows systems as well as older Macintosh Powerbooks. For current model Apple Powerbook G4 and all iBook models, ITS recommends Apple AirPort Wireless Cards.
For wireless card purchasing information, visit Wireless Vendors and Distributors
After the card has been successfully installed, the network card will automatically scan and find the wireless network. If the card does not find the network, check the properties of the network card software and try to initiate a manual scan. If a manual scan fails, type in the Network Name / SSID "CU Wireless Network".
Once the network is found, open Internet Explorer or Netscape.
Follow the instructions on the web page displayed and logon to the wireless network. (Picture of Logon Page)
Please review the Computer Use Policy and the Wireless Network Policy.
When you logon, you will be assigned a Faculty/Staff, Student, or Guest role. Each role provides different access to the network. Faculty/Staff and Student roles are allocated 512 kbps incoming bandwidth and 256 kbps outgoing bandwidth per user. Guests are allocated 128 kbps incoming bandwidth and 56 kbps outgoing bandwidth per user. Guests only receive the ability to view web pages.
