AirPennNet
AirPennNet Coverage Changes for July 1, 2008
As of July 1, 2008, AirPennNet, the wireless service installed in a large
number campus buildings and public spaces, will be the preferred wireless
service for most faculty, staff and students. Wireless PennNet, which currently
co-exists with AirPennNet in many buildings and public areas, will be retired
on June 30.
AirPennNet is also scheduled to replace AirSAS (installed
in many SAS buildings) and be added SEAS buildings, where it will coexist
with AirSEAS.
Please see the revised wireless coverage
map for July 1, 2008 for location details.
Wireless users who have not previously used AirPennNet are
encouraged to configure their systems for AirPennNet as soon as possible to
ensure that they can connect to the preferred wireless network on July 1.
Instructions follow. Visitors and others unable to install or configure the
802.1X client required to access AirPennNet can use the new AirPennNet-Guest
service.
Getting Started with AirPennNet
In order to connect to AirPennNet, Windows users need to download and configure SecureW2 client software, which provides 802.1X authentication. Macintosh users simply need to configure their computer for 802.1X authentication; no separate client software is required. For instructions on setting up your computer for AirPennNet, select one of the operating system-specific configuration options on the menu at left.
For help with configuration or troubleshooting, choose from one of the following links or contact your Local Support Provider.
Network Security and Authentication
To keep the network as secure as possible, users must authenticate using their PennKey each time they log on to AirPennNet.
