Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾

A new service for students in Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls. Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls WiFi enables students to connect their devices externally to the internet. This network is restricted to registered devices only.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ provides the eduroam wireless service to all of its staff and students and additionally in Halls there is generally a wired connection port available.

eduroam is the primary wireless service for access to the Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ network and is the way students should connect to the internet wirelessly.

If you are not already connected to eduroam then do check our connection guides first.Ìý

However, students wanting to connect additional devices are often unable to do so via eduroam. These devices might include streaming devices and Smart TVs, gaming technology and smart speakers.

ISD has launched a new service - Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls WiFi - to enable these devices to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly.

Following a successful trial at Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ East the new service is now available in all Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls of Residence.

The service will allow students to connect devices to Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls Wi-Fi  giving connectivity to the internet only, segregated from the main Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ internal network. By default, no devices will be able to communicate with each other.ÌýAirplay is also enabled.

As both networks (eduroam and Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls WiFi) will be available in Halls, students should check their primary devices (e.g. phones and laptops) remain connected to eduroam where possible, to ensure they are connected to Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾'s IT services. Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Halls WiFi is only for connecting additional devices that do not need to interact with the core Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ network applications.Ìý

Once the device/s has been added using the Device Provisioning Portal (instructions below), all devices will be centrally authenticated and managed based on MAC address.

Devices will be allowed to remain within the Guest repository for a maximum of six months. If the device has not authenticated during this time the central policy manager will automatically remove the device from the repository, an email will be sent 30 days in advance of expiry.
