Connecting to the Secure Wireless Network


The Secure Wireless Network name(SSID) is not broadcast.  You will not see it listed by default when viewing your available wireless networks (this is for security purposes).  To connect to the secure wireless network you must:


1.  Have a laptop computer capable of running on the wireless network.  Hardware and Operating System requirements include a personal computer with a wireless network adapter running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Macintosh OS X.  The Wireless adapter must be compatible with WPA security and PEAP authentication.

Make sure the time is set properly on your computer or you will not be able to connect to the wireless network.
NOTE:  We currently do not have the resources to provide any guarantees or assistance for connecting other devices such as iPhones, Blackberry's, Windows mobile devices, and other handhelds to the secure wireless network.  The device must be compatible with WPA security and PEAP authentication to work on the wireless network.

2.       Configure your system according to your Operating System.
