We are currently only broadcasting two SSIDs to campus Richmond: Open unencrypted network used for computer registration portal and various devices that do not support WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES urwin: required for all devices that support WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES Our approach is to required WPA/TKIP at a minimum and all users/phones/game consoles/etc use this ssid for wireless connectivity. On a case by case basis we will allow devices to remain connected on the Richmond ssid if they can not be upgraded for use with WPA/TKIP. All devices are required to be registered with MAC address and NetID before connectivity ti urwin is permitted. Devices not registered and connected to either Richmond or urwin will be confined to our registration system.
From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Hay Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 3:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless network names We are trying to decide on some network names for our various networks and we are looking for input from other schools. Would anyone mind sharing their SSID names and a brief description of their target audience of devices/users? We are specifically interested in choosing a new name for our SSID that is primarily for smartphone/PDA/iPhone/iPod touch devices. Here's what we have currently: cedarwireless-guest: coffee shop type wireless with limited access, only in academic buildings cedarwireless-special: non-broadcast SSID for smartphone/PDA/iPhone/iPod touch and game consoles cedarwireless-unsecure: clear network with captive portal for laptops (students and others) cedarwireless-secure: WPA2-Enterprise network for laptops (students and others) Thanks, Nathan Nathan P.
