Like many in the thread we went down the branding route; our system is called OWL, and we use a big picture of an owl on hotspot advert posters, etc. The users seem to find asking whether somewhere "has OWL" gets a better response than "has wireless". So "OWL" is one of our SSIDs, completely open. Provides VPN server access for members, and captive portal for visitors. Our encrypted service is "eduroam" which many of you may know about[1]. That's where we're pushing all staff and students, so they use OWL with VPN only if they have no WPA. We don't support devices which can't do WPA Enterprise[2]. Cisco WiFi IP Phones use a non-broadcast third SSID. Because of our federated IT structure, we also added rules about what other wireless networks can be called in University premises: "The SSID OWL, or any prefix or suffix on that identifier may only be used according to a naming scheme released by OUCS, and the OWL family of SSIDs will be used only to provide standardised OWL services The SSID eduroam, or any prefix or suffix on that identifier, may not be used except for the purposes of the international Eduroam service" I hope that helps, [1] http://www.eduroam.org/ [2] http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/ - -- Oliver Gorwits, Network and Telecommunications Group, Oxford University Computing Services -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJ071P2NPq7pwWBt4RArXsAKDF1F2GMm9GVHCbawVBVKueoaTWlwCfZlPg hJOJNRVXbjy8a9SOUlkvvLE= =9Keh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
