Wireless stuff ya gotta know

You'll need the following settings in order to configure your wireless computer successfully. (Some operating systems and/or network card drivers may not ask some of the following.):

• SSID (all areas except Residence Halls): uhart (must be typed in all lowercase letters!)
• SSID (in Regent's Park, Village Apartments, Park River, and Hawk Hall): uhartford (must be typed in all lowercase letters!)
• WEP key type: Static
• WEP key length: 128
• 128-bit WEP key: 0123456789abcdef9876543210
• Power save mode: CAM (Constantly Awake Mode)
• Network type: Infrastructure
• TCP/IP settings: DHCP and/or Obtain address and DNS automatically

Once your network card "associates" itself with an access point, you must start your web browser. Your browser will automatically be directed to the University's Network Authentication System using an encrypted web session.

When the logon screen appears, enter your University of Hartford e-mail name and e-mail password, and click "Log in". Your computer will be connected to the University's network and the Internet, and your web browser will then continue automatically to your default home page. You can then start your email program, etc.
