Wireless network configuration using OCUunsecure
This wireless network should be used by faculty, staff and students for devices that do not support WPA2 Enterprise. While this is a secure wireless network, it is less secure than the OCUsecure wireless network.
To register a device to use this network, follow these steps:
- Identify the MAC address for the wireless network card of the device you will be registering with this network. An overview and tips for finding a MAC address can be found at the bottom of this article.
- Browse to the ClearPass Guest registration site.
- Login to the registration site with your OCU network credentials.
- Click Create Device on the left hand navigation pane.
- Enter the MAC address identified in step 1.
- Read and approve the Terms of Use.
- Click Create MAC.
Once successfully registered, your device can connect to OCUunsecure with no additional configuration settings necessary. After 240 days, your device will need to be re-registered.
MAC Address Overview
When registering a device to the OCUunsecure wireless network, you will need to identify that devices MAC address for its wireless network card. The MAC address (also sometimes called the Hardware Address, Physical Address, Ethernet address, Network Interface Card Address) is a unique identifier made up of 12 numeric digits and alphabetic letters assigned to a network device and is often seen in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. For the purpose of registering your device, you only need the 12 characters and not the hyphens or colons that separate them.
Every wireless device will have its own method to allow you to identify its MAC address. Please consult the user's manual of your device.
