Wireless Access

Wireless computing is now available in the Music Library. Anyone with a valid UM uniqname and password and the necessary equipment may access the wireless network. To use the wireless network, you will need a laptop computer with an 802.11a/b/g or 802.11b/g wireless network card and a recent web browser.

How to connect to the UM Wireless Network:

1. Insert your wireless card (unless the wireless card is built-in) and turn on your computer.
   
2. Using your network management software, select UM Wireless Network.
   
3. Launch a web browser:
   
   • Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 5.5 or later for Windows, version 5.2 or later for Macintosh computers
   • Safari: version 1.0.2 for Macintosh computers
   • Netscape Navigator: version 4.7.2 or later for Windows or Macintosh computers.
4. Your web browser home page will be redirected to the UM Wireless Network authentication page.
   
5. Login by typing your uniqname and password.
   
6. Your network browser will return to your predetermined home page.
   
7. You are now connected to the UM Wireless Network and can use your network applications.
   
8. Logging out: If you roam out of range, put your computer in hibernation/sleep mode, or turn it off for at least 10 minutes, you will be automatically logged out of the UM Wireless Network.
