GETTING STARTED:

In order to use the Brooklyn College' wireless network, you must follow the steps below:

  1. Have an 802.11b/g wireless computer device (computer or PDA)

    Wintel Laptops PC's running Windows 98se and above, need an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter and the appropriate 802.1x client (see below). Many newer laptops have 802.11b/g networking built-in. If you have a laptop with a built-in wireless adapter, you will still need to install and configure an 802.1X client as described below.
    You may view a list of some compatible wireless adapters here.

    Apple MAC Powerbooks have 802.11 wireless capability. For MacOS 10.2, you must purchase an Aegis 802.1x client (see below). MacOS 10.3 and above includes an 802.1x client in the OS and must simply be configured as described below. If you have a compatible, add-on wireless adapter in your MAC, you must either purchase an Aegis 802.1X client for MacOS 10.2, or configure the built-in 802.1X client for MacOS 10.3 and above

    PDA's running PocketPC 2002/2003 can use either the Aegis or Alfa & Ariss 802.1X clients.

  2. Obtain your BC E-mail ID and password.
  3. Install and/or configure 802.1X on the computer or PDA using your BC email ID and password (see instructions below)

  4. Go to one of the college's Wireless Hotspots (view Wireless Hotspot locations)
