Connect Key Employed on Campus Wireless

Posted on by

Over the past year, TS has utilized a product called SafeConnect on the residence hall network to ensure a safe computing environment for all users. On August 18, we extended this system to cover the university’s entire wireless network.

If connected to the Loggers wireless network with a personal computer, members of the campus community will be prompted to login with Puget Sound credentials in order to download a Connect Key. Once installed, the key ensures connecting computers meet these requirements before accessing the network: 1) automatic updates enabled, 2) anti-virus software running, and 3) no illegal peer to peer programs running.

After this one-time installation, users will find it much more convenient to access the wireless network. For more information, see our page on the Connect Key.

We are pleased to provide campus guests with open wireless access through the PS-GuestAccess network. This network does not require a login and will not be sufficient for the type of activities pursued by campus members using the more robust Loggers network. But it does allow guests to access Internet resources such as Web-based e-mail, travel information, and any other website they might need while on campus. This service began Wednesday, August 18.
