Wireless Internet
The residence halls are
now using wireless technology to access the Internet. In
response to requests from students, the CSU administration
approved making wireless Internet technology a part of the
residence hall package in the fall of 2001. The wireless
system has several advantages over the old dial-up system.
Some of these advantages are keeping phone lines free for
incoming calls, a much higher connection speed and the ability
to have every student in a dorm room connected simultaneously.
In order to use the wireless network the student's
desktop computer must meet a few requirements.
Each
computer that needs to access the network needs to have
an 802.11b compatible wireless network device. This
device may be internal or external depending on your computer's
features. These devices are available through the university
bookstore at a reduced cost. You will also need a current
copy of virus scan software loaded on your computer. If you
do not have any virus scan software you will not be allowed
to get on the network without this software.
If you need to obtain a copy of this software, it may be
purchased at the university bookstore. For questions, contact
Tony Boone at ext. 7762.
