Wireless Network

TSRI maintains a wireless network in public areas and conference rooms for the use of faculty, staff, and students of the institute. On the Florida campus, coverage extends into office and lab areas. Use of the wireless network is intended for TSRI related business and must, at all times, be in accordance with TSRI’s Administrative Guidelines, Section 9.1 Electronic Communications and Computer Systems . Access to the network may be restricted or denied for violations of TSRI policy, state or federal laws, or standards of conduct and propriety.

The TSRI wireless network uses WPA2 enterprise security. To access the TSRI wireless network you will need a valid TSRI username and password. Detailed instructions for connecting to the wireless network are given below. If you normally use another means to connect to the TSRI network, you should save those settings before making the changes suggested below to connect to the wireless network.

Wireless access for TSRI guests is also available. Guest access will allow non-TSRI users access only to websites external to TSRI (http:// and https://). Guests will be required to enter an email address to login to the TSRI Guest wireless network.

Known Issues:

• USERNAME/PASSWORD not accepted:

  In some cases the authentication system will not accept a valid TSRI username and password combination. This is due to the password not being in the database that the wireless authentication server uses to validate a user. To resolve this you must use the IT services password change tool to propogate your password to the new database.
