Concordia wireless network

Most Windows 10 devices will not require configuration and will connect automatically if you select the ConcordiaUniversity network and provide a valid netname and password when prompted.

If your device fails to connect, follow these steps:

1. Right click on the Network icon and choose 'Open Network and Sharing Center'.

2. Select ‘Set up a new connection or network.’

3. A new window will open, allowing you to choose a connection option. Select ‘Manually conect to a wireless network’ and click ‘Next.’

4. Enter the information as shown in the image below and then click ‘Next.’

5. Another window should open stating that you have successfully added ConcordiaUniversity. Select ‘Change connection settings.’

6. The Wireless Network Properties window will appear. Select the ‘Connection’ tab and check the first and third boxes (Connect automatically when this network is in range & Connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)).

7. Select the ‘Security’ tab. The network authentication method should be Microsoft Protected EAP (PEAP). You may also choose to remember the credentials by checking the applicable box, then click ‘Settings.’

8. A pop-up window will open. Unselect ‘Verify the server's identity by validating the certificate,’ then click ‘Configure.’

9. A pop-up window named ‘EAP MSCHAPv2 Properties’ will appear.
   By default, this option will be selected — unselect it and click OK.

10. This will bring you back to the Wireless Network Properties window. Select the ‘Advanced settings’ button.

11. In the Advanced settings window, select ‘Specify authentication mode’ and select ‘User or computer authentication.’ Click OK.

Before you begin, ensure that you have an AirPort card or a Wireless Network card that is supported by your Macintosh. Please see Apple Airport Support for more information on supported devices. Make sure that the AirPort software is up to date by running a software update in the system preferences under the apple menu.

This describes the procedure used for connecting systems using Apple's OS X 10.7 or higher to the Concordia University Wireless network using PEAP and WPA2 protocols. The instructions here may not work on earlier versions of OS X and may vary depending on your configuration. For further information on OS X wireless support, lease visit the Apple website.

Steps to follow:

• Select ConcordiaUniversity from the wireless pull-down menu at the top right of your screen.
• Enter your netname and password when prompted.
• Click Remember this network if you would like your computer to automatically connect to Concordia's wireless network.
• Click continue to accept the certificate when prompted.
• You will be prompted to put in your admin (local) username and password. This is a username and password you would have created upon purchase of the computer.
• You should now be connected to the Concordia University network. To verify your connection go to the Wi-Fi pull down menu > Open network preferences and ensure that there is a green dot beside the Wi-Fi connection.

This document describes the procedure used for connecting systems using Apple’s Os X Snow Leopard (10.6) to the Concordia University Wireless network using the PEAP and WPA2 protocols. The instructions here may not work on earlier versions of OS X (i.e., 10.4, 10.5) and may vary depending on your configuration. For further information on OS X wireless support, please visit the Apple website.

If this is your first time connecting, you may be prompted to accept a certificate. This process should occur when you first log onto the network, but may happen earlier. The steps for certificate acceptance are found at the end of this document.

Steps to follow:

While there are other methods to connect to the network, we’d suggest you create a User Profile with the settings below stored in it. This will allow you to automatically connect to the network wherever it is available. If you have already created a profile, do not repeat this step.

• Open the System preferences > Network.
• Select AirPort > Advanced > 802.1x (tab)
• Please verify that another user profile for Concordia University's wireless network is not already present. If you already have a profile and the settings are correct, do not create a new one.
• Under the user profiles menu, select the [+] button, then select Add user profile
• The name of the network should be Concordia University
• In the username and password fields, type your netname and password.
• Optional: If you wish to be prompted for your password each time you log in, ensure the Always prompt for password box is checked.
• In the authentication area, ensure that PEAP is checked.
• In the Wireless Network pulldown, select ConcordiaUniversity. This will set the profile you have built to work automatically on the Concordia network. Ensure that WPA2 Enterprise is selected as a security type. Click OK.

The protocol used to secure Concordia’s wireless network is not supported on early versions of the iPhone Operating System. Updating your iPhone OS to the latest version is encouraged. For further information, please visit the Apple website.

Steps to follow:

• To connect to the Concordia University wireless network on your iPhone, open the Settings application from your home screen.

  • Network name: ConcordiaUniversity
  • Security setting: WPA2 Enterprise
  • Username: netname

• After correctly entering your netname and password, you will be prompted to accept an certificate.
