VERY IMPORTANT: Before applying
the following changes to your computer´s TCP/IP configuration, write
down your current TCP/IP configuration! These instructions are for MAC OS
9.x and earlier.
To use the UCI
Mobile Access, you must first register your
MAC (Media Access Control) address. You will need your UCInetID and password
to authenticate.
If you have already configured TCP/IP to determine your MAC address, skip to step
11. If not, continue.
- Go to the Apple Menu
- Choose Control Panels
- Choose TCP/IP
- Choose File -> Configurations...
- Click on the Duplicate Button
- Name the connection: UCInet Mobile Access
- Click Make Active
- Choose Connect via: Airport (or another Wireless card if you are using a
different type.)
- Choose Connect: Using DHCP Server
- Close the Window and OK when prompted to save changes
- Under the Apple Menu, choose AirPort.
- In the AirPort window, click on the triangle next to Settings to expand
the window.
- Under AirPort Network, select UCInet
Mobile Access from the drop down menu.
Note: If you are using an AirPort base station
at home, you can change back to that network by using the same AirPort window
and selecting your home network. This can also be switched using the AirPort
Control Strip. If you use other types of connectivity, such as a modem or
ethernet, you can change back to your previous settings using the TCP/IP control
panel. If you change TCP/IP settings frequently, you might consider using
the "Location Manager" control panel. For more information on the "Location
Manager" control panel, select it from Control Panels under the Apple Menu
and select Help from the menu at the top.
- You should now be connected the UCInet Mobile Access network. Use your Web
browsers or email programs as you normally would. As a security precaution,
telnet access has been disabled on the UCInet Mobile Access network. You may
use an SSH
client instead.
