Guest Wireless Accounts
The
Guest Wireless Account tool
provides faculty and staff with the
ability to sponsor up to four visitors for temporary access to the
University of Maryland wireless network.
This process will provide a temporary
user-ID and password which
will allow your guest to log into the wireless network just as you can
with your Directory ID and password. Faculty and staff can request up
to four guest accounts to be active at any one time. They can be active
for up to 30 days.
If you require more than four accounts
simultaneously, please see your designated LAN Administrator. LAN
Administrators are designated by your local Departmental Data
Representative (DDR). A list of DDRs can be found at:
http://www.oit.umd.edu/units/nts/voicesys/faculty/dtr.html
University of Maryland College Park faculty who are visiting
University of Maryland University College can request wireless accounts.
For more
information about this please see
UMUC Wireless Accounts
Bulk Accounts (more than four)
Selected LAN Administrators are authorized also to create bulk
accounts using the Guest Wireless
tool. Please see these instructions to
create such accounts.
Format for Wireless Accounts
Guest Wireless Accounts are automatically generated using the
sponsor’s Directory ID as a prefix followed by a hyphen and
incremental number (directoryid-number). For example, Joe User requests
four accounts; they would be generated as juser-1, juser-2, juser-3,
and juser-4. Upon creation of the account you will be immediately
provided with the account information. Please make sure you supply that
information to your guest.
Resetting a Guest’s Password
If your guest forgets their password you may use the tool to reset
it. Simply select the Reset Password button on the main Guest
Wireless Account tool page. Please note that this will reset passwords
for all active guest accounts.
Deleting an Account
If a guest leaves prior to the expiration of their account, you
should delete the account. Wireless guest accounts can be deleted by
calling the Office of Information Technology (OIT)
Help Desk.
UMUC Wireless Accounts
University of Maryland University College (UMUC) will create Wireless
E-mail Access
for University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) faculty who will be
visiting.
Requests can be sent to:
Request
Wireless Account.
UMUC will
send a request via the e-mail account requesting login and password
information. UMUC will commit to responding to the email requests
within four hours of receipt during business hours (7:30am - 5pm).
E-mail requests received outside of those hours will be addressed the
next business day. The login information will allow UMCP faculty to
have wireless access to the internet in both the ICC and SFSC
buildings.
