Wireless Network

Covenant College enjoy campus-wide wireless Internet access.

What is the Wireless Network?

A wireless network consists of access points that are connected to the network and send out radio waves to wireless adapters. Several access points are installed such that their signals overlap. The radio waves are transmitted at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz and allow the computers (laptops, PDAs, etc) to connect to the network. Covenant is currently using architecture based on the 802.11AC/b/g/n wireless standards.

The wireless network at Covenant College is designed for use by students, faculty, and staff, with a focus on student use. It provides access to e-mail service, web browsing, and file transfer. The wireless network does not provide direct access to shared folders from our servers. Visitors may use the guest network upon request of a guest pass from our office.

 

What things are prohibited?

Only IT staff is permitted to install access points. The Apple AirPort Station for example, is NOT permitted on campus. This ban INCLUDES any wireless equipped Macintosh configured to act as an access station. Again, the adapter is permitted, but the access point or any wireless device acting as an access point is NOT permitted. Also, the use of ad-hoc wireless network is not permitted on campus, as these will interfere with the network.

 

How to Connect to Covenant’s Wireless Network


Connecting Your Device to Covenant’s Wireless Network

  • Connect to the network named "Register" and enter your username and password when prompted.
  • Select “Register Current Device” and follow the directions presented.
  • You may need to download a small application to complete the process.  This will generate a certificate for your device, install the root certificate authority, and connect to ScotsWiFi with the device certificate.

The following option is available for devices that don't support the authentication protocol used by "ScotsWiFi":

If you know your device's wifi address, visit https://cloudpath.covenant.edu, log in and select “Register Smart Device”, enter a name for the device and then the device’s wifi (MAC) address.  You will be presented with the passphrase for “Legacy”, which is a separate SSID for MAC-based authentication.

Your manufacturer should have directions for obtaining the wifi address for your device.

If you are connecting a phone or tablet you may need to turn off the “Private mac address” option.

If you cannot find the wifi address, please email techsupport@covenant.edu for additional information or stop by Mills 110 during business hours with your device to have it connected to the network.

Please note that we have found the Play Station 4s will connect to Covenant's wifi network but experience some latency issues in certain gaming situations.

 

Printing

To print documents from the wireless network, open a web browser and navigate to portal.covenant.edu/printers and click on Technology Support. Choose the Wireless Printing link on the left. You will be asked to log in with your Covenant username and password, select the printer, and upload the document you wish to print. Follow the directions on the page to complete the print.
