Wireless Network

德赢体育 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 德赢体育 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.
