Network Guide

General Information

You can access the network from anywhere on campus using the UAS wireless intranet.

All of our classroom buildings, cafeteria, housing, and the library have wireless connectivity which is Wi-Fi (802.11b) compliant. 

Most wireless computers will detect our network automatically. If yours does not, please stop by the Whitehead Building Computer Lab for further assistance!

By accessing the UAS wireless intranet on campus, you will be able to:

• Print to campus printers
• Access UAS fileshares
  • Scratch Disk
  • UASHOME
• Access course materials
  • UASOnline
  • Egan Library Databases
• Use Internet services
• Banner and other admin systems

Also, the University has a Virtual Private Network (VPN) which enables use of UAS Intranet resources on your computer from locations off campus (other internet connections). It allows your computer to perform exaclty as it were on campus with all of the same benefits (fileshares, Banner access, etc)

 

Housing Residents

In addition to the wireless network available in each housing building, Banfield Hall also has an Ethernet network with two access ports in each room.

Because you are living on campus, you will have greater bandwidth to network and internet resources.  In addition, your computer can be more vulnerable to attacks from viruses and other malicious programs.
