• OTC has three different wireless networks:

  • OTC-Guest - this is an open network that anyone can connect to. You will need to accept the user agreement in your browser after connecting before you can reach other websites.

  • OTC-WiFi - this is a secured network for students and staff that any wireless device can connect to with your OTC login credentials.

    • The OTC-WiFi network is available to current OTC students, staff and faculty on personally-owned devices.

    • The OTC-WiFi network will provide access to the Internet only, not to any resources of the OTC internal network.

  • OTC-Device - this is a secured hidden connection that can only be seen and used from OTC-owned devices.

    • The OTC-Device connection (usable from an OTC-owned device) will allow access to network resources (such as the R:\ drive).

• The network ID (SSID/ESID) is always case-sensitive for all wireless networks.

• The OTC wireless network conforms to the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g protocol and standards.

• It is not advised to do banking or enter other sensitive information over the OTC-Guest or OTC-WiFi networks.

Troubleshooting

...

Question: I'm connected to otc-wifi but I can't get to OTC webpages like the MyOTC login page, the Canvas login page, Timeclock, or gb.otc.edu. What do I do?
Answer: Do a network reset. This typically happens when your network adapter has custom network or DNS settings.

1. Click on Network in the system tray, and then Network settings

2. Click on Status

3. Look for an option that says Network Reset. This should reset the adaptor back to the default settings.

4. Forget OTC-wifi in Network Settings -> Wifi -> Known Networks

5. Perform first time connection setup to OTC-WiFi
