Pace Wireless Setup
Regardless of Operating System (Mac or Windows) one must connect to the Pace-Open to makes sure their systems are registered on the Pace Wireless.
If one does not do this, Computers that aren’t registered via PACE-OPEN will NOT be able to access the printer system and many other on campus servers (example: ECHO360) regardless of if their system was connected directly to PACE-WIRELESS
Step 1 – Install Java
a) For Mac -- click java-osx.dmg
b) For Windows – click java-win32.exe
Step 2 – Connect to PACE-OPEN wireless network
Step 3 – Use Web Browser (Internet Explorer preferable on Windows and Safari on Macs) to go to http://www.foxnews.com or http://www.cnn.com – this will force the system to the registration system (Self-Provisioning Wireless Portal)
Step 4 – Log into the Self-Provisioning Portal with the users Pace credentials.
Step 5 – Put Description (example: Apple Macbook Pro or My Windows PC) and click register.
WINDOWS:
Windows machines will load up a Cisco Configuration Application that will setup the Pace-Wireless connection. This may or may not happen automatically, there may be needed user intervention on clicking accept or running the application. Please accept all certificates!
MACS:
Macs have been seen to have seen to have different situations – at this current time I have yet to determine why this is the case.
1 – Nothing Happens. It shows a spinning icon and says it is trying to launch an application. This seems to happen a majority of the time. Wait a few moments and then manually switch the wireless network to Pace-Wireless. Enter the Pace User/Password as needed. Then Test the Network connection with Safari web browser to http://www.foxnews.com or http://www.cnn.com
2 – A Cisco Configuration Application will load but there will be a few clicks of accepting warning and other messages. If this happens, it will connect to Pace-Wireless automatically.
