Wireless
General Information -
Who has access to wireless? - You must be a current employee or registered student taking classes, to be able to set up and use the wireless.
KCC provides secure wireless Internet access for student and employee use at several locations on main campus and regional centers. These locations are clearly identified by blue “Wireless Networking Available” signs. To access the wireless network at any location, you will first need to set up and/or install software depending on the operating system you are using. Access will require log in to the wireless network with your “k”id (or “m”id) and Universal Password, the same one you use for the Kellogg Community College or (Miller College) portal. Basic wireless access provides for Internet usage only. If an employee wishes to connect to network drives or use a network printer, you will need to install the Novell networking client.
Software Installation and Technical Support -
Kellogg Community College staff will not install the client on your personal computer due to liability issues. If you choose to install the client software you do so at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee that you will be able to make a wireless connection due to the hardware or software limitations of your computer. The Help Desk staff is available for limited technical support of your personal hardware but will not “touch” your machine.
Acceptable Use Policy -
Use of the wireless network implies acceptance of the college’s Acceptable Use Policy.
Compatible and Incompatible Wireless Network Cards - Check Compatibility

How can I get connected to the wireless? - If you're on campus, you can bring your laptop to the help desk and we will assist you with setting it up. The help desk is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. If you're off campus and at one of the centers, you can stop in the office for assistance. Normal setup for MAC and Vista machines take 10-15 minutes and Windows XP takes 15-20 minutes. If you are running XP on your laptop, you will need to check out the installation software at the help desk or center office's.
