iPod Touch/iPhone, othe non-Laptop devices/ UCC WiFi

baileyjackson

Just wondering, how would I go about using my iPod with the UCC Wifi System?,
The Amount of hidden Portals in the Campus buildings are countless, but I understand that's its only Laptops that are allowed to be registered with the Wireless system. IMO its a Joke, seeing as most documents on Blackboard are compatible with Safari on the iPod/Phone!

Just wondering if anyone has any other devices joined to the Network, besides Netbooks and Laptops?

I don't but I think I remember them saying in the computer centre that you're entitled to register a laptop and one other device or something like that. Have you asked in Boole basement?

Yeah Ive asked one of the Techie guys who gets the same bus as me, and he said they never get people asking to reg ipods, but tehy prob wouldnt be allowed anyway!?:(

Thats a load of bollox....I have seen iPod touch's set up on the network so it is indeed doable.

There is no problem getting an iPod set-up to use the network. Treat it as a normal laptop. Sign up online and then call to the computer centre!

You definitely can register them on the network, I have my ipod touch registered. You go to sit.ucc.ie and just register the device online, then go into them to finish off the registration and off you go!
