Wireless Networking
Those with notebooks or other devices with wireless have the ability to use wireless networks managed by ITS from most locations around the campus.
-
Pomona College faculty, staff and students
should only use the Pomona wireless network as it will give you access to Pomona College network resources not provided by the other wireless networks. You will be required to register your wireless device in order to use the Pomona wireless network.
-
Faculty, staff and students from other Claremont colleges
should only use the Claremont wireless network (CINE can be used, but will be decommissioned soon).
-
Guests (alumni, speaker, vendors, auditors, etc.)
will only be able to use the POM-GUEST wireless network.
Connect to one of the ITS managed wireless network reference above based on your status with the College. Then, open a web browser.
If you need to register, your web browser should be automatically redirected to a registration page where one can enter his/her username or email address. Once registered, web browsing and all of the normal internet services will be available, similar to using wireless at hotels or coffee shops.
Pomona College faculty, staff and students connected to the POMONA wireless network will be able to access Pomona College services such as networked printers, email servers, file servers, etc.
Note:
Similar to open wifi in hotels or coffee shops, the POM-GUEST wireless network does not have an availabe SMTP server. Thus, guest users will not be able to send email from an email client [Outlook, Entourage, Apple Mail, etc]. However users on POM-GUEST will still be able to send mail though a web-based email account (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, etc).
