The SSID SwatWireless is now only available to College-related individuals with a Windows domain  account at Swarthmore.  This includes faculty, staff and students.  Logon  with your Windows username and password will be required.  Before using SwatWireless for the first time, individuals using  Windows laptops will need to perform a few steps to install a security  certificate available at <a href=\"http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu\">http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu<\/a>.  This only needs to be done once. Macintosh  computers will automatically download the certificate.  SwatWiress uses much stronger encryption and includes encryption of username and password  credentials.  There will be a per user upper bandwidth limit of 1 Mbps  from the Internet and a limit of 256 Kbps to the Internet.  If you already have a SwatWireless network entry saved on your computer from before August 22, delete it and follow the new instructions provided at <a href=\"http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu\">http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is a new SSID called SwatGuest for visitors and other  individuals who need temporary access to the wireless network.  Individuals can obtain a username and password by visiting any  of the campus libraries or at the ITS help desk in Beardsley.  Photo ID  and contact information may be requested before any account is  issued.  Please note that SwatGuestdoes not provide for encryption of traffic and so is not a secure network.<br \/>\nNo security certificate is required.  There is an Internet  bandwidth  limit of 256 Kbps in both directions for guests.  Wireless devices cannot  act as servers to the Internet.  Guest access to the Internet and to the  campus network is limited to web and e-mail with the following  protocols:  http, https, smtp, pop and imap.<\/p>\n<p>Updated instructions and other information pertaining to wireless  networking can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu\/\">http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu<\/a>.<a href=\"http:\/\/wireless.swarthmore.edu\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of steps to improve security on the campus wireless network have been taken recently.
