Wireless Instructions – Student

Students will communicate with an AP (Access Point) using a wireless network adapter/card similar in function to a traditional Ethernet adapter. A SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is typically referred to as a network name, identifies a WLAN. USC’s WLAN has a student SSID configured on all wireless APs. Students must have their wireless network card configured and setup to use the student SSID. The student SSID can be obtained via the Visual Information ProcessingVIP” web site and click on Technology. Once the wireless network card has been configured and setup, select the student SSID in order to associate with an AP on the WLAN.

In order to get your laptop connected to USC’s WLAN, the following items are required:
