New Wireless Workshop Schedule

Beginning April 5th 2005, University Technology Services is offering a new way to help train students on the new wireless network. Instead of signing up for a class during the week, USC students can now drop by during specified times in the University Technology Services (University Technology Services) Tech Lab for wireless assistance. For faculty and staff, please contact either your network administrator or the Help Desk, (7-1800) for wireless assistance.

The following times will be open to any student needing wireless help (Spring ’05, Maymester, Summer I and II ’05):

  • Tuesdays = 2-4pm
  • Fridays = 9-11am, 2-4pm
     
  • All sessions will be held at the University Technology Services Building, 1244 Blossom St. (Corner of Blossom and Sumter) – Sign in with the main lobby and you will be taken to the tech lab. There will be a maximum of 16 users allowed at a time.

Prior to the workshop, you must have the following:

Wireless-ready laptop with a recommended wireless card (can be internal or external – see http://uts.sc.edu/wireless/require.shtml for the cards recommended)
McAfee Virus Protection (this is available free at http://uts.sc.edu/virus/download.shtml )
All current virus patches and critical updates (for Windows users, go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com ).
Make sure your laptop is fully powered. There is limited AC power in the Tech Lab.

If you do not have these items prior to the workshop, you will be asked to do these from a wired connection (i.e. your residence hall room) due to time-concerns. You may still participate in the workshop and listen to the instructions, but will be asked to return when the listed items are installed and running on your laptop.

During the workshop, you will receive all of the information and support needed to connect to the wireless network. These are not required, but strongly recommended for any student who needs help in getting connected. Help tickets will not be created for students; instead, they will be asked to attend a workshop session at their convenience.

For further information, please refer to our wireless website at http://uts.sc.edu/wireless or call our Help Desk at 777-1800 (7-1800 if on-campus).

Thanks for your patience and cooperation as we work to make wireless @ USC as easy as possible!
