Description of the Birkbeck Wireless and Mobile service
IT Services operate an expanding wireless network serving teaching areas of the College, and many teaching rooms have live network ports to which members of the College may connect.
In order to secure the Birkbeck network, access to the wireless and mobile network is restricted by a Network Access Control system called Bradford Campus Manager. Before allowing a device on the network, Campus Manager scans the device to ensure that it meets Birkbeck's policy requirements (in particular to ensure that the system is adequately patched and has anti-virus software installed). To use the service, a user must:
- connect to the service, either wirelessly or via one of the fixed ports in teaching rooms.
- Start a web browser, which will be redirected to a login page to register for the service using your CCS username and password.
- Agree to Birkbeck's terms and conditions.
- Allow the scan of the machine to take place, and if successful, login to the production network.
