General
Information
The University of North Texas Computing and Information Technology Center
is pleased to bring you Eaglenet, the wireless network at UNT. Eaglenet is
now available in most buildings on the Denton Campus and in almost all
areas of the Research Park. Eaglenet supports the wireless IEEE 802.11b
standard that allows you to connect your wireless network equipped laptop
or other device to the network without cumbersome cables or wires at
speeds up to 11Mbps (your actual speed and system throughput will vary
depending on your location in a building, the number of other people using
the network, and the type of equipment you are using.)
Quick Start
Guide
For those users that have used wireless before at another location and
currently have their equipment configured for wireless operation , simply
set the SSID to eaglenet and turn off WEP encryption. This should
permit you to connect to Eaglenet from your device. Some operating systems
will automatically detect the Eaglenet wireless network and offer to
connect to it, with others you may need to scan to find the available
networks then select the one you want to connect to. Once you've connected
to the wireless network, when you open a web browser to go to a web site,
you will be asked to login with your EUID and password. When you complete
the login, you can surf the web. If you have difficulty in connecting to
Eaglenet, refer to the other selections listed above. - Back To Top Of Page
Hardware
Needed
Persons wishing to access the Eaglenet network will need a laptop,
tablet PC, or PDA configured with an 802.11b wireless Ethernet adapter
(either a PCMCIA, USB, or internal adapter). You may also use an 802.11b/g
or 802.11n adapter if set to work in compatibility to 802.11b. - Back To Top Of Page
