- Specify 'pitt.edu' in the 'Domain' field
Compatible Devices
- Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
- Smart phones
- iPhones
- Laptop computers running the Linux operating system
- Laptop computers that use a third-party wireless client (for example, an Intel client or a Gateway client)
Incompatible Devices
- Bluetooth equipment - Bluetooth uses a different type of wireless signaling than Wireless PittNet. Both exist in the 2.4 GHz frequency range; using them in the same location may negatively affect wireless network performance.
- Older wireless cards, drivers, or network managers that do not support WPA2-Enterprise networking. WPA2-Personal and WEP will not work on Wireless PittNet.
