Note: After settings have been changed, some Linux devices, smartphones, or other mobile devices require a restart.
Note: Some distributions of Linux may require an additional configuration option called "PEAPLABEL". For most devices, the default setting of "Automatic" is sufficient. However, some devices may require PEAPLABEL to be explicitly set to "Version 0".
Note for Android Users: Some additional settings that may be needed:
- The 'CA Certificate' field - set to 'Use system certificates'.
- 'Online Certificate Status'- set to 'Do Not Validate'.
- 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.
