[:en]WiFi access via eduroam[:af]WiFi-toegang met eduroam[:]

Thursday, April 8th, 2021

[:en]

Since the beginning of this year the MatiesWiFi service is no longer available for any staff or students for access to WiFi on campus. Instead you will be required to use eduroam for wireless connections. This change was mainly made to ensure better security. More information.  

To further improve security and comply to eduroam’s GEANT guidelines we had to implement a new security certificate. This certificate will lead to better performance and speed up the sign-on process in future.

If you connect and sign on to eduroam on a Windows device, depending on the versions, you will be prompted with a messages This will happen only once. Click on Connect and continue working as usual.  Similar messages will appear if you work on devices with Linux or Apple operating systems.

NB. Please take note that you need to enter your full sun email address when signing on to eduroam.

 

 

 

 

[:af]

Sedert die begin van die jaar is MatiesWifi nie meer beskikbaar aan personeel en studente vir toegang tot WiFi op kampus nie. In plaas van MatiesWiFi moet gebruik gemaak word van eduroam vir enige WiFi-verbinding. Hierdie verandering is hoofsaaklik gemaak om sekuriteitsredes. Meer inligting. 

Om sekuriteit verder te verbeter, asook om te voldoen aan eduroam se GEANT-riglyne, was dit nodig dat ons `n nuwe sekuriteitsertifikaat implementeer. Hierdie sertifikaat sal lei tot beter werkverrigting en voortaan ook die aantekenproses bespoedig. 

Wanneer jy verbind aan eduroam met `n Windows-toestel (afhangende van die weergawe) sal jy `n kennisgewing kry kry. Dit sal slegs eenmalig gebeur. Kliek op Connect en gaan voort soos gewoon. Soortgelyke boodskappe sal ook verskyn as jy op toestelle werk met Linux of Apple bedryfstelsels.

NB. Neem kennis dat jy jou volle sun e-posadres moet gebruik wanneer jy aanteken op eduroam.

[:en]Interactive campus map shows WiFi in buildings[:af]Interaktiewe kampuskaart wys WiFi in geboue[:]

Thursday, April 1st, 2021

[:en]

Almost a year ago Facilities Management introduced their custom-made, interactive campus map. This online application was developed in collaboration with Information Technology and Esri South Africa and is particularly handy for new students who are not yet familiar with our campus. More on the app’s functionality.

One of the useful functions that has been added over time is a layer which indicates WiFi availability in buildings. To access the WiFi layer, just follow the instructions below. 

  1. Open https://campusmap.sun.ac.za/in your browser.
  2. Select Proceed. 

 

3. Click on the layers-icon (circled in red below)

 

4. Select Campus WiFi Coverage

 

Although the campus map is live, it is continuously improved and updated as new needs arise from its users. 

For enquiries and suggestions, you are welcome to  contact Facilities Management. 

https://www.matiemedia.org/su-releases-first-interactive-campus-map/

[:af]

Bykans ‘n jaar gelede het Fasiliteitsbestuur hulle pasgemaakte, interaktiewe kampuskaart bekendgestel. Dié aanlyn-toepassing is in samewerking met Informasietegnologie en Esri Suid-Afrika ontwikkel en is veral handig vir nuwe studente wat nog nie bekend is met die kampusomgewing nie. Meer oor die funksionaliteit van die kaart.

Een handige funksie wat mettertyd bygevoeg is, is die aanduiding van WiFi-beskikbaarheid in geboue. Om die WiFi-koppelvlak te sien, volg die instruksies onder:

  1. Maak https://campusmap.sun.ac.za/in jou webblaaier oop.
  2. Kies Proceed. 

 

3. Kliek op die layers-ikoon (met rooi gesirkel)

 

4. Kies Campus WiFi Coverage

 

Alhoewel die interaktiewe kaart lewendig is, word dit deurentyd verfyn en opgedateer soos dit gebruik word en nuwe behoeftes bepaal word. 

Vir navrae en voorstelle kontak gerus vir Fasiliteitsbestuur.
