[:en]Connect to WiFi on campus[:]

Thursday, January 27th, 2022

[:en]

 

The Wi-Fi network used to connect to the internet access is called eduRoam. Here we explain what it is, how to register and why it is necessary.

What is eduRoam?

eduRoam (education roaming) is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. eduRoam allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop.

To connect to eduRoam and start using Wi-Fi on campus follow these steps.

[:en]eduroam available at Tygerberg[:af]eduroam beskikbaar by Tygerberg[:]

Tuesday, October 5th, 2021

[:en]

TENET and the Western Cape Government, in partnership with Liquid Intelligent Technologies, have been piloting eduroam in four of the Western Cape provincial hospitals:

  • Khayelitsha Hospital
  • Tygerberg Hospital
  • Groote Schuur Hospital 
  • Mowbray Maternity Hospital

The continuation and expansion of this programme within the hospitals and into other hospitals depend on the provincial Department of Health seeing value in the deployment. Unfortunately it seems that the demand on these four sites has been lower than anticipated, which could mean that there’s a risk that the pilot will not be extended. 

We would like to encourage staff and especially students who are on placement within one of the four hospitals where the trial is available to make use of the eduroam facility.

Unfortunately, eduroam coverage isn’t (yet) ubiquitous, with only a few access points in each hospital carrying the network. Currently eduroam is available near the main entrances of each of these hospitals or close to staff areas.  In particular, it is likely to be found close to signage for Liquid’s own Free Public Wi-Fi (see image right)

Once connected, students should be able to get Internet access without the usual cap that applies to the public Wi-Fi in those locations.  

More on the use of eduroam can be found on our service catalogue.

TENET en die Wes-Kaapse Regering, in samewerking met Liquid Intelligent Technologies, het onlangs `n eduroam- proeflopie in vier Wes-Kaapse provinsiale hospitale implementeer:

  • Khayelitsha-hospitaal
  • Tygerberg-hospitaal
  • Groote Schuur-hospitaal 
  • Mowbray-hospitaal

Die uitbreiding en voortsetting van hierdie program by hospitale word grootliks bepaal deur die Departement van Gesondheid se gewilligheid om die waarde van die program in te sien. Ongelukkig blyk dit dat die aanvraag by bogenoemde vier hospitale laer is as wat ons verwag het, wat kan beteken dat daar `n risiko is dat die proeflopie nie verleng gaan word nie. 

Daarom wil ons graag personeel, en veral studente wat uitgeplaas is na een van die vier hospitale waar die proeflopieg beskikbaar is, aanmoedig om van die eduroam-diens gebruik te maak.

Ongelukkig is eduroam-dekking (nog) nie wydverspreid nie en is daar slegs enkele toegangspunte vir die netwerk in elke hospitaal. eduroam is tans beskikbaar naby die hoofingange van elk van die hospitale, sowel as in die nabyheid van personeelareas. Dit is veral beskikbaar in die omgewing van Liquid se eie Wi-Fi kentekens (sien voorbeeld regs)

Sodra studente (of personeel) aangeteken is sal Internettoegang sonder die gewone publieke Wi-Fi beperking (cap) in dié areas beskikbaar wees.

Meer oor eduroam se gebruik is op ons dienskatalogus beskikbaar.

[:en]WiFi access on campus[:af]WiFi-toegang op kampus[:]

Tuesday, November 17th, 2020

[:en]

Since the beginning of this year MatiesWiFi is no longer be available and all users will be required to use eduroam for wireless connections. 

The reason for this change is the necessity to move away from a less secure WiFi option (MatiesWiFi) to a more secure one where your data and identity are encrypted and protected (eduroam)

How to access eduroam if your device is already registered

If your device is already registered on SU WiFi network, namely MatiesWiFi or Secure, it will be able to connect to eduroam automatically. Just use your full username (xxxx@sun.ac.za ) and password to log in. Instead of MatiesWiFi or Secure select the eduroam network on your device’s WiFi settings. In order to access the internet via eduroam, you will still need to open your Inetkey.

Further instructions are available here.

How to access eduroam if your device is not registered

If your device is not registered for the SU WiFi network please use Registerme to do so. Each device must be registered on its own and you can register up to 5 devices on US WiFi network.

Take note that these instructions are only applicable if you want to register your device on the eduroam WiFi network. For other network registration please log a request on our ICT Partner Portal.

Sedert die begin van die jaar is MatiesWiFi nie meer op kampus beskikbaar nie en sal alle gebruikers moet oorskakel na eduroam.  

Die motivering agter die verandering is om vir sekuriteitsredes weg te beweeg van `n minder veilige WiFi-opsie (MatiesWiFi) na WiFi waar jou data en identiteit enkripteer en beveilig word (eduroam).

Toegang tot eduroam as jou toestel geregistreer is

Indien jou toestel alreeds op US WiFi netwerk vir MatiesWiFi of Secure geregistreer is, sal dit outomaties aan eduroam kan koppel. Gebruik jou volle gebruikersnaam (xxxx@sun.ac.za ) en wagwoord om aan te teken. In plaas van MatiesWiFi of Secure kies net die Eduroam netwerk op jou toestel se WiFi-verstellings. Indien jy toegang tot die internet via eduroam benodig, moet jy steeds Inetkey oopmaak.

Volledige instruksies is hier beskikbaar.

Toegang tot eduroam as jou toestel nie geregistreer is nie

Indien jou toestel nie geregistreer is vir die US WiFi-netwerk nie, gebruik asb. Registerme om te registreer. Elke toestel moet apart geregistreer word, maar jy kan tot 5 toestelle op die US WiFi-netwerk registreer.

Neem kennis dat hierdie aanwysings net van toepassing is vir die registrasie van jou toestel op die eduroam WiFi-netwerk. Enige ander netwerkregistrasies kan op ons ICT Partner Portal aangevra word.

[:en]Eduroam Visitor Access (eVA)[:af]Eduroam-toegang vir besoekers (eVA)[:]

Wednesday, November 6th, 2019

[:en]

eVA (eduroam Visitor Access) is a new service which enables higher education and research institute visitors to access the secure and trusted eduroam Wi-Fi network. As additional identity management tool, eVA is a platform where visitors who only need temporary internet access can be registered in a simple and secure manner. 

What is it? 

eVA provides a mechanism that allows authorised staff at eduroam participating institutions to sponsor a visitor and issue temporary credentials to that person for a defined period. Designated eVA admin can determine who is eligible to sponsor visitors, and how long those visitors may gain access.

How does it work?

If you are interested in using eVA to register your department’s visitors, please log a request on the ICT Partner Portal. To simplify matters, this could typically be the same contact person as for SUNid and only one person per department or division.

Note that your line manager has to approve your request before we can assign you rights. Approval can also be done on the ITC Partner Portal.

What are the benefits?

  •  No other, additional registration, for example SUNid, is necessary to use this service.
  • Ease of use. Manuals and instructions are available online.
  • Visitor rights can be managed and limited.
  • Access expires automatically after the selected set date.
  • Records can be tracked and audited.

More information on eVA.

eVA (eduroam besoekerstoegang) is ’n nuwe diens wat besoekers aan hoër onderwys- en navorsingsinstellings in staat stel om toegang tot die veilige en sekure eduroam Wi-Fi netwerk te verkry. As addisionele identiteitsbestuurmiddel, is eVA ’n platform waar besoekers aan Universiteit Stellenbosch wat slegs tydelike internettoegang benodig op eenvoudige en veilige manier kan registreer. 

Wat is dit? 

eVA verskaf ’n meganisme wat gemagtigde personeel by eduroam-instellings toelaat om ’n besoeker te begunstig en tydelik regte aan toe te ken vir ’n spesifieke tydperk. Aangewese eVa-administrateurs kan bepaal wie geregtig is om besoekers te bestuur en hoe lank besoekers toegang kan kry. 

Hoe werk dit?

Indien jy eVA wil gebruik om jou departement se besoekers te registreer, teken asseblief ’n versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal.  Om administrasie te vereenvoudig, kan die eVA kontakpersoon tipies dieselfde persoon wees wat SUNid ook hanteer en verkieslik ook slegs een persoon per departement of afdeling.

Neem net kennis dat jou lynbestuurder jou versoek moet goedkeur voordat jou regte toegeken kan word. Goedkeuring kan ook op die ICT Partner Portal gedoen word. 

Wat is die voordele?

  • Geen ander, addisionele registrasie, byvoorbeeld SUNid, is nodig om dié diens te gebruik nie.
  • Maklik om te gebruik. Handleidings en volledige instruksies is aanlyn beskikbaar. 
  • Besoekers se regte kan bestuur en beperk word.
  • Toegang verval outomaties na ’n verkose datum.
  • Rekords kan gehou en geoudit word.
