4 IDENTIFICATION BADGE During normal technology office hours you may collect your identification badge from the IT Support staff. You will be asked to pose for a picture to be used on the badge.

5 What do I do if I have a guest on campus that doesn't have SHMS credentials, but wants to connect to the SHMS wireless network?** Guests of the seminary that do not have SHMS credentials that would like to utilize the wireless network at SHMS are welcomed to register themselves using the "Sign Up" option located at the bottom of the login page. Clicking "Sign Up" will take the guest to a form were they will be asked to provide their first and last names, the company or group they are associated with, a phone number they can be reached at, an address and will be asked to accept the terms of the usage policy. The guest can then self-register by or by SMS (text message). SMS (text message) If the guest chooses "Register by SMS" a numeric access pin will be sent to the phone number used on the registration form. The guest will need to enter this pin into the following screen to gain access to the wireless network. **PLEASE NOTE** Due to a multitasking limitation of ios, apple devices like ipads and iphones cannot self-register using the SMS method. If the guest chooses "Register by " then the user will gain access to the network for ten minutes. During this ten minute period the guest will need to check the account used on the registration form for a registration confirmation . This will contain a unique link that must be clicked to complete the registration. **The new self-registration replaces the need to contact the rector's office or library circulation desk to gain temporary access to the wireless network. What do I do if I have a device that I would like to connect to the wireless network that does not have the ability to use a captive portal, such as an Xbox, Roku, Internet enabled DVD player, Wii, Playstation, Kindle, Nook, etc...? Users with SHMS accounts are welcomed to connect non-"computer" devices to the wireless network by manually entering the MAC address (sometimes called "Machine Address" or "media access control" address) of the device in question into the gaming system registration page located here: This page will first ask you to enter your SHMS credentials and accept the usage policy. You will then be asked for the MAC address of the device you will be connecting to the wireless network. Generally, the MAC address of a device will be printed somewhere on the surface of the device; however, the exact location of your MAC address will vary based on the specific device you are using. Please Note: While we make every effort to provide wireless access in all residential, library, and classroom locations, some areas in the SHMS facility will have stronger coverage than others. For this reason, if you have a wireless device with either an old wireless card, or a weak wireless card, you may experience intermittent connectivity in some locations. Testing the entire campus using an Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN wireless network card we were able to successfully connect in all residential, library, and classroom locations. Your specific wireless network card may produce different results. Technology Guide

6 COMPUTER LABS Logging In A computer lab is located in the Cardinal Szoka library and is open to all users of Sacred during the library s normal operating hours. There are additional labs located in resident areas for seminarian use.

Note: the Virtual Cash Acceptor will not provide change. When you print a job, it will not print it immediately, but instead will be held in a queue. You will need to use your ID badge to release a print job. This system ensures that you are present and ready to collect your job. Note: If you can't find your print job it may have 'timed out'. Print jobs are held by the release station for 12 hours. If they have not been released after this time they will be deleted.
