3 1 OBJECTIVE Most of the college campuses have got a Wireless Network and Internet Connection 1. Any KdG student can go online on campus with his own laptop. This manual is primarily meant for new students, but can be utilised by any student that needs to reconnect to the network. This manual describes what you have got to do if Windows XP is the current Operating System on your laptop. If this is not the case, you will have to consult a different manual. ( Windows Vista Windows 7 MAC OS X Linux This manual has been written in order to install your Wireless Network through Windows and not through Configuration Tools that might have been delivered with the Wireless Network Card on your laptop. 2 WORKING WIRELESS AT KDG 2.1 The Wireless Networks for students There are two Wireless Networks available for students. KDG_Open is the network for: Guests. Students that want to use the Wireless Network for the first time and therefore need to use KDG_Open as an intermediate stage. Students that are having trouble connection to KDG_Student and therefore temporarily have to rely on KDG_Open. In normal circumstances you won t connect to KDG_Open since there is no direct access to your Home Drive, the Shares or the college printers. Mind you! The data that you send through KDG_Open are NOT automatically coded and are possibly legible to others. So never send pass words, credit card data or other sensitive information through this network. KDG_Student is the common student network. It is a secured network. Your network traffic will be coded through this specific network. You do however need a once only configuration.(more further on) 2.2 Preceding checks/actions Mostly, everything is fine but it is always best to check. 1 ICT jargon is put in bold, you will have to read the rest of the text with the same subject related meaning.

Work with a recently updated Virus Scanner. Turn on your Windows Firewall. (Some Virus Scanners (Norton, McAfee) install a Firewall that prevents you from immediately accessing the internet. Consult the documentation of that Virus Scanner to set it up correctly. Choose a safe KdG Password and don t forget to change it regularly. (See the manual Student Account Installation The easiest way to get a wireless connection is through the Automatic Configuration Script. You can download it from If it is on your laptop and you open it, the installation will happen automatically. If this on the other hand doesn t work you will have to do the installation manually. The standard operating procedure consists of three steps that will be elaborated in the next chapters. Log in on KDG_Open in order to download the KdG-certificate. This is also possible through the Wired Network or outside KdG. Install the KdG-certificate.
