Configuring WPA2 for the Macintosh

To setup your AirPort or Airport Extreme for use on NoWireUC

1. In the menu bar, click on the AirPort icon and choose Open Internet Connect...

2. In the menu, select AirPort under Configuration. Next click on Turn AirPort On.

3. Under Network, choose “Other.”

4. Enter “Securewireless“ in the Network Name dialog box and select WPA2 Enterprise. Enter username (6+2) and password. Click on OK to proceed.

5. If your connection is successful, your AirPort icon in the menu bar will become bold and show the signal strength (based on how many bars are bold – like this ). Once you have configured this, your computer should recognize when it is in a wireless area at UC and should automatically connect. If you are in a wireless areas and can’t connect, turn AirPort off and then on again (through the AirPort Status Icon). This will usually fix the problem.
