On July 25th we received a suggestion that we upgrade the WiFi in the Isché Library. The equipment was on the list for our IT department to replace as it was nearing end of life. IT sent out a staff person to walk through and do a survey of signal strength on all three floors and took note of all issues.
Today, August 14, 2024, all equipment has been replaced and some equipment has been shifted for better coverage. This was an accelerated timeline for IT to complete but they made their best effort to get this up before the Fall semester is fully in session.
*Update* the network went down at 8:47pm and came back up at 9:46pm.
The WiFi network on the Downtown, City Park and Baton Rouge campuses will be down for approximately one hour this evening after 7pm on Thursday, April 11, 2024 for routine maintenance.
Wireless access on campus will be upgraded this evening starting at 5pm. Expect intermittent access for at least 30 minutes.
*Update* Maintenance was complete by 5:21pm
The Library?áwas?áhearing reports that Windows 8 computers were having difficulty connecting to the LSUHSC-Secure WiFi network. Word today is that the wireless controllers on campus have been updated and the problem should be solved! Contact your local supporter if you continue to have issues.
There will be a slight change to the Wireless Network in the Library as of February 3rd.?á The networked named “LSUHSC” will no longer be available. Please use “LSUHSC-Secure” instead.?á If you’ve used wireless recently in the Isché Library, it should have been defaulting to the Secure network over the last few months.?á The connection method is the same for both networks.
Wanting to use your Android phone or tablet to hop onto the LSUHSC wi-fi? These steps will guide you through the process:
ÔÇó OS has to be 2.2.2 (Froyo) or later
ÔÇó Go to Wireless & networks/Wi-Fi settings to manage any available networks and choose ÔÇ£LSUHSC-SecureÔÇØ from the list.
ÔÇó The authentication for the network is 802.1x, the EAP method is PEAP, and the Phase 2 authentication is MSCHAPV2.
ÔÇó From there youÔÇÖll be able to enter your LSUHSC user i.d. and password (sometimes the i.d. needs to be prefixed with lsumc-master\userid). After this information is entered, youÔÇÖll be authenticated to the network and it should show you are connected to the LSUHSC wifi.
Would you like to use your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch on the campus Wi-Fi but don’t know where to start? We have updated instructions that will walk you through the steps needed in order to get your favorite iOS device to work on the LSUHSC Wi-Fi network. The handouts can be found via the Library’s site under Mobile Devices and Wireless Instructions.
