Wireless Networking
K-State Salina offers wireless connections for K-State students, faculty, staff and guests. Read the Wireless Local Area Network Policy governing wireless computing at K-State.
Guest Access
Campus visitors can use the guest network, which has no security and does not require an eID/password. The guest network is restricted to basic web-browsing protocols and does not have access to K-State enterprise systems such as K-State Online, WebMail, iSIS, HRIS, and FIS.
Student / Staff / Faculty Access
K-State Salina offers secure wireless connections for students, faculty and staff using WPA2 Enterprise encryption. Please note that Salina's WPA wireless (k-state.wpa2) is not the same as the "KSU Wireless" network used on the Manhattan campus. In order to connect using WPA2 on the Salina network you will need:
- A wireless client/supplicant that supports WPA2 and EAP-TTLS
- An active K-State eID and eID password
If you are using wireless client software that supports WPA2 with EAP-TTLS (eg. Linux, MacOS X, Windows 8), simply refer to the summarized WPA settings table below.
| WPA Settings |
|
| Network name/SSID | k-state.wpa2 |
| Network Authentication | WPA2 or WPA2-Enterprise |
| Data Encryption (if specified) | AES |
| EAP method/type | TTLS (or SecureW2 EAP-TTLS if using the SecureW2 add-on) |
| Outer Identity | anonymous |
| Inner EAP method | PAP |
| Validate server certificate | yes |
| Server certificate / Trusted Root CA | ipsCA Global CA Root |
Other operating systems/clients which don't support WPA2 with EAP-TTLS out-of-the-box can also be configured to connect to the WPA network. For configuration details please refer to the appropriate link below:
- Windows XP
- Windows 7/ Vista
- Windows 8
- Apple iPod/iPad
- Apple Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or newer
- Apple Mac OS X 10.6 or older
