Re: Allowing Student Laptops to Connect to School Network

[Matthew Keller <kellermg () POTSDAM EDU>]

We allow students to connect to our wireless network. This is documented
here: http://wireless.potsdam.edu/

We're using an ARS-based appliance
(http://mattwork.potsdam.edu/projects/ars/) to control registration and
border access.

This gives our students access to the Internet/Internet2 and all LAN
services (printing, network file storage, etc.)
