People accessing the wireless network should choose from the following
SSIDs:
- Dartmouth Secure is intended to be the primary
wireless network used on campus by Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students.
Connections made to this network will require authentication, and will encrypt
data between the computer and the wireless access point. PKI certificates –
either software or on an eToken – will be required to authenticate to this
network. Devices using this network will have a private IP address of
10.xxx.xxx.xxx while on campus, and will have a public Dartmouth IP address of
129.170.xxx.xxx when connecting to resources that are off-campus. Any resources
that require a Dartmouth IP address will allow connections from this network.
Users on this network are limited to 3 Mbps of bandwidth.
- Dartmouth Library Public is intended to
provide access to Dartmouth's Library resources for people who are on the
Dartmouth campus, but who are not current Dartmouth faculty, staff, or
students. It is only available in buildings that house one of Dartmouth's
libraries. This is an unauthenticated, unencrypted wireless network. Devices
using this network will have a private IP address of 10.xxx.xxx.xxx while on
campus, and will have a public Dartmouth IP address of 129.170.xxx.xxx when
connecting to resources that are off-campus. Any resources that require a
Dartmouth IP address will allow connections from this network. Users on this
network are limited to 1 Mbps of bandwidth.
- Dartmouth Public is intended to provide Internet access
for people who are on the Dartmouth campus, but who are not current Dartmouth
faculty, staff, or students. This includes Alumni, Conference participants, and
guests. This is an unauthenticated, unencrypted wireless network. The
connection to the Internet is provided by an outside Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Devices using this network will have a private IP address of
10.xxx.xxx.xxx while on campus, but will have a non-Dartmouth IP address when
connecting to resources that are off-campus. This means that any resources that
require a Dartmouth IP address – including Library resources – will not be
accessible from this network, unless a VPN session is started first. Users on
this network are limited to 512 Kbps of bandwidth.
- Kiewit Voice is used for wireless IP phones. It will be
maintained for that use.
