Wireless Information

The wireless network in the Engineering building is part of CSU's central Wireless network.

Secure Connection

Access to the university wireless network is controlled for security reasons. ACNS encourages everyone using the wireless network to use a VPN (virtual private network) client or the secure Easy Access connection method for his or her own protection. These methods encrypt the information that is sent between the user's computer and CSU's server. Encryption makes it very difficult for anyone to capture sensitive data such as passwords. An individual can connect to the wireless network without using a secure connection but if they do, other people can intercept private information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, email messages, and so forth.

The VPN client encrypts any traffic between your computer and CSU's VPN server, however keep in mind that once your network traffic leaves the VPN server it is no longer secure, unless you are accessing a secure web page.

Please Note: At this time, ACNS does not allow OpenVPN to work with the CSU wireless network.
