Students can quickly and easily set up their web-enabled devices such as game systems and smart TV’s on the UMS network.
Special Instructions for UMaine students:
Starting fall of 2019 UMaine will be using an outside vendor (Apogee) to provide wireless service to it's residence halls. UMaine students connecting devices in their rooms should consult the vendor provided documentation to connect their devices to the residence hall network. UMaine resident hall support contact information can be found here.
Instructions
- Ensure your device has been seen on the network
- In order for your device to be registered, it will need to be detected on the network prior to filling in this form. This helps us ensure that the network is seeing the appropriate network interface.
Wireless Devices
- For most wireless devices, you will need to go into the settings of the device and specify the wireless network to use. For UMS campuses and centers, you will need to specify the eduroam network.
- Full step by step walk through for each device can be found here.
Wired Devices
- For wired devices, you will need to ensure that the device has finished powering on and is connected to a live ethernet port.
- You will also need to know the MAC address, or hardware address, of the network card. This is usually found on the underside or back of the device. If you do not see it there, you may need to go into the network settings of the device. More information can be found here: MAC address for the device.
