ECS ACCESS INFORMATION

While you are inside the School of Engineering, you can access SoE resources by our wired network , UCONN-SECURE, or via UCONN-PUBLIC with the VPN.
The UCONN-PUBLIC wireless network inside our buildings will restrict users to the resources allowed by the UITS wireless standard settings
The UCONN-SECURE wireless network has been given access through the SOE firewall. All SOE resources are available via this network. You must use fully qualified computer names for the computers. This is the same procedure that must be used when connecting from off campus using the Juniper VPN. Instructions to access this network can be found on the wireless.uconn.edu page. The UITS VPN is not available over the UITS-SECURE wireless network.
Without the UCONN-SECURE of UCONN-PUBLIC network with VPN, communication with SOE resources will be restricted from outside of the SOE buildings. You may communicate with the servers via Secure Shell (SSH), File Transfer Protocols (FTP, sFTP), Email (IMAP, POP) , and the WWW (HTTP and HTTPS).
All applications that need to contact a license server ( ex Aspen, and Abaqus) will not work over the UCONN public wireless Network. You must use UCONN-PUBLIC with VPN, the UCONN-SECURE wireless network, or a hard wired connection within the School of Engineering
From off campus locations you will need to use UITS VPN to have full access to the SoE resources.

WI-FI communications within the School of Engineering

There are three modes of wireless communication available within the School of Engineering, UCONN-PUBLIC, UCONN-PUBLIC with VPN, and UCONN-SECURE.

UCONN-PUBLIC is available throughout the School of Engineering buildings.

UCONN-PUBLIC connects you one way to the world outside of UCONN.
Only traffic through limited ports is supported
No access to protected School of Engineering Recources is provided via this interface.

UCONN-PUBLIC with VPN

Enables a secure connection to be made to resources within the School of Engineering.
Functions the same as if using the UITS VPN from a wired off campus location.
Fully qualified domain names will need to be utilized to contact computers within the School of Engineering.

UCONN-SECURE

Requires your NetID and NetID Password
Instructions to connect for each operating system are found at wireless.uconn.edu
Provides full access to SoE resources
