Wi-Fi and Network Access: Gaming and Streaming Devices

This document outlines the steps necessary to register gaming and streaming devices (such as consoles, smart TVs, Roku devices, etc.) for use on the Colgate network — both wired and wireless.

Background

Users must register their gaming and streaming devices in order to use the Colgate Gaming and Media WiFi network (SSID), as well as any wired connections. This requirement increases the network's security and allows the limited sharing of some resources.

Requirements

  • A valid Colgate network account and valid network password.
  • The MAC address of the device you wish to register

Procedure

Step 1

Visit clearpass.colgate.edu and log in with your network username (excluding @colgate.edu) and password.

clearpass.colgate.edu
Step 2

When logged in, click Create Device.

Step 3

Enter the MAC Address of your gaming system or streaming device, give the device a name (e.g. “Jason's Roku”), and check the Enable AirGroup box. Then click Create at the bottom right of the screen.

 

 

Allowing others to access your device

To allow others to access and use your device, click Shared and then add the usernames of those with whom you wish to share the device in the Shared with field.

Making changes
