MAC address registration of devices
Guidelines for Connecting Devices Without WPA2-Enterprise Support to the NCSSM Network.
Please use the following instructions to connect a device that does not support WPA2-Enterprise to NCSSM’s eduroam network, connecting instead to the NCSSM-IoT network.
For most devices, such as those running Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, please connect to eduroam using these instructions.
Instructions for device registration
Get the wireless MAC address of the device you are trying to connect to the network. (The method you use to do so depends on the device.)
On a computer already connected to our network, visit https://connect.ncssm.edu/guest.
On that computer, log in with your NCSSM username and password. (Note: Your username is the text before the @ in your email address.)
You should be presented with a screen that asks for:
the MAC Address (enter as recorded in step 1);
a Device Name (can be anything you desire, but please be descriptive);
and Notes. The first two are required.
Click on Create.
Back on the device you are trying to connect to the network, connect to the NCSSM-IoT network with the password provided when the device was created/in your email. At this point, the device should be connected.
Should the device not connect at this point, please send ITS a ticket and we'll assist.

We strongly recommend that you not register laptops and phones using this procedure (unless ITS recommends that you do so). Instead, connect to eduroam.
