How to: Connecting to the MassArt Wireless (WiFi) network

 

Open network preferences and select MassArt from the list of available networks.

 

The browser page should be automatically redirected to the MassArt Registration page, pictured below.

 

                                                                                                                                          

The MassArt Registration page may fail to load automatically on some devices. Users who do not see the MassArt Registration page after connecting to the MassArt WiFi should open a new browser window and navigate to https://eac01.mca.massart.edu.

The MassArt Registration page displays a variety of methods for connecting devices to the WiFi network.

Authenticated Registration

Users with a valid MassArt NetID, can authenticate to the network using the Network Login interface, entering the NetID in the User Name: field, and the NetID password in the Password: field. 

About the NetID

A user's NetID is typically the string of characters before the @ symbol in the user's email address. For example, if the user's email address is jdoe@massart.edu, the user's NetID would be jdoe.

Entertainment Devices

Entertainment devices, as the implies, are typically devices students bring with them to use in their residence hall room for entertainment purposes. Popular entertainment devices include Smart TVs, gaming consoles, or streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Fire TV, AppleTV), and WiFi-enabled appliances.

Devices which lack a web browser, and which consequently cannot access the MassArt Registration page, can be connected to the network if the user clicks on the Entertainment Registration link in the middle of the MassArt Registration page from a non-registered device.

NOTE FOR RETURNING USERS:  If you've already registered the device you're using to set up an entertainment device, register your entertainment device HERE.

Clicking the link will load the Registered Device Administration page.



 

Users should enter their NetID and password and click Login. 

 

Users are directed to the Self-Registration page, and will have an opportunity to review the Technology Acceptable Use Policy before selecting Complete Registration.

 

Click Add in order to add the MAC address of the device.

 

Enter the NetID in the User Name: field, the device's MAC Address in the MAC address: field, a  device description, and click Submit.

The device will now appear as approved and will have internet access on the MassArt WiFi network.

Guest Network Access

For those on campus who do not have a MassArt NetID, MassArt provides internet access as a complimentary service.  From the MassArt Registration page click Register in the Register as a Guest field.


On the ensuing page, users should enter the required information (fields pre-fixed with an asterisk are required) and click Complete Registration

 

 

Users will receive a verification code on their mobile device, and at the email address that provided. 

Users should enter the verification code in the *Verification Code: field, and then click Complete Registration button - only once.



The device will be granted internet access and redirected to massart.edu.

Users encountering issues connecting a device to the network should contact us using the Team Dynamix Client Portal, via email at helpdesk@massart.edu, or via phone 617.879.7888.
