Campus Wireless Service
TWO WAYS TO CONNECT
UTS offers both iVPN software and a SSL/Web VPN for you to connect. The iVPN is a program from Cisco that runs locally on your computer. The SSL/Web VPN allows you to connect to our wireless network through a Web browser plug-in. UTS recommends you to install the full version if you are a student, staff or faculty member on campus, and the SSL/Web VPN as an alternative or if you are a visiting guest. To access the SSL/Web VPN via on campus DU Wireless, visit: https://ivpn.du.edu. From off campus, visit: http://vpn-external.cair.du.edu.
Note: If you already have a Cisco VPN client installed on your laptop, you can import the DU wireless profile for connectivity through your existing Cisco software. Download the DU profile (.pcf) here! After the download is complete, choose import from the Cisco menu and point it to this .pcf file.
PRIVATE AND SECURED
UTS provides the infrastructure that enables wireless connection on a large percentage of the campus. The DU wireless network is PRIVATE and SECURED -- Getting on the network requires logging into the system using a DU ID and passcode via the iVPN software, which is provided free to members of the DU community. You'll also need a wireless network card that supports the 802.11b or 802.11g standard.
CONVENIENCE VS CONNECTION SPEED
The DU wireless network is designed to supplement the extensive wired campus network infrastructure. Because wireless connections are not designed for large file transfers, please plug into a network jack whenever possible. (The wireless networks maximum data speed is approximately 1/10th the speed of the traditional wired network.)
Note - University Technology Services cannot guarantee wireless connectivity or performance. Wireless connectivity at the University of Denver is currently not supported on handheld devices such as iPhones, iPods, or Windows Mobile PDAs.
