Connect to CP-IoT-Secure (Gaming and Media WiFi Network)

IMPORTANT: To complete your device registration, you will need to: Verify that your device is on the list of supported devices. Connect to campus WiFi or VPN. Have your Cal Poly or CSUM username and password handy. Look up the device's WiFi hardware/MAC address (not Ethernet hardware address) Use the web browser that is native to your computer operating system (Safari or Edge) REGISTER Your Device: STEP 1 | Go to IoT Device Registration and log in with your Cal Poly or CSUM email address (username@calpoly.edu or username@csum.edu) and password. Click the Login button. STEP 2 | Click Create Device, or the Create a New Device button. STEP 3 | Enter the device's 12-digit WiFi hardware/MAC address. Separate the characters with colons (for example, XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). Additionally, enter your Cal Poly or CSUM email address (username@calpoly.edu or username@csum.edu) for the User Email, and select Wireless for the Device Type. NOTE: Solano campus does not currently support the Wired/Ethernet Device Type option, so that should not be selected. STEP 4 | If you wish to share access to your device, enter any additional Cal Poly or CSUM email addresses (username@calpoly.edu or username@csum.edu) separated with commas in the Shared With field. Then, click the Create Device button. STEP 5 | On the next page, you will see your personalized WiFi password under the Current Password field. This password will only work on the CP-IoT-Secure network for the registered device.

CONNECT Your Device: After you successfully register your device (see Step 1 above), you can connect it to the CP-IoT-Secure network by following these steps: STEP 1 | Go to your device's WiFi settings and select CP-IoT-Secure.  STEP 2 | Enter the password you received during the IoT Device Registration process to connect. (This password is different from your Cal Poly or CSUM password.) If you forgot your password, see View Devices and Passwords below.

Normally, your device will not be visible to anyone else. You can choose to share your device with other Cal Poly or CSUM users so they can connect to your device, either during the IoT Device Registration process or by logging in and managing your devices (see View Devices and Passwords below). Once sharing is enabled for another user, they will be able to see the device. If they can see the device in their AirPlay menu, it means they can use it in the same way as you. If they cannot see the device, then they have not been granted access.

STEP 1 | Go to IoT Device Registration and log in with your Cal Poly or CSUM email address (username@calpoly.edu or username@csum.edu) and password. STEP 2 | Click Manage Devices, then click on the device you'd like to view. STEP 3 | Click Edit to see specific information about a device, including its current password (for Wi-Fi devices), the device type, and who the device is shared with. NOTE The device password is unique and will not allow other devices to connect to CP-IoT-Secure. If you inadvertently register a Wired device as Wireless (or vice versa), you can change the device type here. The WiFi password will automatically be generated if necessary. STEP 4 | If you make any changes, click the Update Device button.
