Changes to AirYork Wireless Network
Access for Laptops on Campus
What is AirYork?
The AirYork service
provides wireless network access on campus, allowing
York students, faculty and staff to use their laptops
at a number of designated locations across campus
(see below). For complete information on using AirYork,
including hardware and software you'll need, go
to the CNS website: http://www.yorku.ca/ccsweb/airyork/
.
AirYork Service Changes
In August 2003, CNS launched AirYork
v2.0. This new version of AirYork is designed
to make the wireless network service easier to use.
Version 2.0 will not require the use of VPN software
to access the wireless network. Instead, people will
use a web-based system to authenticate themselves and
gain access to the network.
Note that while these changes to the wireless
service will make it easier to use, you will need to
use encrypted email to continue to protect the security
of any information you transmit such as passwords or
email messages.
See the AirYork
web page for more details on the service changes.
