to CCAD academic or administrative networks, file servers, or printers.
Getting Connected

named CCAD.

in the menu bar, or in the Airport panel within Network Preferences.
Windows users, choose CCAD as the SSID in your wireless
network software.)

 Open
a web browser and enter a web address. You may see a warning that
the browser cannot verify the identity of the site—click Continue.
 The wireless hotspot login screen will appear. Enter your CCAD user
ID and password on the left (the same ones you use to access your email),
and click the Log In button. The web site you originally requested
should now appear.
