Frequently asked questions
Is there a charge to establish a wireless connection?
There is no service charge to connect to the wireless network.
What do I need to access the wireless network?
To access the hospital's wireless network, you need a laptop or notebook
equipped with an 802.11 b or g compatible wireless card. Your device must be
configured DHCP and you cannot have a proxy configured on your browser. Hospital
staff cannot assist you in making changes to the device's network settings
and/or hardware configuration, nor can the hospital provide network cards for
your use.
How do I connect?
In most cases, you should be able to connect with the wireless network by
simply scanning for the network and opening up a browser. You will need to
register by typing in your first name, last name and a valid email address
before you can start surfing. Details on configuring your portal device for a
wireless network may vary depending upon specific models, operating system, and
wireless card. For specific information on how to configure or troubleshoot your
wireless connection, you will need to refer to your device's documentation.
Can I print from the wireless network?
No, there are no printers configured on the wireless network.
Is the wireless network secure?
Like most public access “hotspots,” the hospital's wireless network is not
secure. There can be untrusted parties between you and anybody you communicate
with, and any information being transmitted could potentially be intercepted by
another wireless user. Please take appropriate precautions when using this
service.
What if I have problems? Can the hospital staff assist?
Hospital staff cannot provide you technical assistance in configuring your
portable device or troubleshooting wireless access problems. There is no
guarantee that your wireless device will work with the network. The hospital
assumes no responsibility for the safety and security of a patient's or family
member's personal equipment.
