Registering IoT Devices to Wifi
Before you begin
This document provides a step-by-step guide to manually register devices to the Wi-Fi network. This process is necessary for devices that do not have a web browser and thus cannot complete the usual registration process directly. By following these steps, you will ensure your devices can access the network without any issues.
1 Connect your laptop to the Wifi
This can be either CCA wifi or Residential wifi (Foundershall/Blattner), depending on your physical location. If you do not have a laptop, you can use any device with a browser.
2 Go to the Registration Page:
Open a browser and visit the status page to register
3 Log In to the Registration Portal
Use your CCA credentials to log in.
4 View Registered Devices and Register a New Device
Once logged in, you will see a list of your currently registered devices. Click on "Register another device"
5 Enter MAC Address:
- On the next page, type in the wireless MAC address of the device you want to manually register. Note that the MAC address is sometimes referred to as the physical address.
- You may need to search online (Google) to find out how to locate the MAC address of your specific device.
- Mac-address is unique for each device and is a 12 digit number each pair separated by a ' : ' .
- Click Register
- Click Logout once you have finished the registration process
Important Notes:
- Please ensure that you only register devices that you own, as all registered devices will be associated with your credentials.
- If your device uses a randomized MAC address (often found in the privacy settings of your phone or laptop), you may need to re-register the device if you move from one location to another, such as from Founders Hall to CCA.
