Using the Wireless Network

• The eGCC wireless network does NOT use WEP or TKIP to encrypt traffic across the wireless network. If you are transmitting sensitive information such as username/password, student ID or social security number, look for the SSL lock icon in the lower left or right corner of your browser to verify a SSL connection.
• SSL provides a secure communication channel between the web server and the browser.
• The user accepts responsibility for his or her account and wireless devices.
• Any illicit activity will be punishable with loss of privileges to the wireless network.
• After 10 minutes of network inactivity you will be automatically logged off.
• Your wireless network session can last 1 day, at which time you will be automatically logged off and asked to re-login to the wireless network.
• Printing is not accessible through the wireless network.
