- Connect to "UHI"

Connect to "UHI", register using your normal userid/password. That's all!
Tablets
Surface RT tablets cannot currently be registered for use on the UHI WiFi network.
Problem: The registration system downloads a program to the tablet. The tablet has an ARM processor and so is incapable of running the program, which is for an Intel processor. Registration fails.
Solution: We expect to resolve this by an upgrade of the registration system, before Summer 2013.

e-Reader
Sony PRS-T1 / PRS-600, Amazon Kindle WiFi
The SONY and Amazon e-book readers we tested can be registered as normal, but the e-book Store cannot be used.
Problem: Plain Web Browsing works until SSL (HTTPS) secure connection is required, which cannot work without setting the HTTP Proxy.
Solution: None. There seems to be no way to set the HTTP Proxy.

- Select network "UHI"
- Register
- Change the Proxy from Direct Connection to Automatic
- Select Settings

Blackberry
There are several models of Blackberry smartphone. Once you have connected to "UHI" Wi-Fi and registered your phone, you will need to find the place in 'Settings' or 'Advanced Settings' where you can set the HTTP Proxy to "fcache.uhi.ac.uk" port "8080".
Unfortunately on some models it is not possible to set this - in which case some web sites will work, but sites which use SSL security (HTTPS) will not work properly.
Please send us details is you are able to set your Blackberry successfully; please include the model code and take a screenshot of that is possible.

eduroam - international roaming for education
The international eduroam consortium, of which the UK JANET Roaming Service (JRS) is a member, has its website at http://www.eduroam.org
PLEASE NOTE THAT eduroam IS NOT YET AVAILABLE AT UHI, and so the reciprocal usage which would allow you to use the service at other institutions is not yet available.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Please don't try this unless you want to take part in a trial!
There are no instructions as yet on how to un-enrol your device from the trial. Deleting the management settings might not undo all the settings changes applied by MDM.
To use MDM you need to 'enrol' each device. The enrolment method depends on the device type.
- You may be issued with a device management certificate which you need to Install.
- Once enrolled, you may be asked to install a number of Apps.
- Security settings on your device may also be enabled to protect your information.
If you are interested in deployment of tablets in the classroom, please contact Jem Taylor (LIS) via the Help Desk.
Once enrolled in MDM, your device will receive some settings changes which should help you use Campus Wi-Fi, set up UHI Email, and install the recommended Apps.
