UCInet Mobile Access is UCI’s wireless (WiFi) network, accessible from almost anywhere on campus. Normally, access to this network is restricted to devices previously registered by their campus (faculty, staff, student) owners.
However, the wireless network includes a system for limited, short-term access by visitors. Called “Visitor Express Registration,” visitors may connect to the network, agree to certain terms of use, then be connected to UCInet for a 24-hour period up to seven times in a month. Visitor use of UCInet is restricted to Web, email (IMAP and SMTP), and secure shell (SSH).
If visitors need longer access than Visitor Registration provides, a UCI faculty, staff, or graduate student may register the visitor’s device for up to 4 weeks using manual registration. The visitor only needs to supply the MAC address.
UCI also supports the Eduroam standard, allowing visitors whose home institution also supports Eduroam to use that network ID to connect to UCInet Mobile Access.
