Frequent Asked Question

a) What is a wireless network?

Wireless Local Area Network “WLANs”, specifically those supported by the popular 802.11 standards
family such as 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. Another term frequently used for WLANs is “Wi-Fi”. A
Wireless LAN is a type of local area network that uses high Radio Frequency (RF) waves rather than
network cable to communicate between noted.

b) How fast is the connection?

The IIUM Campus Wide Wireless Network maximum can operate at 54Mbps with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE
802.11g standard. Technologically, it is a shared access medium. This means it depends on how many
users are connected to the wireless access point. If there are many people connected to the wireless
access point, the slower the connection will become. Besides that, the encryption transmission (WPA)
will also affect the wireless speed, but this is important for wireless security purpose.

c) How to login and use wireless?

For Staff
username: email username
password: email password

For student
username: matric number
password: pin number
d) PC Minimum Requirement

The minimum system requirements for the mobile user PC are:

System hardware
PC or notebook support wireless
Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g Adapter (Wi-Fi compatible)-PCMCIA, USB or built in (Centrino, etc).
Handheld, Pocket PC, Palm support wireless

System Software
One of the following:

 Microsoft Windows XP Professional

 Microsoft Windows 2000
 Macintosh
 Linux Ubuntu 8.04
 Windows Vista (not recommended yet by ITD IIUM)
for easiness, please downgrade your Vista to Win XP

Additional Software
 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 2
 Netscape navigator 4.75
 Any Browsers.

e) What cause wireless connection problems?

• Disabled wireless network adapters.
• Incorrectly configured wireless network settings.
• Insufficient credentials for authentication or missing permissions for authorization
• Distance, interference, or obstructions between wireless devices
f) Why the status is validating identity?

Few reasons why the status still on validating identity

 Wireless client or adapter not running properly (please restart again)

 Laptop infected with viruses, spyware, malware, adware, worms or Trojan-horse
 The operating system is not genuine
 Wireless account blacklisted by the administrator (security threat etc)

g) What to do when Windows Vista shows limited connection OR connected with limited access?

Windows Vista Wi-FI security was designed with two type of WPA which is personnel and enterprise.
While the other operating system just simply WPA only.

 When you are connected but limited access, shutdown your laptop for a few minute and restart
again.
 Enter again your credential info if required
 Windows Vista not recommended by IIUM Wi-Fi admin - use at your own risk
 The best way is to use normal Windows XP, Macintosh (MacBook) or Ubuntu 8.04

h) Why the registration setup is complicated and it is not as easy as at any public Wi-Fi such as Starbuck,
Secret Recipe, Coffee Bean or Kotiam Cafe?

The registration setup is complicated just because to ensure that all traffic travel in the air is
encrypted and secured. Public Wi-Fi does not have security features and it is open to risk. What
ever you send can be simply sniffed by unauthorized hacker. IIUM Wi-Fi offers guaranteed secure
connection and all information are encrypted. Secure environment setup is known to be a quit
complicated to non-IT savvy users.

i) Why IIUM Wi-Fi use WPA and not WEP or WPA2?

WEP key can be cracked less then 5 minutes. WPA setting is quit secure enough. WPA2 has strong
security features and more complicated to setup compared to WPA setting. In average, not many
devices own by IIUM Community supported WPA2. ITD will enhance its security using WPA2 in the
future.
