http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X:
"Mac OS X (Pronounced as Mac OS 10) is a line of operating systems by Apple and has been delivered since
2002 on all new Macintosh computer systems. It is the successor to Mac OS 9, the last "Classic" Mac OS
used by Apple as from 1984."
As from Mac OS X SNOW Leopard (10.6) the Mac Mail application has direct/native support for Exchange
environments: http://www.apple.com/macosx/exchange/
You can establish a connection from Mac Mail to the UvT Exchange environment as follows:
Add Account
Full name: <full name>
Email Address: <mailname>@uvt.nl
Password: <UvT password>
Microsoft also has an Office suite for the Mac. Part of it is the mail application Entourage.
Staff and students of Tilburg University can cheaply purchase the Office suite for the Mac via
http://www.surfspot.nl.
After having installed Office on your Mac that way, you can download a special Entourage edition that is the
Web Services Edition. This version has direct support for Exchange environments.

1306-EN.dmg
From Microsoft Entourage "Web Services Edition" you can establish a connection to the UvT Exchange
environment as follows:
The successor to the Office 2008 suite for the Mac is Office 2011 for the Mac.
In the Office 2011 edition the mail client Entourage is replaced by a real Outlook client being
equivalent to the Windows version.

You can establish a connection from Microsoft Outlook to the UvT Exchange environment:
The Exchange server will automatically (autodiscover) be found (email.campus.uvt.nl) and the Personal
information is filled in. You may possibly adapt the Account description (e.g.: Exchange campus UvT).
The communication has a secured connection (SSL).
The UvT Exchange also is accessible via the familiar IMAP protocol. Mind: only the secure (SSL) variant is
supported. With the UvT Exchange environment is said good-bye to the familiar POP protocol.
For mail clients with IMAP (SSL) support think for instance of:
This way attachments are properly downloaded and also in-line images are properly loaded.
2c. MS Entourage
The UvT Exchange environment can also be accessed via a web browser: https://email.campus.uvt.nl/owa
Web browsers:
The user experience is the same here as in MS Internet Explorer (since Exchange 2010).
The purpose is to open up this environment via the SURF federation, implying that UvT students can use
their UvT username and UvT password for this new mail environment.
For the time being this new mail environment can only be accessed via a web browser!
In other words: Apple users can also use for instance Mac Safari or Firefox here.
The user experience is the same here as in MS Internet Explorer.
- When you have a UvT-wireless connection on your Mac you subsequently go to System Preferences and
choose Print & Fax
- Via + add new printer:
When there is connectivity, the Name and Location are automatically filled in
Generic Postscript Printer is default used as driver (Print Using):
Click Add and the printer is added to the Mac and available for printing.
You find your print jobs on the Oc printer in question under the user name you use on your MAC.
Should you want to add a specific Oc printer driver instead of the Generic Postscript driver, you can do this
via Options & Supplies --> Driver
The most recent Oc drivers can be downloaded here:

2. 'From Home:
- Instead of UvT-wireless, only available on-campus, you should enable a VPN connection at home to Tilburg
University. See further on.
From Mac OS X SNOW Leopard (10.6) there is direct/native support for Cisco VPN.
This way no extra software (VPN client) is to be pre-installed any longer.
The latest iOS operating system also has direct/native support for Cisco VPN. This operating system is used
on the iPhone, Ipod touch and iPad.
From your Mac you may establish a VPN connection to Tilburg University as follows:
Go to System Preferences and choose Network
Via + ad a new interface:
Interface: VPN
VPN Type: Cisco IPSec
Service Name: <think of a name for the connection> (for instance: UvT VPN (Cisco IPSec)
-> Create
The new interface appears in the list. Subsequently add the UvT VPN server and authentication data as
follows:
Via the Connect button in this new VPN interface you can subsequently actually establish a VPN connection
with Tilburg University.
You can also do this via the menu bar where an extra icon is added for the VPN connection.
By clicking the icon in the menu bar, a pull down menu appears and there you can choose: Connect UvT VPN
(Cisco IPSec).
As soon as the connection with the UvT VPN server is established, an authentication screen appears.
Fill in at Password: <UvT password>
Disconnection can also be done via the icon in the menu bar by means of: Disconnect UvT VPN (Cisco IPSec)
The Office suite for the Mac can be cheaply purchased as staff or student of Tilburg University via
http://www.surfspot.nl.
This suite is compatible to the formats as used in Office 2007 and higher for Windows.
The successor of the Office 2008 suite for the Mac is Office 2011 for the Mac.
In the Office 2011 edition the mail client Entourage is replaced by a real Outlook client being equivalent
to the Windows version.

The Office suite disposes of the tool Document Connection. This enables among others to download
documents and/or upload them to a SharePoint environment. Think of Surfgroups and in the future the
SharePoint cooperation environment at Tilburg University.
