Wifi support

Connecting our school iPads to MPPS Internet
Sometimes the school iPads request a username and password to connect too the Internet. Do not use you own (or a student) credentials to do this - instead use the ones provided below. Please do not give these to students or parents. It is for teacher use only. Thank you.
Once connected you may also need to accept the Wifi certificate.
If the iPad is still having trouble connecting to wifi go to Settings - Wifi - click on the "i" (information) button next to DETNSW wifi and make sure it Configure Proxy is set to ON. Students will need to use their DET credentials to access the internet.

BYOD and wifi...

For BYOD iPad or phone, after joining DETNSW WiFi, you need to set the proxy. Most devices will work if you choose to AUTOMATICALLY DETECT, but some will require you to set the Automatic proxy to http://pac.det.nsw.edu.au/fib/proxy.pac - they'll then get the proxy authentication popup and they'll beed to put in their first.last@detnsw and their password.

For BYOD on Mac - use the Locations pop up that you''ll see on the Networks preference.

Typically it is set to Automatic.

However, if you create a School location, the wi-fi settings (and proxy) can be applied just when they are at school (and not at home).

So you visit the Wi-Fi > Advanced > Proxies tab when the location pop up is set to School and set to Auto Discovery. Possibly turn it off for Automatic location (or a home location). So this means the proxy is only active when you've selected the School location.

Note that you can have different proxy settings for the Ethernet network separately to wi-fi.

Quick BYOD connection guides

The great IT staff at Model Farms High School have put together four handy guides to show students how to join the DETNSW Wi-Fi using a personal device (BYOD).The four separate BYOD guides cover:

Because these guides are designed for student use, they refer to signing on via their firstname.lastname@detnsw username. If staff are using the guides to join their BYODs, remember you need to use your full email address when asked for username. For schools that are not yet on I@E (like MPPS) the Wi-Fi join instructions are the same, but you need to set Automatic Proxy in your internet settings.
