    Wireless Service
    The wireless service in Ablah Library is part of the WSU Wireless Netwark.  This network is under the authority of and maintained by University Computing and Telecommunications. The network  is not an "open" network. You must be a currently registered WSU student, WSU faculty, or WSU staff with a valid Shockercard in order to use the network with your own personal equipment.  Additionally,  you must register your wireless network card and configure your wireless adapter software before access will be granted. 
     This can be done through Shocker One Stop (SOS).  Once the wireless card is registered, the network can be accessed in the Ablah Library.

    To register your wireless card, go to Shocker One Stop.  Login according to the online instructions.  After reaching the "Hello" screen, select WSU Wireless Network Registry under 'General Information' if you are a student or under 'Tools' if you are faculty or staff.  Click on 'instructions' and follow the online instructions to complete registration.   Be sure to logout when finished.
