Late Sunday evening, IT will be changing the security certificates on the wireless network. When this occurs, you may be prompted to trust the new certificate. If you are prompted when you join the network, simply trust it and then you will be connected to the network as before.

Mobile Device Instructions
To connect your mobile device to our network, please follow the instructions below.
For iPhone / iPad / iPod, see the instructions below:
- Click this link for iPhone/iPad configuration. – This configures both your email and wireless network on the phone. You will be prompted twice for your username and password. The first time is for the wireless network , the second time is for your Cmail account. It is very important that when you enter your username for the Cmail account, you enter your domain and username in one line as g.cofc.edu\username. If you don’t do this, it won’t work.
For Android based devices, go into the Wi-Fi settings and looks for a broadcasting network named cofc-secure. You will be prompted for settings and enter the ones selected below:
- Security – 802.1X Enterprise
- EAP Method: PEAP
- Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPV2
- Identity: Your MyCharleston username
- Anonymous identity: Leave blank
- Wireless Password: Your MyCharleston Password
Important Note: Not all versions of the android operating system support the encryption type that we use, so if you do not have the option to select 802.1X, then your device won’t be able to connect to our secure network.
Print From Your Computer !
- The Addlestone Library and Information Technology are testing a new service where you can print from your computer and pick up the print job in the Addlestone Library computer lab. You will need to download the client software for your computer in order to do this, but there are some restrictions on this service that you need to be aware of.
- Use the on-campus secure networks. (Not from cofc-guest)
- It works on Windows computers, but it does not currently support OSX Lion (10.7) . It does work for Snow Leopard (10.6) on intel based macs
- You can print from anywhere on campus where you can get wireless signal — The library, a classroom, Rivers Green, your dorm room via resnet because that is part of the on-campus network
- It only supports computers, so no printing from your phones and/or tablets
- You must be an administrator on the computer
Test your current location’s availability by clicking this link
(Clicking above should open a window with a graphic in it. If you can see the graphic, you should be able to print.)
The way the process works is that you download the client software below. Save this file to the desktop, and then each time you want to print using our printers, simply double click on this file. This will open a connection to our server, download the printer information to your computer and install a printer on your computer. Simply use this printer and it will prompt you for your MyCharleston username and password just like when you are in the computer lab. After you have printed what you need to print, click on the “Stop Print Client” button in the LPT One window and it will remove the printer from your computer.
Once you have submitted a job, you have 24 hours to release your print job to the library printers. If you don’t pick it up during that time, it is automatically deleted.
- We recommend you download the file to your desktop by right clicking on the above link and choosing ‘save as’ from the menu. The filename you are looking for to start LPT One will be “ClientLauncher“
- We recommend you download the file to your desktop by right clicking on the above link and choosing ‘save as’ from the menu. The filename you are looking for is “LPT One Mobile Print Client“. You can find it easily by clicking the search icon in the upper right hand menu bar and type in ‘LPT One‘
