IGeneral Instruction

   The wireless network in USST covers a wide range of areas including all office buildings, teaching buildings and libraries in the north campus and south campus in Jungong Road and campus in Nanhui district and Fuxing Road. Users in the above-mentioned areas share Internet and the campus network resource. USST is the SSID signal name of the wireless network in this university, and users can automatically acquire IP address via DHCP. The mobile terminals supported by campus wireless network are various, including desktop computers and notebook computers with a WLAN card (wireless local area network card), smart phones with access to WiFi and other smart terminal equipment like iPad.

 

IIIdentification Mode of the Campus Wireless Network

The campus wireless network, using web authentification, integrates the wireless network with the logging platform of information portalmy.usst.edu.cn. Users can log in with their ID number and password of their information portal. Without log-in and authentication, only inter-campus network resources can be reached, and external Internet resources is not accessible.

User name is usually the individual student number (or academic number). The initial password is six figures from the 12fh to 17th of the student’s ID card No. (e.g., if ID card number is 321028751212302561, then the password would be 230256). Password can be changed in the information portal. Please fill in information as complete as possible when logging in the information portal system for the first time so that retake of password in later times, as well as other related operations, would be more convenient.  

If any difficulty encountered during the process of accessing the system, please contact 55271461 for consultation.
