Connect to the Network
The internal Marist network is a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. To connect to the wired network, you will need an ethernet port/card and RJ-45 cable. Wireless network access is available in almost all buildings on campus. To connect to the wireless, you will need an 802.11b/g wireless card and the Cisco AnyConnect client.
To connect, simply plug in the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable into the Ethernet card and launch a web browser. You will be prompted to download and install the NAC Agent. The agent will provide a safe and secure connection to the Marist network. After the agent is installed, log in with your Marist ID and password. Once you log in you will have the ability to use the Internet, as well as resources on the Marist network.
