Notes for Specific OS's

OS	Notes
	Android Users:  Install the eduroamCAT app first! It is available from Google Play, the Amazon App Store, or via Direct Download. Once the app is installed, the configuration downloaded from the CAT website above should open automatically and walk you through the remaining steps. Forget old eduroam connections - go to wifi settings and remove the eduroam connection before beginning
	Mac Users: you MUST use Safari on any apple device to use the links to register.
	Chrome OS: Chrome OS requires a little more manual configuration. Follow steps 1-4 below, then skip to the Configuring Chrome OS section further down the page.

Instructions

1) If you have not done so already, connect your device to the Carleton Guest wireless network, then click on the button below:

2) Once at the eduroam CAT site, click the blue banner along the bottom of the page that reads "eduroam user: download your eduroam installer".

3) You will then be asked to select your Home Institution. "Carleton College U.S.A." should appear at the top of the list, but you may search for it in the field provided if it does not.

4) Finally, use the large blue banner to download the installer for your specific device. In most cases, the page will correctly guess the device that you are connecting from; however, you can click the 'All Platforms' link to get a list of all available platform-specific installers. (Chrome OS users, please skip to Configuring Chrome OS below)

5) Once downloaded, run the installer. When prompted, enter the following information:

Username: enter your full Carleton email address e.g. fschiller@carleton.edu
Password: enter your regular Carleton password.
Repeat password: enter your regular Carleton password to confirm

6) Click on the Install button. Your device will warn you about trusting a new type of certificate.  This is expected and should only happen the first time you run the installer on a particular device.

7) Finally, once the installer has completed configuring your device, point your device to the eduroam wireless network and it should connect automatically.

In Case Of A Problem

As with all software, on occasion, the eduroam installer may not work correctly. Or there may not be an installer for your particular device. If so, the best option is generally to contact the ITS HelpDesk at 507-222-5999, or stop by the Helpdesk located in the CMC. ITS staff will be happy to work with you directly to configure your device for the eduroam network.

On occasion, you may need to download and install the 'root CA certificate' directly (common on Linux machines and Chromebooks). Click here for that file.
