Answers to
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) |
 |
How can I use
the wireless Internet at the library? |
 |
Most users
can simply bring their wireless-enabled laptop computer or other
wireless device to the Library and turn it on. The computer will
automatically recognize the wireless network. If your laptop does not
have wireless built-in, you can install a WiFi-compatible network
card. |
|
|
|
Will I need any
special settings or passwords? |
|
|
There are no
passwords required. In
many instances, your computer or PDA will automatically detect and
connect to the library’s wireless network. If your computer or PDA
does not connect right away, make sure that your wireless utility is
configured as follows:
- SSID or Network Name:
check with your public library for SSID name.
- WEP: disabled
- IP or Network Settings:
DHCP enabled or obtain an IP address automatically
- DNS: obtain DNS
address automatically
- Gateway: no default
gateway set – your card should detect it automatically.
- Save your settings and
restart computer if necessary.

What can I do on
the wireless network? |
|
|
Our
wireless network offers you a high speed connection to the Internet
that lets you:
- Check your e-mail
- Surf the Internet
- Do online research
- Check the library catalog
- Access the library's
databases
Printing is not
currently available from the wireless network. To print you
can either save your document and print when you get home, or save
your document to a disk or cd-rom and use one of the other computers
available to you in the library. |
|
|
|
Is the wireless
network secure? Is it 100% safe for me to send personal information? |
|
|
No, but
wireless networks are not unique in this respect; on all shared
networks, whether wired or wireless, users can potentially eavesdrop
on each other's data, though it is not usually likely that they will.
If you are transferring confidential information (passwords, credit
card numbers, online banking information, health data and so on) you
are strongly encouraged to use secure web sites (SSL) or other
techniques (SSH, VPN) to safeguard your confidentiality. The library
cannot ensure the privacy of information you transfer over the
wireless network.
We can assure you that
connecting your computer to the Internet via a wireless network does
not increase your risk of exposure to viruses and other such risks.
Wireless hotspots do not produce viruses, which are most often
transmitted as attachments to email. It is strongly recommended that
all users install and run a
virus protection
program.

common issues. The technical assistance webpage is available at:
