Technical Support    

eduroam end-users: contact your help desk at your home institution

eduroam technical support staff: report trouble incidents to the BCNET Network Operations Centre (NOC):

NOC is available 24/7

 


To connect your institution to eduroam, you need to:

  • configure your 802.11 wireless infrastructure to enable the "eduroam" SSID with WPA2/AES encryption and 802.1X authentication (typically using PEAP or EAP-TTLS),
  • integrate with your identity management infrastructure,
  • create a public support web page, and
  • RADIUS proxy your .ca domain between your institution and the eduroam operator.

Documentation

All eduroam documentation is available online.
