Device EID with NWA Entitlement

IOT network is both for wired or wireless devices. You can see what it looks like in the network portal web page by going here: https://network.utexas.edu/

A Digital signage device is the ideal use case for utexas-iot wireless/wired network. We recommend getting a device EID to register these MAC addresses for WPA2 keys, and the procedure to obtain a device EID is included below. The benefit of having a device EID is that you can share the EID password with other support staff to co-manage these WPA2 keys via the network portal (procedure to register WPA2 key is included below as well). If you have more than 10 devices, we can increase the login limit for the device EID, just let me know which EID and how many logins you need.

Procedure to obtain a device EID: 1. Generate a guest EID (https:// idmanager.its.utexas.edu/eid_self_help/) 2. Open a ServiceNow ticket with IAM team (assignment group "ITS-Apps-ID Management") to request for "NWA entitlement". With that they must include: 2a. Two technical contacts (Name, EID, email, phone) and Department contact (Name, EID, email, phone) 2b. The purpose of the use case and how the device is managed/secured 3. Once IAM enables the NWA entitlement, it will have wireless access. IAM will typically request approval from the director of N&T (importance of use case and security) NOTE: be sure to use this EID to login to either the mainframe, AD, Shibboleth, or UTlogin at least once every 18 months in order for the EID to remain active, otherwise you will not be able to log into the network portal.

Procedure to register WPA2 key via network portal: 1. Go to the network portal https://network.utexas.edu 2. Log in with the device EID 3. Click the "Register Wireless Device" button 4. Enter your device's MAC address and a description, and click the "Register" button 5. Make note of the WPA2 key generated (will be unique for each device you register)
