Because our system is a firewall, the printer will not be allowed to act as a server and jobs from outside locally connected devices will not be able to print to it. Connect the printer and other devices you wish to print from to a switch, and that switch in the Ethernet jack. The devices will be able to use the internet and print, however the printer will not be accessible from outside the computers on that switch.
Yes, connect the switch to the jack and all your computers to the switch. Auto Login (802.1x) will not be supported and all computers will need to authenticate using the Captive Portal individually.
We recommend you use a switch, not a router for the issues with routers being listed above. Please see below on using a switch to connect.
Yes, however we do not recommend it for the following reasons. Once one device on a router logs in, no further devices through it will have to login. All devices on the router will share the speed of one connection. All users on the router will be seen as the person who logged in. Any security issues will be the responsibility of that user. Only Captive Portal authentication will work (Auto Login 802.1x) will not. Please note the PenTeleData Acceptable Use Policy requires wireless encryption be active on all wireless routers.
In order to provide a reliable and secure connection, you are connected through your own personal firewall. This firewall will not permit traffic that is designated to a server. The PenTeleData Acceptable Use Policy also prohibits the use of servers.
Call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-281-3564 (select option 2, then option 1). Please have the MAC address of the device you wish authenticate ready to give to our representative.
Many devices such game consoles, network printers, etc. cannot authenticate using either method. There are two methods to register these devices. Each user is allowed up to one MAC authenticated device. A MAC authenticated device can be added to your account by calling our Customer Service Department. The second method requires the device be connected to a router along with a PC on that router. By authenticating the PC through Captive Portal or Auto Login the device will also be given internet access.
