How to request a conference network for an event

Introduction

Western faculty and staff can request a conference network for a large-scale event.  This is a chargeable service and must be requested at least 2 weeks prior to the start date for the event.  Late requests are not always able to be fufilled.

Procedure

Please contact the WTS Helpdesk at least 2 weeks prior the start date of your event.  Please note that requests made less than 2 weeks before your event may not be fufilled.

The following details will need to be provided:

  1. Conference Name.
  2. Preferred network name (SSID) to be broadcasted.
  3. Start Date and time.
  4. End Date and time.
  5. Location(s) where the conference is being held.
  6. Approximate number of attendees.
  7. (Optional) A list of registered attendees. You can get the attendee template here: WTSConferenceWirelessAttendeeTemplate.csv

Prior to the event you will be provided with an Admin account to register/modify attendees as needed for the duration of the event.

NOTE: The Admin provided account is unable to remove registered accounts. In order to remove accounts, you must contact the WTS Helpdesk.
