Game consoles and other devices don't support the normal login process for the UMBC Residential Network, but you can register them to be authorized regardless.
Note
If you already plugged the device into the network jack, you will need to disconnect and reconnect the network cable after following these instructions.
From a computer or phone connected to the UMBC network (Visitor wireless is fine), visit register.resnet.umbc.edu :
Sign in with your UMBC username and password. You'll be asked to agree to an acceptable usage policy the first time you sign in to the page.
Here you can add devices to register them, or edit/remove devices that you've already registered. Click Add.
Here you'll need to enter a name for the device, as well as the Device ID (also known as a MAC Address or Ethernet Address). The device ID may be printed on a sticker along with your device's serial number, or it may be displayed via a System Information option in the device. If you can't find the address, you can search online for how to locate it.
Once you enter the Device name and ID and click Submit, the device will be registered. Plug it into a UMBC Residential Network ethernet port and turn it on; it should come online within 30 seconds. If you lose or sell the device, be sure to remove it from the registration page, or you will be responsible for whatever it does online.
Note
After registering your device, its status will appear as "pending". This is normal.
