How to set up your BlackBerry to work with DC-UOIT Wi-Fi

A lot of people on campus have BlackBerrys and aren't sure how to set them up to work with the campus Wi-Fi, so I'm posting a small guide on how to set it up. Credit goes to Rohan K for figuring this out. Follow these instructions and you'll have working Wi-Fi in no time!


Assuming you’ve installed the new O/S already, or you have one of their newer phones (I think most of the new ones with the track-pad instead of the track-ball should be fine.. haven’t tested any other than the Bold 9700 though (editor's note, this worked on my Bold 9780 as well).

Start by going to “Manage Connections” and select “Set Up Wi-Fi Network” then choose “Manually Add Network” (you can also scan, which does pretty much the same thing).

If manually adding, the network name would be CAMPUS-AIR.

On the next screen, set the different values as follows:

• Security Type: PEAP
• Username: <your student number>
• Password: <your network password>
• CA Certificate: <choose any certificate, you’ll be ignoring it anyways>
• Inner link security EAP-MS-CHAP v2
• Token: <none>
• Disable Server Certificate Validation: CHECKED

Now you can save the connection, or if you don’t want to save, just click connect.

That should be it.. Enjoy!
