SafeConnect

In order to provide a more stable and secure network, 海角论坛 utilizes SafeConnect, a small tool that helps to ensure your computer is up to date and is free of malicious software. This tool must be installed before full network access can be attained in any 海角论坛 Residence Hall. Instructions for installing the SafeConnect client can be found on either the SafeConnect or Residence Hall page.

 

Games & Media

In order to help support a wide array of devices, the 海角论坛-Media network was created for the purpose of connecting media and gaming devices that do not support modern security methods.

Instructions for configuring your media devices for 海角论坛-Media can be found at the 海角论坛-Media enrollment page.
