ClearPass Registration Guide

How does ClearPass work? ClearPass is a service that allows users to manage internet and network-enabled devices and sharing through an easy to use website. Each device registered is identified in the system with a MAC address. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each device. Simply determine your device's MAC address, register it on the ClearPass website, and restart your device. That's it!

You can also setup guest wireless access with ClearPass for visitors to campus.
