Connect to PSC Wi-Fi Network: LINUX

Modified on: Tue, Nov 29 2022 6:12 AM

PSC Wi-Fi Overview 


Connect to PSC with

Android   Apple iOS   ChromeOS   Linux   Windows 



IMPORTANT!  In order to configure a device for PSC network access it must have Internet access.  Devices can be set up while off campus using your home Wi-Fi network or cellular data connection, or you can temporarily use PSCvisitors if you are on campus. Also note that the installation process may vary somewhat across different linux flavors. 

  1. If you have an existing profile for the PSC network in your device open your Wi-Fi settings and "forget" it.  If not, you can skip to Step 2.

  2. Launch your favorite web browser and navigate to https://wifi.pensacolastate.edu.

  3. Your Linux OS should be automatically detected.  If the detection was incorrect select the correct OS in the drop-down menu.  Click JoinNow.



  4. You will be prompted to download a file named SecureW2_JoinNow.run.  Choose Save File to download the application to your default download directory.



  5. Open a command terminal, change directory (cd) to your Downloads folder and run the downloaded file using the sh command.



  6. You will now be prompted to sign in using your PSC network/email account and password in your browser.





  7. Once you sign in the script should continue and, if you're on campus, you should be able to connect to PSC.  If you're not on campus you will get a message indicating that configuration succeeded but the network is not in range.  However, when you arrive on campus you should automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network.
