These instructions are specific to devices running iOS or iPadOS, including Apple iPhone and iPad. If you need to select a different device type, click HERE.
1. Make sure your device is online
- You will need an active network connection to proceed. This could be...
- Cellular data: an active cellular data connection (5G, LTE, 4G, etc)
- Wi-Fi off-campus: connect to any trusted wireless network (like your home Wi-Fi)
- Wi-Fi on-campus: select onboarding from the wireless network list (if your device is already connected to another network, that's OK too!)
2. Authenticate using your Viewpoint credentials
- Launch Safari and open https://wifi.viewpoint.org
IMPORTANT!!! you MUST use Safari for this step.
(Due to security restrictions put in place by Apple, other browsers such as Chrome are not supported.) - Click the first button "Wi-Fi Onboarding for Apple, Windows & Other Devices"
- Your device type should be automatically detected. Click the red "Sign In" button.
- Enter your Viewpoint email and password and press NEXT.
- (Employees-only) you may need to approve a push from Duo Mobile.
3. Install Configuration Files
- Now that your credentials have been validated, we can begin the onboarding process.
Click the red JoinNow button. - A configuration profile will be pushed to your device. Press Allow.
- You will be notified that the profile downloaded successfully.
Press Close. - Open the Settings app. You should see that a Profile has been downloaded and is ready for installation. Click on the "Profile Downloaded" line.
- You will see a summary of the configuration file. Click Install...
... and press Install again... - If prompted, enter your device's PIN or passcode (used to unlock it).
... and one-more time, press Install. - Now the profile should be installed. Press Done in upper right.
4. Connect to "VPS" Wi-Fi on-campus
-
Congratulations your device enrollment is complete!
-
If you onboarded your device using cellular data or an off-campus network, your device will automatically connect to "VPS" the next time you are on campus.
- We recommend you "forget" any unneeded networks such as "Viewpoint", "ViewpointGuest" and "onboarding" from the saved networks on your device. To do so, follow these steps:
Open Settings > Wi-Fi.
Click on the (i) button next to Onboarding:
Click Forget This Network so that your device does not try to use this network in the future.
Press Forget again. - Do this for each saved network you wish to forget.
- Your device will automatically connect to the "VPS" network, indicated by the blue checkbox pictured here. (The "privacy warning" simply indicates the device will not use a randomized MAC address on this network.)
Congratulations, your iPhone or iPad onboarding is complete!
