Where’s Taho?

Beginning Monday, October 12, 2009, users will no longer see Taho listed as a wireless network, only Buccaneer and Pirates. But not to worry—it’s just a name change; the log on routine will stay the same, and users should just choose the new name, Pirates. Read on for details.
ECU has two wireless networks, Buccaneer and Taho (Pirates).
Taho (Pirates) is the wireless network accessed by faculty, staff, students and guests through WiFi mobile devices or personal Windows or Mac laptops using a Web browser or the CCA Agent software (if it’s configured on the machine).
Effective Monday, October 12, Taho users should select the wireless network, Pirates, to log on to the ECU network. This is a name change only, and most Windows laptops will recognize the Pirates network and allow log on. However, Macintosh and mobile devices may need some help. Those users who have trouble connecting to the Pirates wireless network should call the IT Help Desk at 252.328.9866. iPhone/iPod Touch users can visit www.ecu.edu/cs-itcs/email/iphone.cfm.
Buccaneer is ECU’s secure wireless network, and is the default wireless network for laptops purchased by ECU departments for employees to access the INTRA domain. Monday’s name change will not affect users who routinely access the Buccaneer secure network.
