Gateways

Most campus users will automatically connect using the General Access gateway and do not need to change any settings. 

If you are part of a team with special access, you will automatically be logged into the appropriate gateway. To switch between gateways:

  1. Click the blue globe icon in the system tray.
  2. Select another gateway from the drop-down menu. You will be disconnected from the previous gateway. 

If you do not have appropriate access to a selected gateway, the app will disconnect.
