Who is this page for
The information is intended for IT staff working in Colleges, departments and institutions at the University.
It explains how to manage institutionally-owned devices on the UniOfCam-IoT wifi network. These are devices owned by the institution, and not an individual, that are unable to connect to eduroam using eduroam Institutional Tokens. At this time, the devices can connect to the internet but cannot talk to one another on the local network. A typical usage scenario could be cloud-managed devices such as building sensors.
