Connect to AirPennNet - Apple iMac or Macbook (macOS)
Connect to AirPennNet is a wireless network that delivers a wizard called JoinNow to assist University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, staff, and guests with a PennKey to configure and connect their devices to AirPennNet.
JoinNow can configure macOS in two different ways. If you have difficulty with one method, you can try the alternate one.
Method 1: App Method
Select ' Connect to AirPennNet' from the Wi-fi networks drop-down on the Mac's menu bar
Open a browser (preferably Safari) and go to http://www.neverssl.com or https://cloud.securew2.com/public/29559/AirPennNet/
Click the "JoinNow" button
An app will be downloaded. Click "Allow" and select the download in your 'Downloads' folder
Open the downloaded SecureW2 app
Type in your PennKey and password, and then select "Next"
Enter your computer's account password when prompted (or the password to an administrator account on the computer)
You'll be prompted for your computer's password again; select "Always Allow."
You're configured; if you're not migrated to AirPennNet automatically, select it from the Wi-fi menu on your Mac's title bar
Method 2: Profile Method
Select ' Connect to AirPennNet' from the Wi-fi networks drop-down on the Mac's menu bar
Open a browser (preferably Safari) and go to http://www.neverssl.com or https://cloud.securew2.com/public/29559/AirPennNet/
Click the "Configure Profile Only" radio button
Enter your PennKey and password in the fields provided
Click 'JoinNow'
A file named 'SecureW2.mobileconfig will be downloaded. Open your 'Downloads' folder and open it.
You'll get a prompt to open your System Preferences. Open the System Preferences from the Apple menu and select "Profiles."
In your profile list, select 'The University of Pennsylvania AirPennNet MobileConfig' (it should have a yellow triangle next to it) and click the "Install..." button
Enter your computer's account password when prompted (or the password to an administrator account on the computer)
You're configured; if you're not migrated to AirPennNet automatically, select it from the Wi-fi menu on your Mac's title bar
