Introduction

In order to log onto the UCMerced wireless network, you need to have a UCMNetID. If you are a student, staff, or faculty member, you should already have a UCMNetID. Students who do not have a UCMNetID should visit the UCM Portal at http://my.ucmerced.edu for more information about obtaining your UCMNetID or resetting your password.

Software Requirements

In order for your Apple iPhone or iPod touch to connect to the UCMerced wireless network, please be sure your software is up-to-date by connecting it to iTunes to check the latest version. Only iPhones and iPod touches with software version 2.0 or later can connect to the UCMerced network.

Note: Since the procedures for both the iPhone and iPod touch are identical, they will both be referred to as the iPhone in this document.

Connecting to the UC Merced Wireless Network

Obtain the UCMwireless.mobileconfig File

1. The UCMwireless.mobileconfig file contains the settings you will need to connect to UCMerced. If you are currently on an iPhone, click here to download the UCMwireless.mobileconfig file. Otherwise, you may also download it on a computer and email it to yourself as an attachment to open on the iPhone.
2. Tap on the link for wireless setup and youíll be shown the Install Profile page like the one below:
   
3. Tap the Install button to continue.
4. A dialog window will tell you "Installing this profile will change settings on your iPhone". Tap Install Now to continue.
   
5. Type in your UCMNetID and tap Next when youíre finished.
   
6. On the next screen, type in your password and tap Next.
7. Once you see the Profile Installed screen shown here, tap Done to complete the setup process.
   
8. If your username and password were entered correctly, your iPhone will now automatically connect to the UCMerced wireless network.
9. The status icon at the top of your iPhone will now display the Wi-Fi icon to indicate that you are now connected to a wireless network.
   
   
10. To confirm that you are connected to the UCMerced network (and not the UCM-Guest network), go to the Home screen and tap on Settings to view the name of the Wi-Fi network youíre connected to.
    

Note: at anytime you see the Certificate screen, please tap on Accept Certificate
