The Internet of Things (IoT) option for departmental and personal devices is the Encrypted Service. This service enables enhanced security for your devices. It also allows devices to connect that require a password (PSK) to attach to the network.
- Note for IoT Admins of departmental IoT devices: Devices without a pre-shared key or PSK need to be updated to the new encrypted service following this article's directions.
The legacy IoT service has been retired. Any new devices must be registered for the new encrypted IT service. If your device is connected using the Legacy Unencrypted Service you can follow these steps to convert to the new Encrypted Service.
