1.2 Configuring eduroam
By default Windows 7 has a built-in wireless configuration service (WLAN AutoConfig), this
guide is written specifically for this service. To check if this service is enabled, follow the
instructions below:

Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre (icon) > Manage
Wireless Networks (under tasks on the left pane). If a list of Wireless Networks is
displayed (including eduroam) the WLAN AutoConfig service is enabled.

If the WLAN AutoConfig service is enabled you need to refer to the Configuring eduroam
with WLAN AutoConfig section.

If the Wi-Fi connection is managed by other software you need to identify which client is
managing the wireless. This can typically be done by identifying the applications running in
the taskbar. Once identified you need to refer to the manufacturer for information on 802.1X
EAP PEAP support and configuration instructions. In this instance, the remainder of this
document should be used for reference only!

1.2.1 Configuring eduroam with WLAN AutoConfig

The PEAP authentication method is built into the Windows 7 operating system.

Centre (icon) > Manage Wireless Networks (under tasks on the left pane).
