What is the Cisco Clean Access Agent?
The Agent is a small program that will run in the Windows and Mac system tray (by the clock), and will be used to login to the network for Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS X operating systems only. In order to use the wireless network with a Windows or Mac machine, this Agent must be running. After the initial download and install of the Cisco Clean Access Agent, you will use only that Agent to get network access (again, for Windows and Mac machines only). IMPORTANT NOTE: Macintosh users are now required to run the Cisco Clean Access Agent, and no longer use a web browser to log in. Please see the “Get Connected” section of this site for more information. The Agent is not spyware, it doesn’t record what you are doing online, or what is on your hard drive. It is simply used to connect valid users to the network.
The Cisco Clean Access Agent runs on your computer and acts as an interface to the Zoned Network. If your computer is connected to the ADND domain, you will not need to authenticate to the Zoned Network. If your computer is not connected to the ADND domain, you will periodically see a pop-up asking for your NetID and password. This is the easiest and recommended way to connect to the Zoned Network. *Note: Installing the Cisco Clean Access Agent will NOT affect or interfere with your ability to connect to any other networks.
