Mobile Port Authentication ServiceMobile Port Authentication ServiceThis service provides authentication (password verification) and access control for mobile computer network ports secured by Karl Bridge firewalls or (new in May, 2004) Extreme Network switches throughout Penn State.
Mobile ports are Ethernet jacks around the University where you can plug in a personal laptop or other computer and get a high-speed connection. Yes, the ports aren't mobile, but your computer is. You must have a PSU Access Account to access the network when plugging into these.
The majority of these ports are managed by TNS, but some are maintained by individual colleges and campuses.
