Zoom

The University of Augsburg has made the Zoom video conferencing software available for employees and students to enable studying from home and digital teaching during the Covid pandemic.

 

Here is a video tutorial on using Zoom with a browser:

 

 

Setting up WLAN

BayernWLAN

BayernWLAN has been available on the campus since mid-2017. It can be used by anyone (not only students) and users do not require any login details. On connecting to the network, you only have to accept the access conditions. Data traffic on BayernWLAN, the free Bavarian WLAN network without time and volume limits, is not encrypted. Use of the BayernWLAN is therefore not recommended for permanent use.

eduroam

eduroam (Education Roaming) is the better-known network on the campus. Thanks to our research cooperation with the DFN (German Research Network; “Deutsches Forschungsnetz”), scientific staff and students can use their login details to get online here in Augsburg, as well as at participating establishments throughout Europe. The municipal utilities here in Augsburg also offer direct access to the networks on the bus, tram, and in public places such as Königsplatz and Rathausplatz via eduroam.

Access is set up via software clients or network access certificates, which are installed on the device used. However, you only have to set up access once.

You need the VPN client to use all the university’s internal services (library search, lending, etc.) via the open internet.
