         YSU Secure Wireless Connect Guide (Part 2)
         Connecting to Cisco Clean Access


         Cisco Clean Access is a network logon system implemented in 2005 by YSU Network Services.
The purpose of Clean Access is to provide a safe and secure experience for you and your PC while using
services on the YSU network and on the Internet. Clean Access works through scanning your Windows-
based PC for potential computer security vulnerabilities. Potential security vulnerabilities such as missing
Windows Critical Updates, lack of anti-virus software, or old anti-virus definition files will have to be
resolved before using the YSU network.

To begin using the YSU network, you must install the Clean Access Agent, which will be available for
download after the initial connection to the YSU network has been established. The Clean Access Agent
will assist you through a series of processes in order to insure that your computer is protected and ready for
the Internet; this process is called remediation.

The Clean Access Agent is required to use the YSU network. Leaving the agent installed on your PC will
not affect other connections to Internet providers at home and through businesses. The agent simply sits
inactive on your PC until you connect to a Clean Access-compatible network. Also, the agent may be
uninstalled at any time. If you have uninstalled the agent, you will be prompted to reinstall again when
reconnecting to the YSU network.

                                                        Step 1: Open your favorite web browser

                                                        • Internet Explorer
                                                        • Mozilla Firefox
                                                        • Netscape 7




   Step 2: Logging in to download
   the Clean Access Agent.

   Click „Yes‟ to each
   of the Security
   Alerts

   Enter your YSU
   Directory Account
   username and
   password.

   Click „Log On‟

   * Your Directory Account
   ID and password is your
   MyYSU / WebCT logon ID
   and password.

                                          XP pre-Service Pack 2, you
