To add devices to the Spartan-Devices network, users must register devices in ClearPass before they can connect to the network. The website is only available from your laptop or mobile device while connected to the AU-Spartans network or from the Aurora University lab computers.
How ClearPass Works
ClearPass is a system used to register digital devices to connect them to the Spartan-Devices wireless network, enabling users to share devices with users on the network or access devices from other registered devices. Users manage devices and sharing from a website and each registered device is identified in the system by its MAC address. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each device.
