Wireless Authentication Passthrough

For the convenience of mobile device users who want to utilize the UH Wireless Network, as well as frequent wireless users, you can now setup a passthrough for the wireless network. Doing this will allow the device to bypass the normal wireless login process and immediately access the wireless network. (Note: Passthrough is not currently enabled for Kauai CC, Windward CC, UH West Hawaii, and UHMC Hana.)

To setup a passthrough, go to http://www.hawaii.edu/wireless/pt. To complete the passthrough setup process, you will need:

  • Your UH Username and password
  • The MAC Address of your device
  • A description of your device

Passthroughs expire after 1 year, and each user is allowed a maximum of 10 passthroughs to be setup at a time. Passthroughs are registered under your UH Username, and you are responsible for the activity of these devices while they are connected to the UHM wireless network.
