Login Instructions for New Laptop
Setup
1. Ensure the laptop is connected to the network if you're signing into it for the first time. It can be connected to a docking station or Wi-Fi. (Users working outside the hospital will need to connect to home WiFi or any network with internet.)
2. If connecting to the Wi-Fi, connect to the "Hospital_Employees" network. The password is "Nobis6500" (This applies to new laptops being used for the first time)
- If the laptop doesn't show connected, then the laptop needs to be whitelisted. It will prevent you from logging in. A ticket will need to be created.
- If you're unable to connect to Wi-Fi, please use a docking station or a network cable if you have a laptop that supports it.
- A whitelisted laptop avoids logging onto the network each time you visit the hospital. It should automatically connect.
