The City of Tallahassee provides wireless services in downtown Tallahassee and at the Tallahassee Regional Airport for citizens at no charge for usage. Thousands of people are using this service for business and education and real time statistics are available at http://wifiservices.hcs.net
Using the Digital Canopy is a simple process and if you have used a hotspot in other locations you will find it very similar. If you run into any problems you can call our support center 24 hours a day at 850-297-0551 x454
You can also verify that you connected properly by trying the below instructions:
To configure your wireless adapter:
Windows OS: Right-click on My Network Places/Network Neighborhood. Go to
Properties. Double-click Wireless Adapter. (Or, simply click on your vendor
icon for the wireless adapter in the lower right-hand tool bar.)
Then, follow these five steps:
The SSID should be set to "DIGITALCANOPY" (all capital letters).
A DHCP address will be allocated automatically.
The 'wireless encryption privacy ' WEP' option should be set to "off ".
The network type option should be set to "infrastructure" not "ad hoc"
(peer-to-peer).
Restart (re-boot) the computer. This is not a requirement with the Windows
XP system or Vista. You can now open a web browser, you will need to follow
the on-screen directions and click to accept terms of use.
Mac OS: Click on System Preferences from the Apple menu. Double-click the
Network logo. Under Show Menu:
Select Airport. Close window.
Open Internet connect. Turn on Airport.
At Network menu, select DIGITALCANOPY. You can now open a web browser.
Please note that certain ports are blocked, therefore some activities such
as MP3 and Microsoft Outlook will not execute unless a secure VPN connection
is used. Also, it is recommended that you use the driver and software
application associated with the vendor wireless PC-Card that you are using.
