WiFi

Welcome to the OC Fair & Event Center Public WiFi Network.

The OC Fair’s wireless network is not secure in any manner. Information sent from or to your laptop can be captured by anyone within range with a wireless device and the appropriate software.

THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARD MACHINES, CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS, VPN NETWORK CONNECTIONS OR EMAIL PROGRAM CONNECTIONS. THE OC FAIR & EVENT CENTER WILL NOT SUPPORT THESE TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS NOR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USAGE THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF INTERNET SURFING.

• Our wireless network is completely open. Please surf at your own risk. Only connect to access points that begin with “OCF-WIFI”.
• OC Fair employees are not able to provide technical assistance.
• The OC Fair makes every effort for very high coverage but makes no guarantee that you will be able to make a wireless connection from your physical location.
• The OC Fair assumes no responsibility for the safety of equipment, configurations, security or data files resulting from connection to the wireless network.
• If you make changes to your laptop’s configuration, make sure that you are able to change them back so that you can keep your computer as safe as possible.

If your computer cannot see an “OCF-WIFI” wireless network access point or if you have a signal, reached our login page but you cannot get a web page to load, please use the checklist to find a possible cause:

• Does the wireless network you are connected to begin with OCF-WIFI?
• Open a browser window and log in with your username and password before you try to do anything else. You must be logged in before web-based programs will run correctly.
• Search for a stronger WiFi signal if possible; it could be that the access point nearest you is congested or has a weak signal to your location.
• Are your wireless card settings correct? Is your wireless card enabled (can you browse and see wireless access points)?
• Is your card an 802.11b or 802.11g card? We only support B or G. 99% of notebooks have one of these types installed.
• If applicable, check your firewall settings to see if that may be limiting access.
• Make sure you have your browser homepage set to something; don’t have it set to a blank page
• YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE OUTLOOK/EMAIL PROGRAMS TO GET EMAIL OR VPN INTO OTHER NETWORKS. ONLY WEBMAIL WILL WORK CORRECTLY.

THE NAME AND PASSWORD YOU WILL RECEIVE IS CASE SENSITIVE. USERNAME IS ALL CAPS AND THE PASSWORD IS LOWERCASE.
