Campus Technology does not require gaming console registration for basic functionality (game downloads/updates, accessing streaming media services, etc.). However, connecting to online matchmaking/multiplayer services requires advanced firewall configurations (e.g., Open NAT) that are unavailable by default on our campus networks. By registering your console's MAC address in the Network Access Portal, Campus Technology can allow your device to utilize these advanced firewall settings. Follow the steps below to register a new gaming console in the Network Access Portal for use on the EndicottDEVICE wireless or wired Ethernet networks: Device Registration Steps: Obtain the MAC address of the device you want to register. Most consoles have two MAC addresses: Wired (Ethernet) and Wireless (Wi-Fi). Campus Technology recommends a wired connection for the best performance with online multiplayer games, but both MACs can be registered. Please refer to your manufacturer's documentation for the latest instructions on finding your device's MAC address.
