Bring Your Own Device

CCCGUEST is a secured network connection that is available to employees utilizing Calhoun provided mobile devices. This network allows you to utilize services such as AirServer for device mirroring to teacher stations and other in-class services and integrations. This network is also available for instructors to use one personal iOS device in the classroom.

If you are provided with a Calhoun iPad, it will be preconfigured with the ability to connect to the CCCGUEST network and should connect whenever the network is available.

As an instructor with no provided device from the college, you may use 1 personal iOS device in the classroom. Once authenticated, the device will connect to the CCCGUEST whenever the network is available. At that time, you will have access to use AirServer and other in-class services and integrations.

How to log on to Calhoun’s Guest Wi-Fi Network with AirWatch and use Airplay for the classroom from your own iOS device:

  • Download Airwatch Agent from the App Store.
  • Open Airwatch Agent.
    (Once downloaded, the app is just called Agent.)
  • Select “Server Details.”

  • Enter the following information:

    Server: ds156.awmdm.com
    Group ID: CCC_BYOD_Guest

  • Log in with your C number as your username and your password will be the same as your password for Calhoun’s Portal. Select “Next.”
  • Select “Redirect & Enable.” You will be redirected to the iPad Settings.
  • Select “Install.”
  • A pop-up will appear prompting you to “Install Profile.” Select “Install Now.”
  • A warning will appear informing you that by installing Airwatch the local Airwatch administrator will be able to remotely manage your iPad. If you agree, select “Install.”
  • The profile has been installed. Select “Done.”

  • You will be taken back to the Airwatch Agent. A pop-up will appear prompting you to give permission for your iPad to now download FirstClass from the App Store. Select “Install.”

  • Go to the Settings App on your iPad.
  • Select “Wi-Fi” from the left column.
  • Wait until you see cccguest appear under “Choose a Network.” Then, select “cccguest.”
  • Once on the network, you will be able to mirror your iPad using AirWatch and the AirServer Connect app.

* Troubleshooting Options (2nd time users):

Check to see if you are connected to CCCGUEST. You will not be able to use Airwatch on any other network.

How to Mirror the iPad with AirPlay/AirServer Connect:

  • Download AirServer Connect from the App Store.

  • Open AirServer Connect.
    (Once downloaded, the app is just called Connect.)

  • Now on the PC that you want to mirror the iPad to, in the bottom right corner of the Task Bar, click the UP arrow.
  • Right-click the AirServer Icon and then select “QR Code for AirServer Connect…”
  • On the iPad select “Scan QR Code.”
  • Select “OK” when prompted to allow AirServer access to Camera.
  • Hold iPad up to the monitor so that the Camera can take a picture of the QR Code (It will take the picture itself!).
  • Then at the bottom of your iPad screen, pull the tab up.
  • Select “AirPlay,” then select the name of the computer that you are wanting to mirror to.

  • Enter the 4 digit code into the iPad that appears on the computer monitor.
    (*Every time you connect to a computer there will be a different code to enter.)

  • Make sure “Mirroring” is turned ON.
  • Your iPad should now be mirroring to your PC.

AirServer may not be installed in every classroom. If you wish to use these applications and they are not installed, please submit a request to the IT Help Desk at 256-306-2700 or helpdesk@calhoun.edu.
