How do I set up the My Devices Portal?
Steps on how to add a new device to your MY Devices listing.
STEP 1: “My Devices” Portal
Login securely at Portal Setup with your UIC NetID and Common Password.
STEP 2: UIC Technology Solutions Acceptable Use Policy
You will need to read through and Accept the Acceptable Use Policy.
STEP 3: Add a New Device
To add a new device to your MY Devices listing you will need to know the MAC address of your device. To locate your MAC address for all major devices please see: How do I find the MAC address of my specific device?
MAC addresses are represented as a set of 6 pairs of letters and numbers, separated by colons (ex. AA:BB:CC:11:22:33). IT recommends checking manufacturers’ websites to learn how to obtain Mac addresses for particular devices.
- Enter a device name (example Xbox One)
- Enter the MAC address (sometimes referred to as the Physical Address or Device ID) of the device.
- Enter a description of the device (example John Doe’s X-Box One)
- Click Submit
a) My Devices Portal > “Manage Devices”:- After properly registering your device the status will show “Pending”. Your device is now ready to join the “mydevices” wireless network and will be useable immediately.
b) “Add Device”:
Example: Successfully Added Device
Example: Multiple Successful Devices
STEP 4: Marking a device as lost or stolen
