Workshops are offered throughout the academic year by the Office of Information Technologies and are available to PSU faculty, staff, and students at no cost. To register for classes, send email to mluebke@pdx.edu with the class and date you would like to register for. Please contact the workshop instructor if you have any questions.
Need directions? Please refer to the building locations for more information about where the workshops are held.
Starting on October 28, 2009, all PSU faculty, staff and students will be required to manage their Odin account (email, wireless, Blackboard, desktop or computer lab login) through OAM (Odin Account Manager). If you do not register your accounts through OAM, you may not be able to access email, file storage, websites, wireless, Blackboard and the PSU Information System.
Click here for more information and instructions on how to register your account with OAM.
You can get access to e-mail, Blackboard, library resources, and other resources with your PSU Computer account (or Odin account.) If you are a student who is registered for at least one credit or a newly hired staff or faculty, you can get a Odin account via the following method:
Webmail will be taken down and should be back up around 10:30am, 6/19. We are reverting back to the previous version of Webmail, since the issues with the upgrade could not be fixed at this time.
The most common problem with sending or receiving email attachments are size limitations and security filtering. This article explains why both might affect the sending of an email with an attachment.
Security Filters
For security reasons, the PSU mail servers will strip certain attachments from email messages. Attachments of these file types can contain viruses or other malicious software.
PSU offers wireless access through most of the academic and administrative buildings on campus. Most laptops and wireless PDA devices can connect to our network. To connect to the wireless network, you need a valid ODIN username and password or a temporary guest wireless login.
The easiest way to connect to our network is to connect to the unencrypted wireless network, "PSU." Once your machine is connected to that network, open an internet browser such as IE, Firefox or Safari. You will automatically be directed to our authentication page. Use your ODIN username and password to authenticate and you should be able to access the internet.
Non-secure wireless networking on Windows XP
Non-secure wireless networking for Windows Vista
Non-secure wireless networking on Macs
If you are having issues connecting, please contact the Helpdesk at 503-725-4357 or come visit us at SMSU Rm. 18. Guests on campus can request short term access to the wireless network by visiting the Helpdesk in SMSU Rm. 18 with photo ID to get a temporary login.
Secure vs. non-secure networks:
PSU offers two types of wireless networks: encrypted (secure) and unencrypted (non-secure). Due to the nature of hardware available to users, not every device is compatible with the secured network. OIT recommends that users who are able to use the PSU secure wireless network should do so if they are concerned about security over-the-air. Selecting the secured option will require compatible hardware as well as manual software configuration. Users who do not wish to make the software changes required or have incompatible hardware for secure wireless should use the non-secure network.
This article describes how to configure the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch mobile internet devices to connect to our secure wireless Internet connection in such a way that it stores your credentials on your device. You will no longer have to authenticate via the web interface (Cisco Web Authentication page) to gain wireless access while on campus. This is now the preferred wireless network to use on campus as it is more secure and easier to use once configured.
