Connecting to RPStaff

The RPStaff network is reserved for staff members who bring a personal device. Steps to connect your personal device to RPStaff will differ depending on your device. In all cases, you will use your Active Directory credentials to connect. This is the same username and password used to login to a computer within the district. RPStaff uses 802.1x and RADIUS for authentication. It is not necessary to understand how these protocols work in order to connect to RPStaff. However, it may be helpful to know how RPStaff authenticates users when searching for information for your specific device type.

Considerations
- iOS devices (iPhone) have a feature called 'Wi-Fi Calling' that uses an IPSEC VPN tunnel which gets flagged by our iBoss web content filter as a high-risk device. The result is that your device will be temporarily blocked from reaching the Internet on our network. Your experience on RPStaff might seem slow or spotty. If you experience this, try turning off 'Wi-Fi Calling' on your iPhone.
- Go to Settings -> Cellular -> Wi-Fi Calling and switch off Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone
- Depending on the Internet sites you plan to visit, you may need to download and install the iBoss Certificate on your device.
