Our school is connected to eduroam

eduroam is an international project to promote mobility and roaming in national research and education (NREN) networks. In the Czech Republic, this project is under the umbrella of CESNET. Our school joined the project in 2020. This was another step towards improving the quality of the institution’s study and prestige.

One account. Anywhere.

A registered subscriber can use this wireless network (wherever available) with a single user account. The account is managed by the home (founding) organization.

Using roaming is simple, a properly configured subscriber device connects automatically as soon as the eduroam network is available. Similarly to roaming connections to mobile networks abroad. Hence the acronym: education roaming.

The service is free for all participants.

Activation of eduroam account

Eduroam uses a username consisting of two parts – the username itself and the realm. For the username, you are accustomed to from other school systems, you will add the @ sign and the realm gstelc.cz when roaming. You will also need to set your eduroam password before you can use roaming.

Set up user devices to connect to eduroam

For a secure connection to eduroam, it is not enough just to enter a username and password. You must also set up a certificate check, the easiest way to do this is eduroam CAT, see documentation on eduroam.cz.

For manual setup, you’ll need the following information:

network name (SSID): eduroam
connection protocol: 802.1x
security and encryption: WPA2/AES
verification: PEAP (alternatively TTLS)
internal authentication protocol: MS-CHAPv2
the name of the RADIUS server: rad.gstelc.cz
certification authority: ZeroSSL
The IP address is assigned automatically via DHCP

Covered spaces

Eduroam is broadcast in all classrooms. The surrounding area of the school is also covered. The school is accessible during school hours.

Filtering traffic

The operation of school pupils is filtered in accordance with the laws of the Czech Republic. Visitors are not affected in any way except for outgoing SMTP traffic filtering (TCP / 25), use SMTPS (TCP / 465) or Submision (TCP / 587) services to send mail.

Support

Users of our school can contact e-mail lancova@gstelc.cz or phone +420 561 110 169.

Visitors with an eduroam account should seek support primarily from their home institution, the one that provided the account.
