There are several ways how to connect your devices to the internet. The most frequent one is of course wireless connection (WiFi), but you can also get connected by the fixed network (LAN). Our system of secured internet connection is implemented within the project Eduroam.

Our students and employees have the possibility to connect to the internet at a vast number of universities and other institutions, which are part of Eduroam project, using the same login as they would at the UP. You can find more information regarding Eduroam project at Eduroam webpage.

In order to connect yourself successfully to the internet you need to have appropriate technical equipment and login details (name and password).

Fixed Connection (LAN)

  • freely accessible sockets at Central Library "Zbrojnice" and at student's dormitory

Wireless Connection (WiFi)

  • you can connect to WiFi in most of university buildings, network name is eduroam (or eduroama, eduroamg)

What should I do before I connect to WiFi at UP?

Learn the rules

You should learn the rules for using university's computer network: Rector's directive (Czech only). Using VPN or WiFi you are becoming part of university network. You should not do anything that would cause harm to your own and other student's devices.

Have a secured device

First, you must have an antivirus program installed on your computer (Avast!, AVG, etc.). By using insufficiently secured device on the network you can endanger not only your own device, but also devices of other users. You can get more information at Network and antivirus security

Check your login information

You need to have login and a password set up in order to access wireless internet network eduroam. Your login name is your Portal ID login to Portal UP, which should look like PortalID@upol.cz. Notice: This is not your e-mail address.

  • Studenti UP - Studenti mají možnost si Portál ID vyhledat v Kontaktech.
  • Zaměstnanci UP - Zaměstnanci své přihlašovací jméno zjistí od svého správce počítačové sítě.
  • Hosté UP:
    • Uživatelé z institucí zapojených v projektu eduroam používají jméno a doménu podle pokynů své organizace. Nastavení vlastností připojení však musí přizpůsobit podle návodu platného na UP.
    • Pro hosty UP (nečleny eduroam) a pro případ konferencí existuje tzv. hostitelský účet upol-guest, jehož heslo se pravidelně mění. Kontaktujte správce počítačové sítě příslušné části, kde se chcete připojit, případně CVT.

Heslo pro přístup do sítě eduroam si studenti a zaměstnanci UP vytvářejí sami. Po přihlášení do Portálu UP vyhledejte odkaz Upravit můj profil –> Změna hesla pro WiFi, LAN a VPN (=Virtual Private Network).

Access to the UP network via VPN

You can usually access the UP network only from Palacký University premises. However, if you´re on the road or you prefer studying at home, then you have the perfect opportunity to access the university network from anywhere in the world by VPN (Virtual Private Network). VPN allows us to access any database or informational system, which are for security and licence reasons available only from university premises, as if you were somewhere at the university.

What can VPN be used for?

  • access to the electronic information resources prepaid by UP
  • running a client in SAP or STAG
  • access to university e-mail using a mail client access to *the MS network (possibility of using a shared printer, network drives…)
  • protected, encrypted access to resources in our network

How does VPN work?

Your computer establishes a connection with the university VPN server, which verifies your credentials. A special kind of so-called tunnel connection is then established between your computer and the server. In this connection all the data that are browsed are encrypted and therefore protected against eavesdropping during transmission. Our server decrypts incoming data and passes them on. Secure data transmission is one of the indisputable advantages of VPN. During the VPN connection, your computer uses an IP address which is assigned from our address space. From the outside, it looks as if your computer is directly connected to our network.

Assigned IP addresses

The UP computer network uses the address space from 158.194.0.0 to 158.194.255.255 (Class B address). If you connect through VPN, your computer gets an IP address which will begin with the digits 158.194. x.x.
