IN A HECTIC WORLD

WE PROVIDE PEACE OF MIND

SMART CITY SERVICES

Smart City is the exclusive provider of all Internet, telecommunications and wireless services. At Smart City, it is our goal to provide you with the seamless communications that enhance each exhibit, setting it apart from the rest. Please visit one of our service desks and our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you with any of your communication needs.

BROADBAND WIRELESS

Smart City offers 802.11b/g WiFi networking throughout the public areas and exhibit areas and exhibit space.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET CONNECTED?

You will need a PC, laptop or PDA with WiFi 802.11b/g wireless networking capability and a standard Internet-ready browser on any operating system. No additional software is required. A credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) will also be required to purchase service. WIRELESS SERVICE

If you brought your own wireless equipment such as access points, wireless routers, cordless phones and other, you may find your equipment is not operational on the show floor. This is most likely due to interference from other wireless devices operating in your area. While your equipment may work beautifully in your home or office environment, the show floor is often saturated with conflicting wireless signals.

HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY WIRELESS CONNECTION?

Set the network name (SSID) in your wireless configuration to “Instant Internet”. We do not recommend using automatic settings or using the network name “ANY”.

Be sure to set your TCP/IP properties to “Obtain an IP address automatically” DHCP

Make sure your computer is not configured to automatically use a dial-up connection.

If requested, choose Infrastructure mode rather than ad-hoc mode.

Turn any encryption (Wep) OFF.

Make sure your battery is fully charged.

You will access the service with a login and password created when you purchase service.

IF I BUY A WIRELESS ACCOUNT CAN I USE IT ON MULTIPLE DEVICES?

No. Wireless accounts are purchased on a per device basis and accounts may not be transferred between multiple devices.

IS MY DATA SECURE?

Wireless transmissions, by their nature, can be intercepted very easily. Our “Instant Internet” wireless network was designed for ease of use, and data is not automatically encrypted or password protected.

CAN I USE INSTANT INTERNET WITH A PC OR PDA?

Page 12: 2010 Final Booth Exhibitor Registration Info Kit

Yes. You can use any devise that is compatible with 802.11b/g wireless technology and has a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox.

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE A WIRELESS ETHERNET CARD? You can purchase a WiFi 802.11b/g wireless networking card for most laptops at the Smart City service desk.

DO YOU SUPPORT VPN?

Yes, most VPN (virtual private network) connections are supported. If your company allows Internet remote access into the corporate network, then you may connect. If your company has a VPN, you should be able to run your VPN or secure tunneling client software.

CAN I CHANGE MY RATE PLAN?

To change your rate plan you must visit the Smart City serviced desk.

WHAT IF I HAVE PROBLEMS USING THE SERVICE?

Should your have problems contact Smart City help desk or call customer service at 888-4466911.

CAN INTERFERECNCE AFFECT MY WIRELESS CONNECTION?

Wireless service is inherently vulnerable to interference from other devices that transmit similar radio frequency signals or that operate within the same frequency spectrum. Smart City cannot guarantee that interference will not occur. Smart City does NOT recommend wireless service for mission critical services such as presentations or product demonstrations.

IP CONFIGURATION

The Convention Center is a static IP Facility. What this means is that if you have ordered any high speed internet service from Smart City you will need to set up your computer to work with the IP addresses assigned to your booth by Smart City. If you have not received your IP addresses for the show, please check the Internet line in our booth for a Smart City IP tag, or visit the Smart City service desk closest to your booth.

HAVEN’T CONFIGURED IP ADDRESSES BEFORE?

No problem – just ask a Smart City Customer Service Representative for a copy of your IP configuration instructions.

WIRELESS SERVICE

If you have purchased wireless service from Smart City, please understand we also experience challenges from interference. If you are not able to long on:

1) Please be sure you are typing your username and password correctly.

2)Please be sure that you have enabled your wireless connection and have chosen “Instant Internet” as your SSID
