Exhibitor - Guidelines and Services - Complimentary Wireless Internet

Overview

The complimentary service should ONLY be used for non-mission-critical applications such as general web surfing and Internet-based email access.

WireAccess to the WiFi network may be sporadic and cannot be guaranteed as access is based on the volume of users.

McCormick Place Internet/Technical Services is committed to delivering the highest quality internet and networking services in the industry. Experience has shown that wireless service is inherently vulnerable to interference from other devices that utilize the same radio frequency spectrum (such as microwave ovens). It is for this reason that we highly recommend that if you plan to use the Internet to demonstrate or present products that are mission critical to your exhibit, a hard-wired service is the best way to go.

If you need help with selecting the proper Internet service for your exhibit, please call McCormick Place's internet sales staff at +1-312-567-8060 and they will be happy to assist you or refer to the order form in your Exhibitor's Services Manual.

REQUIREMENTS To access WIFI service:

•

Your device/computer must have an 802.11b/g WirelessNetwork Interface Card (Integrated, PCMCIA, or USB)

•

Set the SSID setting on your wireless card to "MCCORMICK" (Case sensitive without quotation marks)

Per our Terms and Conditions listed at www.mccormickplace.com/wifi.html, misuse of any wireless service may result in service interruption to yourself or other exhibitors and can lead to disconnection of your equipment. No refunds will be given.
