Entertainment and Gaming Devices

To use entertainment and gaming devices like Xbox, Playstation, smart TVs, streaming players, smart speakers, ADA devices, and other network-required devices, students must register them online at: 

tuwac.tcs.tulane.edu.
 

What do you need to register? Students must have the device's 12-digit physical (MAC) address typically located on the back or side of the device or under its settings menu. A physical (MAC) address consists of numbers and letters grouped into pairs separated by colons or hyphens: 00:A0:D5:1F:2E:32.
 

Do not register computers, tablets, and phones. Instead, connect these devices to the Eduroam (internet) network. Please visit it.tulane.edu/wifi for more information.
