Transcript iPAD SET UP - Surbiton High School

Setting Up your School iPad
A quick guide
1. Setting up iCloud
When you turn it on for the first
time, your iPad will take you
through a set up process which
will require you to have your own
iCloud account.
iCloud accounts are free and
necessary to access the iPad’s full
functionality.
If you already have an iCloud
account, you are welcome to use it
on your school iPad.
If you don’t have one, then please
create an account as part of the set
up process. We recommend that
you use your own email and not
the school email address.
Your iPad will still allow you to
send and receive school email.
This can be set up separately.
When naming your iPad, please
ensure you use your name and
surname.
2. Setting up Wi-fi
As part of the set up process, the iPad will ask you for
your wi-fi credentials.
If you do this at home, then follow the instructions and
use the username and password supplied by your internet
provider (usually printed on your router).
If you do this at school, then you must:
1) Select the correct wifi channel, which is
SurbitonWiFi, and then enter your school username and
password when prompted.
2) The iPad will the display a certificate which you need
to verify by tapping on the grey Accept button onscreen.
Your iPad is now connected to the internet and ready to
go.
It does not matter where you go through the set up
process in the first instance.
3.1 Setting up Meraki
Meraki is a mobile device
management system that allows
you to install and use apps and
resources that the school
purchases through volume
licensing.
You can still install your own apps
using your Apple ID. Meraki
simply puts in an additional
appstore populated with apps that
the school has purchased for you
to use.
Firstly, however, you must go to
the AppStore, search for Meraki
Systems Manager and install it
following the on screen
instructions.
3.2 Setting up Meraki
Open the Meraki app once you
have installed it. You must then
enroll your iPad to Surbiton High
School. The easiest way to do
this is by tapping on Use QR
Code and pointing your iPad’s
camera to this QR code:
Alternatively open
m.meraki.com on the iPad’s
browser – called Safari – and,
when prompted, enter our
Network ID:
023-815-6633
Then tap on label named
Enroll
3.3 Setting up Meraki
Once your iPad is enrolled, you will have access to all the apps and resources that
we as a school make available to you.
Note how one of the apps available to you is SecureLink. This will be one of the
most important apps for us, as it gives us access to all our files in our network. More
on the next slide.
4. Using SecureLink
Tap open the SecureLink app
and enter the following
information when prompted:
Server:
files.surbitonhigh.com
Username:
Your school network
username, eg. Jpicardo
Password:
Your school network
password
You will then have access to
all the files on the school
network. This means you can
open the documents, edit
them and save them back on
to the network if you so
wish.
5. Sending and receiving school email
Your iPad can be set to
send and receive school
emails.
In order to do this please

the document pictured
