Connect Your Smart TV to the UTC Network

General instructions: 

Note:  If you are powering on a brand new TV for the first time, you may need to connect it to a network other than UTC’s for it to complete its out-of-the-box updates.  Phone hotspots are common solutions, or you may need to bring the TV to us in UC 212 for further assistance. 
  • Connect the your TV to the UTC (not UTC-Secure) wireless network. 

  • Locate the MAC Address (sometimes called Wi-Fi Address, Physical Address, or Internet Address).  It is always 12 characters long and can contain numbers from 0-9 and letters A-F.  It is most commonly in the Settings or Network Settings menu. 

  • Visit https://portal.utc.edu/registration/index.jsp#regMediaDevice on another device (phone or computer) and follow the instructions to enter the MAC address. 

    • Select Device Type
    • Enter Wired or Wireless MAC Address
    • Enter your  UTC ID and password
    • Enter your phone number
