For students and staff, the Computer Centre operates a wireless network (Wi-Fi) at all HSB locations.

Two Wi-Fi networks are available for different purposes, with the names “eduroam” and “Hochschule-Bremen”:

eduroam

By participating in the roaming service of the “German National Research and Education Network” (DFN), Bremen University of Applied Sciences is connected to the international educational roaming project. Via eduroam, users at participating institutions receive network access without additional registration. This means that all members of the Bremen University of Applied Sciences can also connect to the internet at other eduroam locations worldwide with their user account.

A valid user account from Bremen University of Applied Sciences is required to log on to the “eduroam” Wi-Fi. Students and employees of other universities log in with the user ID of their home institution.

All students and staff have access to data services of the Hochschule Bremen, as well as to the internet via the Wi-Fi “eduroam”. For security reasons, not all internal network services are accessible from this Wi-Fi.

Access to the Wi-Fi “eduroam” is secured via a WPA2-encrypted connection.

Login procedure: 

The connection to the Wi-Fi “eduroam” is made via the login service www.easyroam.de. There, certificates (profiles) for your devices are generated and made available after a successful login with the corresponding app. Further information on easyroam can be found in the DFN configuration instructions and the Wiki pages of the HSB.

Note:

For the initial installation of the easyroam app under Windows (Download: https://www.easyroam.de/winapp/easyroam.msix) an Internet connection is required (e.g. LAN cable, home WLAN or mobile phone/hotspot) is required.

Hochschule-Bremen

The Wi-Fi network “Hochschule-Bremen” is freely accessible to all, unencrypted and provides access to our website. It is also used to activate user accounts for newly enrolled students and as internet access for guests who do not have access to eduroam.

At HSB you can print, scan or copy documents at the following locations:

• In the sub libraries of the State and University Library on the Neustadtswall Campus and on the Werderstraße Campus.

The devices for making printouts and copies are equipped with the app of the payment service provider Kuario. In order to use it, registration with Kuario is required. You can find more information on the website of the State and University Library.

You can use the Mensacard to make cashless payments in the dining halls of the Studierendenwerk Bremen, among other places. Further information on the Mensacard

The room finder will help you find your way around HSB. In addition to maps of the three campuses and room plans of the individual buildings, you will also find information on barrier-free access, among other things.

With GigaMove 2.0 you can share files up to a size of 100 GB with others.

Via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) you can connect to the university network via the internet from off campus. This allows you to access university-internal servers and use access-restricted resources of the State and University Library.

To establish a VPN connection, you need the Cisco Secure Client. The use is free of charge for HSB students.

Instructions: Setting up a VPN connection

The computer centre sets up a personal directory for each user to secure personal data. This directory is located on the file server "samba.hs-bremen.de" (IP address: 194.94.24.158) and is accessible via various services both on campus and from outside.

Access on campus

On campus, the personal directory can be accessed via the service CIFS (Common Internet File System) – Windows network share. In the computer rooms of the computer centre, your directory is offered as drive "U:".

You can also set up this directory on your personal device via the WiFi.

Access from outside

Access to the CIFS service from the file server is only permitted on campus. Alternatively, you can also set up the personal directory as a network drive via a VPN tunnel.

Login: username (without @hs-bremen.de)

Example for the assignment of a drive under Windows (CIFS):

A person with the login name "xmei" wants to access their personal directory from a Windows computer:

• Programs → Windows Explorer → Tools → Connect network drive
• Folder: \\samba.hs-bremen.de\xmei
