Enrolling Your Personal iPad or iPhone

Using Your Mobile Devices at the Capitol

A set number of Apple iPads are assigned to each house and senate office and are enrolled in order to connect to the Capitol wireless network and take advantage of TLC-developed iOS applications. Enrolled iOS devices also allow access to certain internal websites from external networks by using TLCAuto-VPN. Legislative staff are welcome to enroll their personal iOS devices to connect to the Capitol network and use enrolled features. For more information on enrolling your personal device, visit prep.tlc.texas.gov/ on your mobile device or contact your office consultant . If you have a council-issued iOS device you would like to have assigned to someone else, please contact your office consultant to reassign and re-enroll the device to ensure your personal information is no longer associated.

Connecting to Wireless Networks

There are two wireless networks ( Public-Capitol and Capitol ) that service the Capitol and its surrounding office complex.

The Public-Capitol network provides open wireless internet access to visiting members of the public. This network does not provide access to internal websites or applications. To access these internal resources, you must be connected to the Capitol network, which requires your iOS device to be enrolled. See the Enrolling Your Personal Mobile Device article on this page for more information. The Capitol network is a private network that is accessible to individuals with a Capitol user ID. When connected to this network, your mobile device has access to all of the internal websites, such as CapCentral and TLIS, and TLC-developed mobile applications. IMPORTANT: Personal wireless access points are not allowed in our environment. Personal access points (APs), hotspots, and wireless printers can adversely affect the Capitol wireless network and are considered unauthorized devices.

30-Day Retention Policy for Office Email Email on the Capitol network is not stored indefinitely. Outlook automatically deletes emails after 30 days. If you want to keep an email longer, you must move it to an archive folder. For archiving instructions, read the How to Archive article. All mail items are stored for 30 days, then moved to Recover Deleted Items From Server where they are available for two days before being permanently removed. Items the user deletes are moved to the Deleted Items folder for one-two days. Then they are moved to Recover Deleted Items From Server where they are available for two days before being permanently removed.
