Creating a Registered User Account

Note: If you are a Windows user, you may find that the arrow keys will not function. If this is the case, use the tab key to move from field to field on a page; the space bar to move forward a page and the minus key (-) to move back a page.

* Creating a Registered User Account *

To begin to use the CCNA you will have to set up an account. To do this, you need to log in as "guest" (without the quotation marks).

Once you are on the Guest Welcome Page, press the Enter/Return key when "Enter or Return" is highlighted. On the next page, get the highlight on to "Set up a Registered User Account" and press the Enter/Return key.

The information that you see on the next six pages must be read. These are the rules and regulations of the CCNA and form the user agreement that serves as the acceptable use policy for the Calgary Community Network Association. Please ensure that you read these rules carefully as any deviation from them provides grounds for account deletion (removal). Pressing the space bar will eventually lead you to page 7 where registration begins.

The Calgary Community Network Associations online registration form allows you to set up an account online. To fill out the form, you move from field to field by pressing either the down arrow key or the tab key.

Please note, you must be factual regarding the information you provide, i.e. name, address, etc. Bogus usernames will lead to deletion of the account. You must provide all information called for, as accounts will not be created without the information and identification requested.

Once you have completed the form, use the down arrow or tab key to put your cursor over the "I Agree" link (hit return or enter or right arrow key). Please note that on the telephone field, the 403 area code is an auto entry field. In effect, you will have to tab past this field to enter the rest of your telephone number.

Watch the third line from the bottom of your screen. It will tell you that something is happening. Eventually a screen will appear entitled:

"Account Creation"

It will show the particulars you typed in, followed by :

"Select the Username for your account from the list below"

An asterisk will show against one of the usernames. This is the one suggested. To select one of the other username alternatives, use your down arrow or tab key to place the cursor against the desired username then press the Enter/Return key. This will move the asterisk to your chosen username. Once chosen WRITE IT DOWN. You must now use your down arrow key or tab key to move down into the Password area.

Your password can be 5 to 8 characters (letters, numbers, symbols, etc). Try to keep it simple and easy to remember. You will be asked to enter your password (it will not show on the screen, rather, asterisks' will show up for each key you press), then hit the down arrow key or tab key to enter the password again. WRITE IT DOWN. Remember that your password and username are case sensitive. Once you have done that, hit the down arrow key to move to the "create account" link.

Press Enter/Return or the right arrow key to submit the application. If you have done everything correctly, the next 5 pages will instruct you to do certain things. These requirements must be completed, within the time periods stipulated, otherwise your account will not be created.

This completes registration.
