If you choose to set up your Mac in an office location, please use “Guest Wifi” onsite instead of “JJWIFI” as there is an internet access issue with the Mac configuration software and “JJWIFI.” Assistance is available onsite at your local IT help desk.
  • To configure your Mac, you will use a temporary password received via email for your initial device login and data sync. If you did not receive a password, please contact your manager.
  • Please ensure that your PingID is set up in advance with your mobile device by visiting http://mfa.jnj.com.
