To access the wireless network from iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad/Mac OS X Lion devices it is required to import a configuration file (unfortunately Apple does not have a simple method to setup wireless enterprise networks):

There are different methods to make the file available to the device.

In case of computers with Mac OS X Lion, it can be done using a wireless network other than LIP, by PEN, external disk, CD, etc. By double clicking in the profile the config will be imported, and you will be prompted for your username and password. That's all that is required for the LIP wireless network to be available and active.

For iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad you can use the method of connecting to a different network and import the configuration file.

If such method isn't available you should connect the device to a computer and use the tool:

 iPhone Configuration Utility para Mac OS X
 iPhone Configuration Utility para Windows

that allow you to export the configuration from the computer to the device.
