Overview

Computing support for the H1 Collaboration Meeting includes Details are explained below.

Public access computer terminals (Sun Ray)

 A computer terminal room with two dozens Sun Ray terminals (X clients) is available in Building B, room B 03 A-C. Opening hours vary from day to day, according to the meeting programme, and start every day at 8:30. It is closed on purpose during the opening plenary session and open during the excursion afternoon on Wednesday.

Instructions for login to the Sun Ray terminals are available at each terminal in the room. One supervisor from CPPM is permanently available in the room to help you.

Available programs include Netscape, Secure Shell, Pine, Mozilla.

Ethernet access points

 Opening hours are identical to those of the Sun Ray room (see above). DHCP server access must be used for obtaining a valid Internet Protocol (IP) address (see next paragraph).

DHCP server access

No static addresses will be allowed for guests of the University during the Collaboration Meeting. Therefore your computer must obtain a dynamic address through the DHCP protocol, which is standard, if you choose an option like "obtain IP address automatically" or "obtain IP address from server".

If you cannot use DHCP correctly for any reason, you may still use the public terminals in the lecture building.

WLAN access point

 A WLAN access point is provided almost continously in parallel to the conference (typically 8:30 to 18:00), but cannot be granted while there is no meeting ongoing and the public terminal room is closed.

IP address distribution happens through the DHCP protocol as for wired Ethernet access.

The WLAN emitter covers, according to our experience, amphitheatre 8 and near surroundings, like seminar room 01B, 02B, 03B and sometimes parts of amphitheatre 9.
