Diagram of the network setup

Alpha Network

You can login to Alpha network only when use is approved by a RADS faculty member. Some users need to use the network (or some machines in the network) for measurements experiment. In such cases, they can reserve the resource for exclusive use during such times. Reservation is valid only for 15 days until further renewed. Since login to network is not prevented during reservation time, do check the message of the day that is displayed at login and refrain from using the network if asked to do so during those reserved times. Note that some users are running experimental kernel. The current unmodified kernel will display the following with 'uname -a' command: 
Linux alpha-11.sce.carleton.ca 2.2.16-3 #1 Mon Jun 19 18:10:14 EDT 2000 i686 unknown
If it displays anything else, you may reboot the machine if you have either booked the machine for your own use or it has not been booked by other user during that time.

Beta Network

Beta network is for use as approved by Prof. Woodside

Gamma Network

The rules of using the network are the same as for Alpha Network

Delta Network

This network comprising of several sparc-2 workstations, is the original "quiet" network. This network is currently not representated on the diagram. The machines have very limited Solaris Operating System installed since the disks are too small to support full development environment. All programs that you intend to run must be compiled outside this network. The network is primarily used for running Orbix programs as presently we do not have Orbix for Linux.

Presently the machines on this network are: 

anik, alouttte, bellatrix, helicon, mira, sputnik, sigma, mariner
