Computing Resources for Visitors

To find a balance between easy accessibility and proper security measures for visitor computing, SLAC provides basic internet access (www, email without attachments, telnet, SSH) visitors via WYSE terminals with anonymous logins. Visitors are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptops for both conference and personal computing needs. Laptops are granted DHCP access to the visitor subnet via Ethernet connections or wireless (802.11b) access. All full workstations on site require SLAC computing accounts for login.
