- Operating System and available space
- Most of the beamlines data collection computers are Alpha/Compaq stations
running OpenVMS operating system. There is no quota on the disk, so users may
collect as many data files as they wish.
- Disks
- There are two logical disks on each beamline:
- $user1 - This disk is used for setting up files, programs, etc
- $data1 - This disk is used for data storage
- Internet Address
- All the beamline computers are on internet. The IP address looks as the
following: s073.slac.stanford.edu (replace s073 with any other computer node
name)
- FTP

- Additional Ethernet Connection
- Certain capabilities exist to connect additional computers to the
ethernet. If you are interested to attach a computer (your own) to SSRL's
network, you may use DHCP connection(red cable) available at most of the
beamlines. This will put you outside SLAC's firewall.
