There are two logical disks on each beamline:

1. $user1 - This disk is used for setting up files, programs, etc
2. $data1 - This disk is used for data storage

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)

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 or use wireless. This will put you outside SLAC's firewall.
