What is the College of Engineering account?
The College of Engineering synchronizes all of its accounts with the University’s name.# account system, available at my.osu.edu. Your Engineering user account can be used to access: files, virtual & physical computing labs, printers, etc.
What is engineering technology services?
Engineering Technology Services maintains a secure perimeter around the CoE Network to help keep you and your data safe. Remote access can be provided to internal and private CoE computer systems, servers, and storage via Pulse VPN.
What is ETS desktop?
ETS provides and maintains remotely accessible virtualized desktop and applications.
Step 2: Acquiring the Microsoft Remote Desktop app
Next, you will need the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Mac App Store installed to be able to establish a direct remote connection to a office or research lab Windows computer on campus (as identified above in Step #1), or to the CoE student lab computers (via the “.rdp” files that can be opened by the Remote Desktop app).
Step 3: Starting the Microsoft Remote Desktop app
You will be prompted for access to your Mac’s microphone and camera, click on “Continue”. You DO NOT need to grant the app access. Simply click on “Deny” in the prompts (these settings can be changed later, if needed):
Step 4: Find a College of Engineering Lab Computer to connect to
Students have been given the ability to remotely access College of Engineering instructional lab machines, which have necessary software packages for courses. A web page has been created to assist students find a machine that is available.
Step 5: Starting your Remote Desktop connection to student lab PC
If the connection to the lab PC does not immediately start, manually start the connection by double-clicking on the new connection profile's button.
Step 6: Authenticating to establish Remote Desktop Connection to campus PC
You should be then prompted to log into your remote Windows computer, please make sure you include the COEIT domain postfix after your username, i.e. lastname.#@coeit.osu.edu, and enter your OSU account password in the appropriate fields. Then click on “Continue” to proceed.
Step 7: Difference between "Disconnecting" v.s. "Logging off" a Remote Desktop session
When you are done with your work on the remote campus Windows PC, you can either:
Remote Access
Central to the mission of CEMAS is to educate the next generation of electron microscopy users and experts.
How It Works
The key to delivering the speed and reliability needed for remote microscopy is a high-quality connection, with low latency and minimal jitter and packet loss. If the latency is consistently low enough, then the user can sit in a remote site anywhere in the world and feel a suitable response to operator commands.
First Remote Access Partners
Having identified an appropriate network solution, the next step in developing a remote microscopy capability was to prove the concept through a practical demonstration with a remote partner willing to work through the development process.
