Quick guide Remote access to lab computers
Students can have remote access to laboratory computers as part of courses and exercises.
You will receive information and access from your lecturer.
Access is via the Splashtop software.
If you have activated your account and would like to attend remote events, download the Splashtop Business software and log in with your access data. NOTE: You can only use the software once an account has been created for you by the university (you will receive an invitation by email)
You can see your current events under "Planned access". This list shows the computers that have been released for remote control for the current event.
Click on the "My Calendar" button to see a calendar of upcoming events for which you are registered.
A few minutes before the event, you will see a list of the computers that will be available for the duration of the event. Gray computers are currently switched off and can be switched on by clicking on the cogwheel (open settings) and then on "Activate". Please note that the activation process takes some time. If you receive an error message or the computer cannot be switched on, please use the web interface to switch on the computer at https://my.splashtop.eu .
Click on Refresh to see when the computer is available (blue display). You can now connect to the computer by double-clicking on it.
At the end of the event, the computers will disappear again and you will be automatically logged out of the computer.
