# Subsequently, you must '''set up an AIRWiki page for the Project''' you are about to start working on (if someone else didn't already do that: check for that on the [[Projects]] page). Don't worry, it's very easy: just follow the instructions you find in the [[Projects - HOWTO]] page. When you have done that, remember to go back to your user page and put there a link to the page of your Project.

# Then, you have to '''download the [[Media:Modulo_registrazione_accessi_2009_con_allegato_30112009.pdf|"Access Registration Form"]]''', and fill it, specifying which AIRLab sites (see [[The Labs]]) you need to enter. Sign it and '''have your Advisor sign it''' too. Note that by signing the form you declare that you have passed the safety course offered by Politecnico (available online at [http://sicurezza.metid.polimi.it/]), and that you have read and will comply with:
+
#* the [[Safety norms]] of the AIRLab;
+
#* the document "Procedure generali di emergenza" of the Department, which is part of the form itself.
+
# Once the form is signed by you and your Advisor, it has to be verified and '''signed by professor [[User:AndreaBonarini| Bonarini]]''', Responsible for the safety of the AIRLab. This step has been made mandatory to check that people actually fill in their AIRWiki pages, as students tended to "forget" that :-( . To get your form signed by professor Bonarini, leave it to the Secretary at the first floor of the Dipartimento di Elettronica ed Informazione (Ms. Caldirola - tel. 3405).
+
# In one or a few days, your Access Registration Form will have been signed by professor Bonarini and returned to the Secretary... ''if'' you have registered as an AIRWiki user and filled in your user page. If you haven't, it ended in the trash bin and you have to restart from point 1.
+
# Provided that you passed point 7, your Access Registration Form have to be '''signed by the head of the Computer Engineering Section''' of the DEI. This operation will be managed directly by the Secretary mentioned above. Let's say that in a day to a week from the day you left it to the Secretary, your form should have all the required signatures on it; you can call or e-mail her for information about it.
+
# Finally, '''go personally with the signed Access Registration Form, the certificate of having passed the safety course, and your student's ID card to Ms. Ivanov''' (DEI, 3rd floor). In this way, you will be registered as an authorized AIRLab user, the guard at the entrance of the AIRLab will let you get in, and your ID card will get the ability to open the door of the AIRLab sites you requested.

If you own a laptop computer, you can request an authorization to connect it to the (wired) LAN of the Department of Electronics and Information (DEI). This allows connecting to all the online resources of the DEI and to the internet (including the possibility to access and download non-free scientific papers for which the DEI has a subscription). You have to ask the Teacher responsible for your Project, who will have to follow [http://intranet.dei.polimi.it/sir/prese.php this procedure].

In AIRLab you have free connection both wired and WI-FI.
 
+
Please note that you will have to specify the MAC (physical) address of your network interface card. This is done in this way:
+
* Linux: run the command '''ifconfig''' from a command prompt (shell screen). This command describes to you the physical network cards that your PC includes. The main one is usually called eth0: on the right of this name you will find (among other things) something like "HWaddr 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc". The 6 hexadecimal numbers separated by ":" are the MAC address.
+
* MAC OS X: see the procedure for Linux; the main network card here is usually called "en0".
+
* Windows: similar to the procedure for Linux, but using the command '''ipconfig/all''' instead of "ifconfig".

This page contains the things you need to know and do to be allowed to work in the AIRLab. It is especially targeted to students.

HOW TO become a registered user of AIRWiki

To become one of the registered users, you must request a user account for the AIRWiki. To do that, you can ask your Advisor or co-Advisor (the procedure to create a new user is described at the bottom of this page).

If you are a student beginning her/his work within the AIRLab, please note that you must be a registered user before you can even enter the Lab. You must also be aware that anything you put into the public layer of AIRWiki will be published on the internet and visible by all the world. Always keep in mind the warnings!

HOW TO get the authorization to access the Lab

Note: renewal for guests is not done through this procedure. The guest should go instead to Ms Laura Caldirola and start the procedure.

You cannot access the AIRLab without being authorized. You can get the authorization by following these steps:

  1. Read carefully the Safety norms and the AIRLab rules. Those documents are written in Italian: if you aren't able to read them, ask your Advisor.
  2. Become a registered AIRWiki user (see how at the bottom of this page). This also creates an empty personal page for you (you can reach it from here).
  3. Fill in your user page with your personal data and photo (read here how).
  4. Set up an AIRWiki page for your project you will be working on, if it does not exist yet (directions for that are here).
  5. Send an e-mail to Ms Laura Caldirola (laura.caldirola@polimi.it) requesting the access to AIRLab, specifying: (i) your advisor's name; (ii) the lab location (e.g., building 7 or building 21); (iii) the duration of your thesis or project (ask your advisor for this); (iv) your personal code ("codice persona") as a member of Politecnico di Milano.
  6. Send an e-mail to professor Bonarini (andrea.bonarini@polimi.it) declaring that you have read and understood the safety norms and the AIRLab rules.
  7. Get your personal Politecnico di Milano badge enabled for access to AIRLab by Ing. Fausto Berton (his office is at DEIB, ground floor). He will send you an e-mail message to ask you to go to his office to sign a paper and finalize the process. If you do not receive this message within three days, please contact him directly. [Note: this last phase of the procedure changed from 2016-11-30. Before, the access badge was different from the student's.]

It's done. Now, you are an authorized AIRLab student. Your badge should open the AIRLab doors. Hooray!

REMEMBER: to enter there you declared to follow the rules, and in particular to keep a proper behavior, be responsible and ... enjoy the AIRLab!

HOW TO connect your laptop to the Internet

In AIRLab you have free connection both wired and WI-FI.

HOW TO create a new AIRWiki user

Sysop users (sysop users are these; if you are curious about what being a sysop means, read here) can create new AIRWiki users. This is necessary, for instance, to introduce a student to the AIRLab. Provided that you are a Sysop, to create a new AIRWiki user account you must:

  • log in to the AIRWiki
  • go to the login/create account page
  • click on "create new account"
  • fill in the data of the new user (the username should comply with AIRWiki's convention of "NameSurname").

This procedure also creates the personal page for the new user, but 'does not' fill in such page. The new user will have to fill it in by herself (see here to learn how).
