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. If you need more information send an email to either migliore (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it or eynard (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it.
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: you cannot access the AIRLab without being authorized, and you can't let anyone who is not authorized into the AIRLab.
In order to obtain access to any AIRLab site, you need to follow these steps. From their description it seems a lot of work, but it's not: just read the following instructions before starting (well, this should be a general rule...).
- First of all, it is mandatory that you carefully read the Safety norms and the AIRLab rules for AIRLab Users. These documents are written in Italian: if you aren't able to read them, ask the Advisor responsible for your Project to translate for you the parts concerning your work.
- You must become a registered user of the AIRWiki (if you are not). This AIRWiki page includes the instructions for that.
- You must fill in your user page with your personal data. Don't know how? Read here.
- 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 "Access Registration Form" from here (note: you can download it even if is specified "only from secretary's office"), 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 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 Bonarini, head of the AIRLab (User:AndreaBonarini). 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 Secretaries at the first floor of the Dipartimento di Elettronica ed Informazione (Ms. Caldirola and Ms. Viale); surprise appearances in his office are not very welcome.
- In a few days, your Access Registration Form will have been signed by professor Bonarini and returned to the Secretaries... 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 Informatics Section of the DEI. This operation will be managed by the Secretaries of Electronics and Information, and will require a few days more. Let's say that in a week from the day you left it to the Secretaries, your form should have all the required signatures on it; you can call or e-mail them for information about it.
- Finally, leave the signed Access Registration Form and your student's ID card to Ms. Ivanov (DEI, 3rd floor). In this way you will be registered as an authorized AIRLab user, and your ID card will get the ability to open the door of the AIRLab sites you requested. This step usually requires about a week.

HOW TO connect your laptop to the Internet
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. You will need to fill in this form, have it signed by the Teacher responsible for your Project, and return it to the network administrators' office (DEI, 1st floor, Sardi or Busnelli). Note that you will have to specify the MAC address of your network interface card: instructions about how to get it are given on the form.
NOTE: if you often work in AIRLab/Lambrate, you can also get an account to use the Linux PCs available there; this will give you a home directory (accessible from any of those PCs) and internet access. This is completely separate from access to DEI's LAN: you can require such an account by writing an e-mail to prof. Matteucci <matteucci (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it>.
