The terminal server is a program that gives you access to a Windows computer Desktop. This allows you to use some software that you don't have in your own computer (Materials Lab, Above Acrobat Professional, SciFinder, Microsoft products, Gauss View, Gaussian, and others).

To have access into it you will need to have an account (ask Martin for one)

How to get to the terminal server:

from a Linux PC you need to use the rdesktop, to the terminal server (10.0.7.248). There are different options that you can use according to your needs.

You might use the command:

rdesktop -g1024x768 -kes -b 10.0.7.248:3389 &

or you may prefer:

rdesktop -b 10.0.7.248 -g 90% -k es -r disk:name=/home/username/

-b: Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than using higher-level drawing operations. -g: Desktop geometry (WxH). If geometry is the special word "workarea" -k: Keyboard layout to emulate (e.g en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv ) -r disk: Redirects a path to the share (your machine), a directory called name will appear in "your computer" If using -u username, would connect to the terminal server with such username.

from a Windows PC:

* connect to remote desktop (Todos los programas -> Accesorios -> Comunicaciones -> Conexión a Escritorio Remoto)
* enter the IP of the Terminal Server: 10.0.7.248:3389


Programs on the Terminal Server

  • Materials Lab
  • Adobe Acrobat Professional Allows you to create pdf files.
  • SciFinder
  • Pearson's Crystal Data
  • Microsoft products: Microsoft Office, ChemOffice, ChemBioOffice, EndNote...
  • Gauss View
  • Gaussian
  • Mathematica
  • MathLM
  • MATLAB
  • Maple
  • Chemcraft
  • Cygwin

and others

How to ...

  • Change the language of the PC: The Default language into terminal Server is EN, but into in the toolbar you have a box,there you can change your language, you only have to click and select (or add) your language to do your own things.
  • Move files between different PC's: to move files from kimik or your PC to the terminal server, you may want to use the WinSCP
