== Accessing Meliora Hall resources remotely ==

The departmental resources that do '''not''' require a VPN connection to access are:

 * the various BCS & CVS websites

 * the BCS/CVS wiki server (obviously!)

 * the BCS/CVS calendar server

The departmental resources that require a standard UR VPN connection to access are:

 * the departmental printers

 * the "Opus" storage device

The departmental resources that require a "BCS-modified" UR VPN connection to access are:

 * any lab/office computers connected to the wired network

 * the BCS/CVS Retrospect backup servers

(NOTE: accessing a lab/office computer via VPN also requires some kind of remote access software (like VNC) be installed on both the office/lab computer and the computer being used to connect to it)

(NOTE: it *is* possible to back up one of our computers over VPN using Retrospect but due to speed/bandwidth issues I will *not* set this up for anybody unless it's an emergency)

The departmental resources that require a URMC VPN connection to access are:

 * the CVS printers located in the Medical Center

 * the CVSNAS3 and CVSNAS1a storage devices

 * any lab/office computers connected to the wired network

(NOTE: accessing a lab/office computer via VPN also requires some kind of remote access software (like VNC) be installed on both the office/lab computer and the computer being used to connect to it)

(NOTE: connecting to the URMC network via VPN will also give you access to the BCS/CVS printers in Meliora Hall as well as the Opus storage device)


 

BCS/CVS resources and remote access

There are three types of VPN (Virtual Private Network) accounts available to UR employees:

  • UR (River Campus) VPN - provides remote access capabilities to resources located on River Campus. Requires UR Duo two-factor authentication using NetID. Details can be found here: https://tech.rochester.edu/remote-access-vpn-tutorials/

  • "BCS-modified" UR VPN - a UR VPN account that's been modified to allow the user access to resources located behind the BCS departmental firewall. Requires UR Duo two-factor authentication using NetID. Details can be found here: https://tech.rochester.edu/remote-access-vpn-tutorials/. Once you have this operational, contact Chris Freemesser to have your account "BCS-modified".

  • URMC VPN - provides remote access capabilities to resources located within the Medical Center
