To set yourself up in BMAD, you need to get:

  1. an EECS account
  2. a Corporate Time account
  3. added to the BSAC & BMAD domains
  4. a folder on PISANO-PROJECT

To access your EECS account space and PISANO-PROJECT folder on \\coeus, see the documentation of the Coeus page.

Getting an EECS Account

Setting up an EECS account will provide you with an IMAP email account (username@eecs.berkeley.edu) and 100MB of free disk space on \\coeus\home.  You can use more than 100MB, but a yearly fee will be charged for the disk space you use above and beyond the original 100MB.  Getting an EECS account will also give you access to the EECS domain of computers, which is the domain where the BMAD computers are located.  Hence, to access computers in BMAD you MUST have an EECS account.  To get your EECS account:

  1. Fill out the form on http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/idsg/forms/activate-account.html
    System Administrator's Email: jpvainio@eecs.berkeley.edu
    Account Fund: Al Pisano's Core Account (see Helen Kim for Account Number)
    GA's Email: helenkim@eecs.berkeley.edu
  2. Send the request
  3. When it is accepted, you must set your Windows AND UNIX passwords through CUSG.  To access many BSAC resources (such as Cadence), you MUST set your UNIX password, so don't forget this part.

Accessing Your EECS Account via the Web:

You can access your email via the Web (with your favorite Web browser) by following this link: https://imap.eecs.berkeley.edu/.

Setting Up Email Programs:

You can setup Outlook, Eudora, Pine, and/or Netscape to access your email from home or anywhere else.  Check out the appropriate program under the "Setting up IMAP email" on http://cusg.eecs.berkeley.edu/Help/docs/.

Accessing Your EECS Account:

See the documentation on the Coeus page.

 

Getting a Corporate Time Account

A Corporate Time account will let you schedule meetings with Al and others in BMAD.  It is the best way to get a hold of Al, aside from lassoing him between ERL and Etch.

To get an account:

  1. Fill out this form: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/idsg/forms/activate-calendar.html
    Recharge Account Fund: Al Pisano's Core Account (see Helen kim for Account Number)
    Recharge Account Fund Grant Administrator Email: helenkim@eecs.berkeley.edu

Accessing you Corporate Time Account from the Web:

To access your account on the Web: https://cs1.cs.berkeley.edu/calendar/ctime/login.cgi

Accessing you Corporate Time Account with the Netscape Calendar:

You can use the Netscape 4.76 integrated calendar to access your Corporate Time Calendar.  Follow the instructions on: http://cusg.eecs.berkeley.edu/Help/docs/calendar.html.

Accessing you Corporate Time Account with other Programs:

The company that makes Corporate Time is still trying to integrate it with the Outlook Calendar and other common email/calendaring programs.  So, for now, Outlook and Corporate Time don't play together (nicely, at least).

 

Getting Added to the BSAC & BMAD Domains

  1. Email Jukka-Pekka and ask to be added to the BSAC & BMAD Domains.  In the email, include:
    EECS email address: username@eecs.berkeley.edu
    Full name (e.g., Brian Bircumshaw)
  2. JP will add you to the BSAC & BMAD domains in a day or so.  This will give you access to BSAC & BMAD computer resources, including PISANO-PROJECT.

 

Getting a Folder on PISANO-PROJECT

This is where you should keep all of your research-related material.  I will set it up for you.  So, after you've gotten your EECS account:

  1. Email Brian Bircumshaw and ask to get a folder in PISANO-PROJECT.  In the email, include:
    EECS email address: username@eecs.berkeley.edu
    Full name (e.g., Brian Bircumshaw)
  2. I will set up a folder for you pretty promptly.  It will be located in \\coesu\PISANO-PROJECT\users\username

To access your PISANO-PROJECT folder, see the Coeus page.
