This setup uses the SonicWall NetExtender VPN client, which is an SSL client. The way the Lowell VPN setup is configured, it will route all network traffic through Lowell while the connection is in place. (There are ways to split the traffic up, but they are challenging to set up.)
If you are going to use NetExtender, please notify Lowell IT first.
Once you have a VPN connection into the Lowell network, you are ready to connect to the VNC server on dct-obs1 or dct-obs2.
Note: Contact your TO first to know which machine is free to use at the moment. All instrument control software and data access is identical on both machines.
