SimPL/Server
Server Access
To set up the lab's server, please refer to the following steps:
- Connect your computer physically to MECH LAN, or VPN into myvpn.ubc.ca (look up UBC vpn instructions if needed).
- On your Windows workstation/laptop, simply map the share \\samba.mech.ubc.ca\MECHsimpl to your Network folder through logging into your MECH IT account.
If you do not have a MECH IT account, please create one via http://technicalservices.mech.ubc.ca/it-services/mech-it-account-management/.
If MECH IT account has been created but not registered, please complete the following steps:
- Log onto https://account.mech.ubc.ca using your CWL ID and password
- Click on 'Register' button and read the terms and conditions given followed by clicking 'I Accept'
- Click 'Update' button to ensure the backend system is in sync
- You will need to set your 'Windows' password (your CWL password will not work)
- Scroll down your account page to the 'Windows' section and click 'Set Password'
- Enter your password and verify and then click 'Submit' (cannot remember the actual button but is something similar!!)
- Again click 'Update' button to ensure the backend system is in sync
- Logout
Before doing any mapping, if you are using Windows, please fix a minor issue according to https://www.windowscentral.com/how-access-files-network-devices-using-smbv1-windows-10.
