Logging onto exflgateway¶

Most detector control and online calibration will require you to work from a host within the control network. This procedure describes how to log into exflgateway. From there you can access control network hosts if you have the correct privileges.

Note

Your account has to be registered to access the control network. You can do this by filling out this form, and obtaining the relevant signatures

if not using a DESY VPN connection, log on to bastion.desy.de if you need X forwarding:
```
ssh -X username@bastion.desy.de
```
For using port forwarding with a Jupyter notebook
```
ssh -L XXXX:localhost:XXXX username@bastion.desy.de
```
where you replace XXXX with a port number, e.g. 7999.

Note

Use ssh -Y on MacOs computers.

log on to exflgateway; you can do this directly when using a VPN connection:
```
ssh -X exflgateway
```
or for port forwarding
```
ssh -L XXXX:localhost:XXXX exflgateway
```
be sure to use the same port as before.
