MSSI General-Use Workstations

Within the MSSI Lab and Build Lab there are 8 General-Use Workstations that are available for any MSSI student to use. These workstations are located on top of the desks in the room and are labeled as "MSSI" on the front. These systems are connected to the MSSI Lab Network and contain most of the software you will need for your coursework along with plenty of other tools for doing your research.

When choosing a host/server to connect to, use the following format, replacing "XX" with a number between 00 and 07: MSSI-XX.mssi-lab.isi.jhu.edu

Only one student may be logged in to an MSSI machine at a time. If the system is currently in use, you will be notified when trying to connect. While you are able to kick other students off, please refrain from doing so. If you believe another student is kicking you off a lab system, please contact support and we will handle it accordingly.
