To become one of the [[Registered users]], you must request a user account for the AIRWiki. To do that, you can ask your Advisor or send an email containing your name, the name of your Advisor and the name of your project to either migliore (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it or eynard (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it.

If you are a student beginning her/his work within the AIRLab, please note that you ''must'' be a registered user before you can even enter the Lab! You must also be aware that anything you put into the private layer of AIRWiki will be '''published on the internet and visible by all the world'''. So remember to be extremely careful while editing a page, unless you clicked the "discussion" tab on top and are therefore working in the private layer of the AIRWiki. Remember that you are personally responsible (even in penal terms, for example if you publish copyrighted material) for what you publish in the public layer; as every editing operation on the AIRWiki is logged, it's always possible to see who did what.

As a rule of thumb, while editing a Discussion page (i.e. a private one) on top of the screen must be written "Editing '''Talk:'''NameOfThePage". If the prefix "Talk:" is missing, you are editing the public layer instead, and you better know what you are doing :-)

On the other hand, anything you write in a "Talk:" page, i.e. anything you write after clicking the "discussion" tab on the screen, can be seen only by you and the other AIRWiki registered users. This means that they can still decide to clobber you if you ruin their work, but you cannot make a fool of yourself worldwide, nor receive letters from lawyers.

In order to obtain access to any AIRLab site (see [[The Labs]]), you need to follow these steps. From their description it seems a lot of work, but it's not: just read the following instructions ''before'' starting (well, this should be a general rule...).
+
You cannot access the AIRLab without being authorized. You can get the authorization by following these steps:
  
−
* First of all, it is absolutely necessary that you carefully '''read the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] and the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/613/5300/file/Regolamento_AIRLab.pdf Rules]''' for AIRLab Users. These documents are written in Italian: if you aren't able to read them, ask the Advisor responsible for your Project to translate for you the parts concerning your work.
+
# '''Read carefully the [[Safety norms]] and the [[AIRLab rules]]'''. Those documents are written in Italian: if you aren't able to read them, ask your  Advisor.
 +
# '''Become a registered AIRWiki user''' (see how at the [[Bureaucracy#HOW_TO_create_a_new_AIRWiki_user|bottom of this page]]). This also creates an empty personal page for you (you can reach it from [http://airwiki.ws.dei.polimi.it/index.php/People here]).
 +
# '''Fill in your user page''' with your personal data and photo (read [[HOWTO fill in your AIRWiki user page|here]] how).
 +
# '''Set up an AIRWiki page for your project''' you will be working on, if it does not exist yet (directions for that are [[Projects - HOWTO | here]]).
 +
# '''Send an e-mail to  [http://www.deib.polimi.it/personale/dettaglio.php?id_persona=262&id_sezione=&lettera=C&idlang=ita Ms Laura Caldirola]''' (''laura.caldirola@polimi.it'') requesting the access to AIRLab, specifying: (i) your advisor's name; (ii) the lab location (e.g., building 7 or building 21); (iii) the duration of your thesis or project (ask your advisor for this); (iv) your personal code ("codice persona") as a member of Politecnico di Milano.
 +
# '''Send an e-mail to professor Bonarini''' (''andrea.bonarini@polimi.it'') declaring that you have read and understood the [[safety norms]] and the [[AIRLab rules]].
 +
# '''Get your personal Politecnico di Milano badge enabled''' for access to AIRLab by [http://www.deib.polimi.it/ita/personale/dettagli/91386 Ing. Fausto Berton] (his office is at DEIB, ground floor). He will  send you an e-mail message to ask you to go to his office to sign a paper and finalize the process. If you do not receive this message within three days, please contact him directly. ''[Note: this last phase of the procedure changed from 2016-11-30. Before, the access badge was different from the student's.]''
  
−
* You must then '''get a registered user account''' (if you haven't got one yet). See [[Bureaucracy#HOW TO become a registered user of AIRWiki]] for details.
+
It's done. Now, you are an authorized AIRLab student. Your badge should open the AIRLab doors. Hooray!
  
−
* As soon as you have an AIRWiki account, you must '''fill in your user page with your personal data'''. To do that, log in to the AIRWiki (just use the link on top right of the [[Main Page]]), then click on the "people" link in the "navigation" tab on the left to go to the [[Special:Listusers]] page. There you will find a list of user pages: look for your own (yes, there it is!). Click on the link and fill in the page. The data you are required to put in are: first name, surname, "numero di matricola", name of the Teacher(s) you work with, link to the AIRWiki pages of the project(s) you are working on (see the following for this), and your photo. You can copy the layout of other user pages (some of them include a fine table for all the data) if you prefer: just go to the 'edit' tab of those pages and copy all that you need into the 'edit' tab of your page (I said COPY, not CUT: be careful not to alter other people's pages).
+
REMEMBER: to enter there you declared to follow the rules, and in particular to keep a proper behavior, be responsible and ... enjoy the AIRLab!
  
−
* Subsequently, you must '''set up an AIRWiki page for the Project''' you are about to start working on (if someone else didn't already do that: check for that on the [[Projects]] page). Don't worry, it's very easy: just follow the instructions you find here: [[Projects#HOWTO_add_a_new_project_to_the_AIRWiki]]. When you have done that, remember to go back to your user page and put there a link to the page of your Project.

* Then, you have to '''fill in the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/615/5306/file/Modulo%20registrazione%20accessi%202007%20con%20allegato%20071024.pdf Access Registration Form]''', specifying which AIRLab sites (see  [[The Labs]]) you need to enter. Sign it and '''have the Teacher responsible for your Project sign it'''. Note that by signing the form you declare that you have read the document "Safety norms for AIRLab users" (so be sure to ACTUALLY HAVE READ IT!).
+
In AIRLab you have free connection both wired and WI-FI.
−
 
+
−
* Once the form is signed by you and your Teacher, it has to be verified and '''signed by professor Bonarini''', head of the AIRLab. This step has been made mandatory to check that people actually fill in their AIRWiki pages, as students tended to "forget" that :-( . Send an e-mail at bonarini (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it with "access to AIRLab" as subject to ask him when you can go to his office for the signature.

* Now the Access Registration Form have to be '''signed by the head of the Informatics Section''' of the DEI. Just leave the form to the Secretaries on the first floor of the Department of Electronics and Information, and come back in a day or two (they will tell you exactly when).
+
−
 
+
−
* Finally, '''leave the Access Registration Form and your student's ID card to Mrs. Ivanov''' (DEI, 3rd floor). In this way you will be registered as an authorized AIRLab user, and your ID card will get the ability to open the door of the AIRLab sites you requested. This step usually requires about a week.

If you own a laptop computer, you can request an authorization to connect it to the (wired) LAN of the Department of Electronics and Information (DEI). This allows connecting to all the online resources of the DEI and to the internet. You will need to fill in this [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/1416/10885/file/presarete.pdf form], have it signed by the Teacher responsible for your Project, and return it to the network administrators' office (DEI, 1st floor, Sardi or Busnelli). Note that you will have to specify the MAC address of your network interface card: instructions about how to get it are given on the form.

== HOW TO create a new AIRWiki user ==
 +
Sysop users (sysop users are [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|these]]; if you are curious about what being a sysop means, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Sysops_and_permissions read here]) can create new AIRWiki users. This is necessary, for instance, to introduce a student to the AIRLab.  
 +
Provided that you are a Sysop, to create a new AIRWiki user account you must:
 +
* log in to the AIRWiki
 +
* go to [[Special:UserLogin|the login/create account page]]
 +
* click on "create new account"
 +
* fill in the data of the new user (the username should comply with AIRWiki's convention of "NameSurname").
  
−
NOTE: if you often work in AIRLab/Lambrate, you can also get an account to use the Linux PCs available there; this will give you a home directory (accessible from any of those PCs) and internet access. This is completely separate from access to DEI's LAN: you can require such an account by writing an e-mail to prof. Matteucci <matteucci (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it>.
+
This procedure also creates the personal page for the new user, but 'does not' fill in such page. The new user will have to fill it in by herself ([[HOWTO_fill_in_your_AIRWiki_user_page|see here to learn how]]).

This page contains the things you need to know and do to be allowed to work in the AIRLab. It is especially targeted to students.

HOW TO become a registered user of AIRWiki

To become one of the registered users, you must request a user account for the AIRWiki. To do that, you can ask your Advisor or co-Advisor (the procedure to create a new user is described at the bottom of this page).

If you are a student beginning her/his work within the AIRLab, please note that you must be a registered user before you can even enter the Lab. You must also be aware that anything you put into the public layer of AIRWiki will be published on the internet and visible by all the world. Always keep in mind the warnings!

HOW TO get the authorization to access the Lab

Note: renewal for guests is not done through this procedure. The guest should go instead to Ms Laura Caldirola and start the procedure.

You cannot access the AIRLab without being authorized. You can get the authorization by following these steps:

  1. Read carefully the Safety norms and the AIRLab rules. Those documents are written in Italian: if you aren't able to read them, ask your Advisor.
  2. Become a registered AIRWiki user (see how at the bottom of this page). This also creates an empty personal page for you (you can reach it from here).
  3. Fill in your user page with your personal data and photo (read here how).
  4. Set up an AIRWiki page for your project you will be working on, if it does not exist yet (directions for that are here).
  5. Send an e-mail to Ms Laura Caldirola (laura.caldirola@polimi.it) requesting the access to AIRLab, specifying: (i) your advisor's name; (ii) the lab location (e.g., building 7 or building 21); (iii) the duration of your thesis or project (ask your advisor for this); (iv) your personal code ("codice persona") as a member of Politecnico di Milano.
  6. Send an e-mail to professor Bonarini (andrea.bonarini@polimi.it) declaring that you have read and understood the safety norms and the AIRLab rules.
  7. Get your personal Politecnico di Milano badge enabled for access to AIRLab by Ing. Fausto Berton (his office is at DEIB, ground floor). He will send you an e-mail message to ask you to go to his office to sign a paper and finalize the process. If you do not receive this message within three days, please contact him directly. [Note: this last phase of the procedure changed from 2016-11-30. Before, the access badge was different from the student's.]

It's done. Now, you are an authorized AIRLab student. Your badge should open the AIRLab doors. Hooray!

REMEMBER: to enter there you declared to follow the rules, and in particular to keep a proper behavior, be responsible and ... enjoy the AIRLab!

HOW TO connect your laptop to the Internet

In AIRLab you have free connection both wired and WI-FI.

HOW TO create a new AIRWiki user

Sysop users (sysop users are these; if you are curious about what being a sysop means, read here) can create new AIRWiki users. This is necessary, for instance, to introduce a student to the AIRLab. Provided that you are a Sysop, to create a new AIRWiki user account you must:

  • log in to the AIRWiki
  • go to the login/create account page
  • click on "create new account"
  • fill in the data of the new user (the username should comply with AIRWiki's convention of "NameSurname").

This procedure also creates the personal page for the new user, but 'does not' fill in such page. The new user will have to fill it in by herself (see here to learn how).
