^h1. Starting the LCLS Home Screen from Windows

This page provides instructions for logging in to the LCLS control system. These instructions assume that you are using a PC running Windows. Instructions for Mac Users click here or Linux Users click here.

For special instructions on how to bring up the LCLS Home screen on a CUD click here.

For first time users, click here for configuration information.

Conventions

$ represents the command line prompt. Type the text to the right of the $ on the command line.

Starting the LCLS Home Screen

Make sure that xwin32 is installed and running. If it's running you will see a blue X logo in the tray at the bottom right corner of the Windows screen.

Launch SecureCRT or putty and connect to host mcclogin.slac.stanford.edu. If a Security Warning pops up, click Accept & Continue. Log in with your Unix username and password.

At the prompt on mcclogin, type

ssh physics@lcls-srv01

or 

ssh lclsops@lcls-srv01

or 

ssh acclegr@lcls-srv01

depending on which group account you were added to in Step 2 above. If you see a prompt for a password, something went wrong and you need to contrack Ken Brobeck.

Launch LCLS Home Screen. At the prompt, type:

lclshome

If you don't want to type "ssh <groupname>@lcls-srv01" and "lclshome" every time you connect to the control system, click here and follow the instructions for LCLSHOME Short-Cuts.

Development System

Login to lcls-dev2 with

$ ssh -X -Y username@lcls-dev2.slac.stanford.edu

Find out what shell you are running by typing echo $SHELL. Your shell will be either tcsh or bash.
ex:

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

I am running bash.

If you are using tcsh, type this commend to enter the bash shell before proceeding:

$ bash

If you are using bash, type this command:

$ source /nfs/slac/g/lcls/build/epics/setup/epicsSetup.bash

And start up the lcls home screen by typing:

$ lclshome

Troubleshooting

If you cannot bring up the lclshome, from a SecureCRT window, double check the Xll forward has been set. See Step 4.1 above.

If you still cann't bring up lclshome, verify that you have X-Win32 running. You should see an X icon on the menu bar. If the X-Win32 icon isn't there, then start X-Win32 and try to bring up lclshome again.
