| 1 | P11 offers its **experienced users** the possibility of a remote data collection. The remote access is intended only for macromolecular crystallography using the 1-axis goniostat and is granted only for **users who have previously collected data on-site**. | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | The remote session is operated from any internet browser through the Linux remote desktop //FastX//. No software pre-installation is needed. Users receive a direct link to the remote desktop to which they connect using their DOOR credentials. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | If more than one user per group is requesting remote access, all participants are kindly asked to connect/be present via conference call **at the start of the beamtime** for instructions from the local contact. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | == Prerequisites for Remote Access == | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The guidelines for applying for Remote Access follow the guidelines of a regular beamtime: | ||
| 10 | Valid DOOR user account | ||
| 11 | Valid DOOR proposal | ||
| 12 | Valid DOOR safety trainings ("Basic instructions" and "Petra III") | ||
| 13 | in addition to: | ||
| 14 | (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)**At least one on-site beamtime participation**(%%) | ||
| 15 | **Samples [[shipped>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/facilities/petra_iii/beamlines/p11_bio_imaging_and_diffraction/user_information/e298220/index_eng.html]] exclusively in [[Unipucks>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/sites/site_photonscience/content/e58/e176720/e177229/e179139/e211120/e254458/e254463/e254464/Unipucks_eng.png]]** | ||
| 16 | Please include the list of pucks inside the shipping case | ||
| 17 | \\Remote Access sessions also follow P11's [[Shift Allocation Policy>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/facilities/petra_iii/beamlines/p11_bio_imaging_and_diffraction/user_information/e262293/index_eng.html]]. | ||

| 28 | == Registration for Remote Access == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | If the above prerequisites are met, Remote Access can be activated when registering the users in DOOR as follows: | ||
| 31 | Please note that only the **Principal Investigator** is able to register the users for the experiment. | ||
| 32 | ~1. connect to your [[DOOR>>url:https://door.desy.de/]] account as a **General User** | ||
| 33 | 2. click on **Register Participants** | ||
| 34 | 3. click on **Register** (or Edit) for the Beamtime for which you want to request Remote Access | ||
| 35 | |||

| 37 | |||
| 38 | 4. the Remote Access is associated with the DOOR user account. **DOOR credentials are needed for logging in to the Remote session: (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)choose the exact user(s)(%%)** who will use the Remote Access | ||
| 39 | 5. once submitted P11 staff receive a confirmation via email and access is granted on the day of your beamtime | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | [[~[~[image:https://photon-science.desy.de/sites/site_photonscience/content/e58/e176720/e177229/e179139/e205622/e306341/e306638/Remote_Registration_4-5_thumbnail_eng.jpg~]~]>>url:https://photon-science.desy.de/sites/site_photonscience/content/e58/e176720/e177229/e179139/e205622/e306341/e306638/Remote_Registration_4-5_eng.jpg]] | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Note that the local contact reserves the right to use **up to 0.5h of the official beamtime **to align the beam, prepare the beamline and load the samples into the Robot's dewar. | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == Starting the Remote Session == | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Once granted the Remote Session is accessible through the DOOR account. | ||
| 48 | ~1. connect to your DOOR Account as a **"General User"** | ||
| 49 | 2. click on **"start remote session"** | ||

| 56 | |||
| 57 | 4. enter your name | ||
| 58 | 5. for a better view, use the **full screen mode** of your internet browser (Press F11) | ||
| 59 | 6. in the same drop-down menu, take control of the session by **selecting your name**in the users list | ||
| 60 | 7. **resize the window** of the remote session using the **⤢ button** in the drop-down menu at the top center of the remote session. | ||
| 61 | You can also use the **zoom out** option of the internet browser to adjust the remote session screen, then resize again with the **⤢ button**. | ||
| 62 | |||

| 64 | |||
| 65 | 8. start **CrystalControl** as well as **Firefox**. The latter gives you access to the **Sample's Camera** and the **Auto-Processing Results** | ||
| 66 | \\9. **closing the remote session** happens simply by closing the internet tab or browser and informing the local contact | ||
