Register with Us
To use the Access Grid (AG) services, an Access Grid Node and a Node User need to register with the JANET AG Booking Service. During registration users will be prompted to select a home node. At this point please select ‘add new node’ (see below) if the node hasn't been registered previously. If a node has already been registered and only a user registration is necessary, choose the node that will be most regularly used when prompted to select a home node.
Once registered, an email will be sent advising that the registration has been successful, together with a password. If a registration rejection email is received, please talk to us and we will investigate.
Add a New Node
Once user registration is complete, the next stage is to register the AG node (if applicable). There are four types of node registrations, however this may be limited to a couple of choices depending on the login settings:
UK Academic room based node - For UK room or studio nodes available to organisations with a JANET connection. Room or studio nodes tend to be in a dedicated space such as a seminar or meeting room, usually with multiple projectors on a display screen (often a whole wall), as well as multiple cameras and microphones, etc. Full registration will mean it is compulsory that the node takes part in a comprehensive Quality Assurance session every twelve months. This helps ensure that participants have a high quality experience during meetings.
UK Academic desktop system - For desktop nodes (also known as Personal Interface to the Grid or PIG) using a UK academic JANET connection. Desktop nodes normally involve a single camera and a headset on an individual PC.
UK Commercial room or desktop - For full room or desktop nodes at commercial organisations usually without a JANET connection.
International room or desktop - For non UK based nodes of all types.
If you have any questions about registration, please talk to us.
