Acceptable Use Policy

This testbed is to be used for education, research, and pre-arranged industrial/commerical use. This is a shared resource, please make every effort to be considerate to other users.

Escalation

During an experiment, please be available for contact with the email / phone you registered with. In case of abuse or misconfiguration, you will be contacted, if possible, to remedy the situation.

If the situation is not resolved, your experiment will be foribly shut down, and the PI for your group contacted.

All cases of deliberate abuse will be reported.

Compute Resources

The compute resources are meant to be used in support of testbed level experiments. In cases of contention, standalone compute jobs will be given a lower priority than real-time usage for RF procesing. Cryptocurrency mining is expressly forbidden.

RF Resources

Since the testbed can radiate in a wide range of RF frequencies, and uses a considerable amount of power and other resources, we require that it be used for legitimate research purposes.

Efforts have been made to prevent accidental misuse or interference with other users or the public, however deliberate abusive or malicious actions will result in a ban from access.

Accidents, mistakes, misconfigurations and the like happen. Some actions, such as transmitting on a forbidden frequency, or accidental network denial of service, will result in a warning to you, and your group administrator.

Site specific rules

Specific resources / sites may have additional restrictions. For example, resources in the Columbia or Rutgers datacenters are subject to their Acceptible Use Policies as well.
