Welcome to the COSMOS Testbed.

COSMOS is available for remote access by academic researchers both in the U.S and internationally.

== Registration

Both Organizations and individuals can register. Your provided contact information must be associated with the organization you are registering as.

New Users should sign up using the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register User Registration Form], but please check to make sure you are signing up under the correct organization, as only the selected group's admin will see your request.

Organizations must list a primary contact, who will be responsible for approving individual memberships in that group. In addition, they are responsible for the conduct of their members.
They can be registered at the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/orgReg Organization Registration Form]

== Conduct
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.

This is a shared resource, please make every effort to be considerate to other users.

== Getting Started

For first-time users please refer to the [wiki:cosmos_workflow COSMOS work flow process] page. There are a few steps involved so this is meant to be used as a guideline. 

Time based reservation can be made at the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/cPanel/controlPanel/start Control Panel].

From that page, under "Manage my account" is a link to upload a ssh public-key. Configure your client to use the corresponding private key for access.

During your reservation, your SSH keys will be enabled at [ssh://USERNAME@console.domain.cosmos-lab.org USERNAME@console.domain.cosmos-lab.org]
