- About software
Depending on the license, available software may be different from satellite terminals.See Software Information for datails. - Old client may not work
From Mac OS please use connection on Web browser or something. - Automatical log-out after 2 hours
In order to avoid occupation by a small number of users, for Windows desktop and Linux desktop, it automatically signs out / logs out after 2 hours from the time connection started. As it compulsorily signs out / logs out even during operation, please keep it in mind. - Regular restart of remote desktop servers
In order to operate the system stably, the servers for using the Windows desktop are regularly restarted. Restarts occur every day at 6:00 and 6:30, with staggered timing for each server. If the user is signed in at this point, it will not be restarted. Also, because the restart timing is different for each server, the user is not affected by the restart even when the user newly logs in. - Regarding being judged as being in another country even though you are in Japan
The database that manages the relationship between IP addresses and countries used by the firewall installed at the University of Tsukuba is used to determine whether your connection is to Japan or not.
When the organization to which the IP address is assigned changes, this database is also updated, but it may not be reflected immediately. As a result, judgments may be incorrect.
The University of Tsukuba is unable to correct this database. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
