To start Cadence, there are a few steps that you need to complete.

• Download puTTy and vncviwer(available in ATAC4019), used for remote log-in the server.

• Open puTTy. Type cmc.lakeheadu.ca to the Host Name field, like

. Then choose Connection–Data, on the right window you will see Auto-login name. The username is the same as your e-mail address (without @lakeheadu.ca). Leave the rest are default.

Click Open. Then you will see . The password is formed by concatenating the student id number and the login id. The vnc password is just the student id(you will need vnc password next).

For example, user jsmith, student id 123456

password: 123456jsmith (for ssh)

vnc password: 123456

• Once you have log-in to the server, please type startserver.sh, e.g. . An vncserver will be automatically started by running this script, and the port number will be assigned. You will get a similar information shown in the figure as below: The highlighted number is where you will find your

port number. Here is 6410. But you will have a different number.

• Now, type exit to exit puTTy. You need to re-open puTTy.

• Open Putty again

• Go to Connection–ssh–Tunnels. On the right window, fill in the high- lighted number, e.g. 6410, to the source port field. And add local- host:6410 to the destination, shown as in the Fig. 2. Click Open. And type your password again.

• The last step is to open vncviewer. In the vncserver field, please type in lo- calhost:6410. And click connect. You will be asking for password, which you should type your student id, e.g. 123456. You may be then asked for another password to log-in cmc.lakeheadu.ca server. This password is the ssh log-in password, e.g. 123456jsmith.

• You then have successfully setup your account and config the vncviewer.

• One more last thing that you should be aware of is if you have leading 0 in your student id, you should omit the leading 0s in your password.
