Lightburn access in remote desktop to prepare files

To access Lightburn, you need first to take control of our remote computer (a physical machine on the network, not a VM). These remote computers have a lightburn licence installed on it.

The steps to follow are:

1. Ensure you are connected to the EPFL network (wifi or VPN)
2. Go to the following webpage : make.epfl.ch/remote-pc
3. Read the procedure on how to connect/disconnect properly + store data (see next chapter)
4. At the bottom of the webpage, click on Remotely (& possibly locally) accessible computers for special purposes
5. The PC number DLLSTIGEPC22 is the one with lightburn installed on it. Note that up to 12 users can connect to this computer simultaneously
6. Copy DLLSTIGEPC22 and paste it into the remote desktop app
7. Once connected to the computer, a new window (see image under) to the remote computer will open on your laptop. On the remote desktop window, a shortcut to open Lightburn is available (red arrow)

You have the following options to import your DXF or SVG documents into Lightburn (remote desktop) from your own laptop

1. Copy from your laptop, paste it on the remote computer
   1. Get out of the remote desktop window (Esc key), go back to your own desktop
   2. Copy your file from your computer
   3. Go back on the window of the remote desktop and paste your file somewhere, open the file from lightburn
2. Browser option
   1. Open a browser on the remote desktop and access your email or a shared collaborative drive on which you can access your file
3. Install RDP config file to create a bridge to your personal hard drive (best alternative if you plan to use the remote computer to prepare your files often)
   1. Download the RDP config file here lightburn_server.rdp
   2. Accept the condition
   3. You can now, directly from the remote desktop hard drive, access your own hard drive (a bridge
