Scalelogic Connection Setup

Summary

Scalelogic Connection Setup for Mac & PC

Body

You need to have access enabled in order to connect to Scalelogic spaces. If you do not have access, follow this link to request access.

 

 

If you are a Mac user:

  • If you are a remote user, be sure you are logged into VPN / Global Protect
  • If you are a local on-campus user, be sure you are logged in on your system as yourself (your regular 4 letter 4 number login).
    • Wired local connection is best, but if you are on WiFi, be sure you are connected to "UST", not "UST-Open".
  • At “Finder” go to “Go” and “Connect to Server”

  • Then enter the path of the drive you need to connect toUploaded Image (Thumbnail)
    • For any other drive than the above (such as "Athletics", "STELAR", "TheCrest", "emedia[course number]", etc), the path is smb://140.209.4.55/
    • If you know the drive you need to connect to, you can also enter that in the full address, such as smb://140.209.4.55/athletics
      • If you do not know the drive specific syntax (such as “athletics”) just enter the IP, that’s fine, you can choose from the drive in the next step
    • Enter your UST ID [john0001]
      • Do not enter your vanity address [john.doe@stthomas.edu]
      • If you are a remote user, be sure you are using your UST ID, NOT your local Mac account login credentials.
    • Select the drive you wish to connect to:Uploaded Image (Thumbnail)
      • So, for instance in screen shot, select “athletics”
  • You should now be connected to the drive.
    • First time connection can take a few moments to connect
  • Also, it is recommended to make an alias to the drive in case you disconnect, etc.
    • Right click or control click on the drive that is mounted
    • Select “Make Alias” from pop up menu

    • You can also move the alias to OneDrive so it is backed up.
  • Repeat this process for any and all drives you wish to connect

 

If you are a PC user:

  • Open a regular Windows File Explorer window (NOT an Internet browser window)
  • Single right click on the icon for “This PC” on the left of the window and scroll down to “Map Network Drive”
  • On the pop up dialogue that appears, select a drive letter you are not using (Z is usually open)
  • See screen shot below to reference in next stepsUploaded Image (Thumbnail)
  • Enter the address of the server and share you are trying to reach.
  • Be sure that the “Reconnect at sign-in” box is checked
  • Enter your UST ID [john0001]
    • Do not enter your vanity address [john.doe@stthomas.edu]
  • Select Finish
  • Any time you log in going forward, your drive(s) you’ve mounted this way will mount.
  • You can also create a shortcut to the drive once it is mounted in case you need to easily re-connect in the future.
  • See image below to reference in next steps

    • In a Windows Explorer window (not Internet browser window), open “This PC”
    • You will see all drives including your newly mapped Scalelogic drive(s)
      • Right click on the drive you wish to create a shortcut
      • Scroll down to “Create Shortcut” on the pop up menu
      • Place the shortcut on your desktop
        • You can also move the shortcut to your OneDrive for backup
  • Repeat this process for any and all drives you wish to connect

 

VPN (remote) access is not currently enabled on all drives and will be handled on a per-user request basis.
