All commands and data sent will be encrypted. NoMachine provides responsive remote access to the Test Drive cluster. It behaves just as if you were sitting at the machine (including audio, file transfers and USB storage devices). You can access the cluster from your web browser, or via a dedicated NoMachine client. Linux, Windows and MacOS systems. Android and Apple mobile clients are also supported! Before continuing, ensure that your account has been created. You should have received an e-mail which includes the following information: * your **username** * your **password** ## Connect via web browser Microway's Test Drive cluster provides graphical sessions without the need for NoMachine to be installed. All you need is a web browser! To get started, open this link in your web browser: Once the site has loaded, use the username and password you've been provided. ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4U83z6SxpfaVcg%2FNoMachine_Cloud_Session_in_web_browser_2017-02-02.png?generation=1539867759874826\&alt=media) Once logged in, the browser's appearance will match that of the native NoMachine client. Follow along with the session startup shown below, starting with [creating a new Virtual Desktop](/hpc-test-drive/logging_in/nomachine_login.md#click-create-a-new-virtual-desktop). ## Connect via NoMachine Client If you do not have NoMachine installed, follow the [NoMachine installation instructions](/hpc-test-drive/logging_in/nomachine_login/installing_nomachine.md) to set up and start the NoMachine client software. Once the NoMachine client is installed, continue with the instructions below. ### Click *create a new connection* ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4XGHew9bW3E8tn%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A02%3A39.png?generation=1539867739456305\&alt=media) ### Select the NX Protocol ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4ZUNuKHuQqrHDl%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A02%3A49.png?generation=1539867758484328\&alt=media) ### Enter the Hostname ``` gateway.microway.com ``` The Port number, which defaults to 4000, should not be changed. ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4abNqWYzNSwgz-%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A03%3A34.png?generation=1539867759062814\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4c-pXHyW8wwr-Y%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A03%3A46.png?generation=1539867758979236\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4e-VrmB1Df5TiA%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A03%3A52.png?generation=1539867758991477\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4glaA35SppM3-9%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A03%3A57.png?generation=1539867759681607\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4i4rlx6l34l4jq%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A04%3A03.png?generation=1539867760224562\&alt=media) ### Double-click the Cluster Connection ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4kysSHEd2x7ja9%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A04%3A11.png?generation=1539867760212638\&alt=media) ### Double-check that the key matches ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4mMpMsWOK2KT3c%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A04%3A17.png?generation=1539867759732516\&alt=media) ### Enter your Username and Password ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4obhu19WX8DB43%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A04%3A23.png?generation=1539867759753204\&alt=media) ### Click *Create a new virtual desktop* ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4q5rLax1cE87Jg%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A04%3A46.png?generation=1539867759764847\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4s1n_5YuKBU8a_%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A05%3A03.png?generation=1539867759817130\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4uQucv-7e5_Ami%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A05%3A08.png?generation=1539867759867762\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4wDeFDEv_-F3oq%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A05%3A27.png?generation=1539867759805799\&alt=media) ### Change to full-screen by clicking the highlighted button ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF4yK3ORDRqtWDFE%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A05%3A35.png?generation=1539867759838312\&alt=media) ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF5-ULblyp5AjPBk%2FNoMachine__Screenshot_from_2014-11-04_17%3A05%3A36.png?generation=1539867760244842\&alt=media) ### Your GUI Appears ![](https://4192192950-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LP6FqhFTk0yl2rn1Osm%2F-LP6FtRHi71hG7N7eQ8y%2F-LP6GF51iPahZ2mDIoys%2FNoMachine_Session_from_2014-11-04_17%3A06%3A11.png?generation=1539867760337505\&alt=media) From this window, you can perform any tasks you would normally run.
