Section Purpose

This section outlines Texas Tech University’s role in hosting and supporting the REPACSS computing platform, including details on network access, research engagement, and local technical support.

On-Campus and Remote Access

The REPACSS system is physically hosted within TTU's research computing infrastructure and may be accessed via the following methods:

  • On Campus: Users may connect through wired Ethernet or the TTUnet Wi-Fi network.
  • Off Campus: Access is available through the TTU GlobalProtect Virtual Private Network (VPN). Instructions are available on the VPN Setup Guide.
  • Authentication: All system access requires secure login via SSH or authorized web-based interfaces.

VPN Requirement

All users must be connected to the Texas Tech University network to access REPACSS resources. This requirement applies both on and off campus.

Note: Users located within the Computer Science Department building may experience restricted access when using TTUnet Wi-Fi. In such cases, a VPN connection is required to ensure system accessibility.
