Students may not always be able to travel to the lab to test scripts or run tasks on the Pi so remote access is extremely important. When on the Deakin network, the Pi can be reached from anywhere on campus but when off campus, Deakin's VPN must be used.
To install the VPN, go to the Deakin Software Library page for Cisco AnyConnect From here you can choose what version you would like to install from the bottom of the page or from the links below: Windows Mac - macOS Sierra 10.13 to macOS Monterey 12.x Linux - Red Hat 6 or 7, Ubuntu 14.0.4 or above
After installing the VPN based on the above links, you can follow the guides listed on the page or from the links below: Windows Setup Guide Mac Setup Guide Linux iOS - iPhone/iPad Android
Once the VPN is setup, you can SSH into the Pi via the use of a program like PuTTY on Windows or via the terminal on a Unix based system such as Mac or Linux with the code "ssh pi@{{ip_address_of_raspberry_pi}}" You can also follow this tutorial to use SSH via the Windows Command Prompt
The username and password for the Pi can be found in the handover document.
