Profile

An IRC server has been installed on janus.agata.daq on the default port for IRC.
This service is mainly provided for administration of AGATA, debugging, and communication during run.

This server is open only to machines inside the DAQ box, so to connect to it, you need to be on a AGATA visu machine, or to be connected through SSH inside the DAQ box.

Connect through SSH

The easiest way is to connect on janus directly (or lxagata0.gsi.de from outside of AGATA daq box).
You need to have an account on this machine.

Connect through AGATA machines

You have to be physically connected on AGATA visu machines.
You can launch whatever IRC client you want.
Theorically, irssi should be installed (this is a console application, not a graphical one ....)

IRSSI help
