Bloomberg Remote Instructions – now using 6A – revised April 2008

Part I. Ref Desk Area - Starting the Remote Host Session on the Bloomberg Terminal

1. At the Bloomberg Terminal 6A, go to Start and click on “Logoff Buser”. Hold down the
key and click on the Log Off button in the next dialog box. Keep holding down
until Windows cycles around to a new Log On dialog box.
2. User ID = Staff-Rem Password = flat71rem1
3. Click OK to complete login.
4. Go to Start and click on “pcAnywhere Host”. The pcAnywhere Manager box appears.
5. Double click on “Network, Cable, DSL”. A tiny icon of a computer will appear in the
“Task tray” (the recessed area at the bottom right corner of the screen.
6. Click on Start and then click on “Bloomberg”. Make certain that the Bloomberg screen you log into is on the left monitor. (Bloomberg opens up in the last monitor used.) Move as many of the Bloomberg screens as you choose to use for training into the left monitor. The pcAnywhere
window in Glossberg or Class of 55 will only display the contents of this monitor.
7. Log in to Bloomberg: User Name = library03 Password = bloom03
8. Disconnect the keyboard and take it into Glossberg or Class of 55. The new keyboards use a USB cable in addition to the regular “PS2” kind. You will find 2 USB extension cables in use at 6A. Disconnect between them. That way you will be taking the Bloomberg keyboard with one
of the USB extensions into Glossberg or Class of 55.


Part II. Glossberg Room or Class of 55 - Starting the Local Client Session

1. Turn on the Projector.
2. Hook up the Bloomberg keyboard. Unplug the regular keyboard and plug in the Bloomberg PS2 cable. (In Glossberg you should do this at the end furthest from the computer, where the regular keyboard was plugged into its extension. In this way you will avoid having to unplug anything from the back of the machine.) Plug the USB extension into a USB port in the front of the
computer.
3. Turn on the computer (it may already be on).
4. Click twice on the Staff folder.
5. Click on Bloomberg Remote.
6. [ This step is Glossberg only ] - Enter password: side4up2 Click on Go.
- Choose Bloomberg Remote again.
7. Enter password: flat71rem1
8. The screen from the 6A Bloomberg Terminal will appear.

3. Press Control+Alt+Del, then click on “Log Off” and “OK” to log out of Windows.
This step is important since otherwise the machine will still be logged on to the
“Staff-Rem” profile.
