Preparations

Setup the R2DBE

on the mark6 machine as user oper:

python /usr/local/src/r2dbe/software/r2dbe_start.py

Note: This file will need editing prior to the session start.

in line 8/9 adapt the stream identifiers, e.g. for the 30-m telescope (station code PV) we use PR and PL (for RCP and LCP respectivly).

Depending of the network configuration of the Mark6 (e.g. which of the 10GE ports were used for connecting the R2DBE and the corresponding IP-adresses) other modifications need to be made in the arp and ip sections of the script. Please consult Geoff or Laura in case of doubt.
