Re: remote control room network setup

[Maren Purves <m.purves@jach.hawaii.edu>]

Hi Emmanuel,

we're geographically diverse, in some cases even having serial
line devices on terminal servers that are remote from the IOCs.
All we do is
- put the proper routing information in the startup files
- run displays on a local (to the subnet of the IOC(s)) machine,
  displaying back to wherever the 'operator' sits, e.g. I have
  a dm screen on the machine I'm sitting in front of that displays
  from a machine that's on the same subnet as the IOCs it gets
  the information from - and two of the serial line devices it
  displays values from is on a yet different subnet in a yet
  different location.
- We do have (most of) our serial consoles on console switches
  to allow remote (soft) booting and trouble shooting the occasional
  crash as well as networked power switches to allow remote
  hard reboots.


HTH,

Maren, UKIRT.
