Device list in EEL/108

• When possible, I'm assigning addresses in the range 129.57.195.100--150.

PXE Booting

• Devices on the 195 subnet are delivered PXE boot options via DHCP by the CNI DHCP server:

 next-server 129.57.195.43;                # cdaql3 (on 195 subnet in EEL/108)
 filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"       # boot file

In-Progress

  • 8 F250 FADCs installed (slots 3--10)
  • 1 CAEN 1190 TDC (in slot 20) for testing blocklevel > 1
  • (To be installed) 'Example' SIS3801 scaler for testing blocklevel > 1
  • (To be installed) LED driver modules

NOTE:

• 0th 'full' crate is the SHMS calorimeter crate presently in use in the Hall (SHMS hut)
  • nps-vme0 129.57.168.xxx (Likely best to rename the VME SBC to follow general NPS naming scheme for clarity when the time comes.)
  • nps-vtp0 129.57.168.xxx (NOT INSTALLED YET)
  • It will be configured to use 15 (of its 16 FADCs) and will function identically to the first 3 'full' crates. (The 16th module will be a spare.)
  • It will not be coming to EEL/108 (of course).
