Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 684: Options for NP Delivery from ILRS stations From: Van Husson, ILRS Central Bureau > ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2000-11-02 08:30:00 UTC Message No. 684 ******************************************************************************** Author: Van Husson, ILRS Central Bureau Subject: Options for NP Delivery from ILRS stations Dear Colleagues, Normal Point (NP) Delivery Procedure(s) for the ILRS network stations are tabulated below. Historically, stations have sent their NP data to one of two operation centers (EDC or HTSI). EUROLAS stations have sent their data to the EDC; NASA stations have sent their data to HTSI; and WPLTN stations have sent their data to either the EDC or HTSI. Now there is a third choice as a backup in case the EDC or HTSI is inaccessible. These choices will help to ensure a usable backup option whether the stations submit their data by ftp or email. EDC and HTSI are ftp backups for each other. AIUB will now be the email backup for EDC. Center Data Transmission Options Comments -------- -------------------------- ----------------------- EDC ftp or email ftp backup to HTSI HTSI ftp ftp backup to EDC AIUB email email backup to EDC Any questions please contact the ILRS Central Bureau at cb@ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov . Van Husson, ILRS Central Bureau Normal Point Delivery Procedures for the ILRS Network Stations PROCEDURE 1 -- NP DELIVERY TO EDC This procedure is routinely used by the EUROLAS network and by selected systems in the WPLTN network. This procedure can also be used as a backup for stations that regularly send their data to HTSI, when HTSI is inaccessible. EDC accepts two data transmission methods (e-mail and ftp). 1a) E-MAIL METHOD TO EDC: Send your data via email to edc@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de . There is no subject naming convention, but the body of the message should start with the station name followed by the NP data in the ILRS NP format. Please do not send attachments. Example: FROM: Changchun TO: edc@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de SUBJECT: NP Data -- Body of Messages Follows (not part of the email message) -- Changchun_1029 99999 9205201003027237190153200006325500000000653403601850261 345719996384017432765641000013009912277003600090000073 345832496366017064309611000012509912277003600330000057 345977496348016596721019000009409912277003600540000084 99999 7603901003037237190153200006316900000000807403601210291 544767496447050237504171000012109853270806100010000056 545562496523049009907994000011809853270806100510000081 546394996264047788509878000013009853270806100150000097 548539995422044997395281000001909853270806100030000088 1b) FTP METHOD TO EDC: Ftp your data in ASCII mode (not BINARY) to the EDC at: IP Address: 129.187.165.3 Node Name: dgfi.badw-muenchen.de User: ftpin Password: *********** (supplied upon request from EDC, Wolfgang Seemueller at edc@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de) Directory: /incoming/laser/station File Naming Convention: the file name should start with the station location name (e.g. graz_0630) File Content: Include only NP data in the NP format (no other text lines please) Example FTP Session: >FTP 129.187.165.3 >User: ftpin >Password: ************* (supplied upon request from EDC) >cd /incoming/laser/station >ASCII >put graz_0630 graz_0630 >bye PROCEDURE 2 -- NP DELIVERY TO HTSI This procedure is used by selected stations in the WPLTN network. This procedure can also be used as a backup procedure for stations that regularly send their data to the EDC, when the EDC is inaccessible. HSTI accepts NP data only via ftp (no email). Ftp your data in ASCII mode (not BINARY) to HTSI at: IP Address: 198.186.51.19 Node Name: slral2.honeywell-tsi.com User: fg_normpts Password: *********** (supplied upon request by HTSI, Oscar Brogdon at dsgqlk@slral2.honeywell-tsi.com) Directory: default directory (no action required) File Naming Convention: the only convention is the file name suffix is .QLD or .qld (e.g. strl_001011.qld or stml_001011.QLD are both acceptable) File Content: Include only the NP data in the NP format (no other text lines please) Comment: The HTSI node name will change at a later date, for this reason the IP address is recommended. Example FTP Session: >FTP 198.186.51.19 >User: fg_normpts >Password: *********** (supplied upon request from HTSI) >ASCII >Put STRL0014501.QLD STRL0014501.QLD >Bye PROCEDURE 3 -- NP DELIVERY TO ZIMMERWALD (AIUB) This procedure is to be used only as a backup when the EDC is inaccessible. Zimmerwald only accepts email data transmission. Send your NP data by email to np@aiubzmd.unibe.ch . There is no subject naming convention. Any text in the message body preceding the first ”99999” identifier will be skipped. Please do not send attachments. Example: FROM: Changchun TO: np@aiubzmd.unibe.ch SUBJECT: NP Data -- Body of Messages Follows (not part of the email message) -- Changchun_1029 99999 9205201003027237190153200006325500000000653403601850261 345719996384017432765641000013009912277003600090000073 345832496366017064309611000012509912277003600330000057 345977496348016596721019000009409912277003600540000084 99999 7603901003037237190153200006316900000000807403601210291 544767496447050237504171000012109853270806100010000056 545562496523049009907994000011809853270806100510000081 546394996264047788509878000013009853270806100150000097 548539995422044997395281000001909853270806100030000088 Within 10 minutes after receipt, the incoming messages are automatically extracted from the Zimmerwald mailbox, placed into files and sent by ftp to the appropriate directory at HTSI on slral2.honeywell-tsi.com using the filenames: nnnn-dd-mmm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss.QLD where nnnn is the CDP number of the station, dd-mmm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss is the current date and time e.g., 7237-29-OCT-2000-17-24-38.QLD From: ”Husson, Van” ********************************************************************************
