- loose RS232 connection on Licor 7500 (serial number ?)
- fix loose RS232 connection on prop vane (serial number ?)
- many reboots on ncar4, which is the last system in the power chaingetting its power from aux1 on ncar2.
Cellular comms are not great. Using a browser to look at the router web page, shows that the cellular signals are good (70 - 80 %), but the throughput is not great - probably because they are interfering with each other. The connection to ncar2 and ncar4 has been the worst. Chris also noticed that their modems seem hotter to the touch.
Copying files with rsync was problematic. It worked well from 1 and 3, not so good from 2 and terrible terribly from 4.
rsync from 4 showed about 3-4 kB/sec, and the copying of a file would generally fail after 15 minutes or so with a timeout error, even though the rsync timeout was set to 600 seconds.

- 6/10: Still giving problems
- 6/10: Tightened Viper power connector screw terminals. Still died.
- Noticed that for the past day the system is dying at 4 minutes after the hour. Previous to that it was dying about every 15 minutes. Every 15 minutes the system checks for internet connectivity, and after several minutes of trying will power down/up the router and modem. Perhaps that causes a power brownout and the system reboots.
- 6/10 12:36 MDT: switched to its own power supply instead of being daisy chained from aux1 on ncar2.
