----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 14 16:56:09 GMT 2003 Year: 03 Doy: 287 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Oct 14 16:59:40 GMT 2003 Medium cirrostratus, wind=5 mph from the SE, temp=50 F. Tue Oct 14 17:11:35 GMT 2003 CHIP Start Patrol Tue Oct 14 17:11:50 GMT 2003 PICS Start Patrol **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 17:01:48 GMT 2003 Network problem exists, Bunny called and said she can't Ping our network router. It may be related to a power outage that apparently happened up here sometime since yesterday. I've been checking things with Bunny and haven't finished starting the instruments yet, but it is fairly cloudy anyway. COMMENT: Tue Oct 14 17:14:03 GMT 2003 Spar is tracking, starting most instruments. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 17:19:05 GMT 2003 I cycled power to our router. I can't Ping our DNS IP addresses, that indicates that I can't get past our router to the Internet. I see the red ALM is lit on the Verizon demarcation box, normally this isn't lit, but it was lit until we got our new T1 link working last time. I think Verizon had to do something to the circuit to get it cleared last time, but I'll see if there is any way to clear it from here. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 17:37:44 GMT 2003 Data transfers finished OK at around 2am HST, so power outage must have been after that. I can't clear the red ALM LED, either Verizon needs to clear the circuit or we need to change something in the Router. I can't get ahold of Bunny right now but I left phone messages for her. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 17:46:43 GMT 2003 Talked to Bunny, she'll check with Verzon. I asked her to give us the info we would need to have Verizon fix this problem if it happened when she isn't around to help us.

COMMENT: Tue Oct 14 19:50:58 GMT 2003 Extended dome slot. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Oct 14 19:51:09 GMT 2003 Clouds are thickening. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 19:51:52 GMT 2003 An interesting thing, just after the power outage I looked at the ALM LED on the Verizon box and it wasn't lit anymore, just the normal green LEDs were lit, then about 5 minutes later I looked again and the ALM LED was lit again.

It could be because of the clear sky too. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 23:11:15 GMT 2003 Tried more things on 3 way call with Bunny and Verizon guy, they will test the line further and call me back here. Currently our router is disconnected from the Verizon Demarcation Box, the ALM LED is Red. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Tue Oct 14 23:26:36 GMT 2003 On another call with 4 other Verizon guys, 2 local guys and 2 mainland guys. The connection from mainland to Hawaii is erroneously set to B8ZS and ESF but it should be set to AMI and SF, that's how it was set when it was working earlier. OK, now the mainland link set their connection correctly and we are back on the Internet. The local guy was Nelson from Hilo, the mainland guy was Tony and he can be reached at 1-800-303-7637 ext 8736 in case of this type of problem again (ALM LED red even with our router disconnected, no Internet connection with local network working correctly), our T1 circuit is identified as 12QGFS033002 (zeroes not letter O), Tony would need that info to find problem. Tony said that something was changed in the setup of our circuit recently at his end but he doesn't know why. I asked him if the correct configuration (AMI SF) was now saved for future use and he said it was, but it took quite a whilw for him to find how to set it, he kept telling Nelson that his side could be B8ZS ESF with Nelson's side being AMI SF, and Nelson kept telling him it couldn't be set that way - so Nelson helped point him in the right direction. Tony said we don't have a full T1 because we use 8 bit "bitstuffing", this is an unusual T1 setup, usually they deal with the full T1 connections that use B8ZS ESF protocols.
