Tue Aug 19 16:50:27 GMT 1997 CHIP Startup--Initializing new tape COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 16:55:47 GMT 1997 Had at least one power outage since Saturday, reset the clock and the power to the CHIP filter cooler. COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 17:09:02 GMT 1997 According to Russ Schnell of NOAA the mountain router (mtnserv) is fried due to the lightning, we will be without a network connection to Boulder for a while. The phone line that we use for our modem also seems to be dead. On Saturday I tried connecting the modem to our voice phone line that is still working but still couldn't get a connection, so I brought up the other modem from the Hilo office to try up here today. COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 17:47:24 GMT 1997 Finally able to connect to Boulder by using the Hilo modem and manually dialing in the telephone number. COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 18:20:06 GMT 1997 Hilo modem works well repeatedly, other modem would only work well the first connection of the day. COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 18:35:03 GMT 1997 NOAA says the phone lined are still out as is the router. The telephone company will be up here again today. Darryl Kuniyuki will be up here today also and I will ask him about the router and network status. LOW-L COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 20:54:40 GMT 1997 Working on troubleshooting with David. LOW-L COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 23:04:18 GMT 1997 It looks like we need a new National ATMIO16 board, it doesn't appear to be sending correct timing signals to the camera. David will send us a new one, until we receive it the Lowl will remain inoperative. We will install this board in the PC when received. COMMENT: Tue Aug 19 23:06:43 GMT 1997 Going back down to the GONG shelter to try something else, there may be some bad fuses on the Power Supply Chasis.
