KCOR COMMENT BY lisapg: Fri Aug 07 18:16:18 GMT 2026
Had an error on kcor
 MC4U Telnetnet port opened by another process

This kept occurring, so first I power cycled KCor computer; didn't solve it, so I then shutdown KCor computer and then power cycled the MC4U unit; didn't solve it, so as per Bens advisement, I checked all the ethernet cable connections in the upstairs Nema box, made sure they were all seated properly and the message went away.

Ben mentioned that the case might be that if it can't open the connection in the first place, it assumes the connection has been opened by something else and reseating the cables got it talking again.

GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Fri Aug 07 23:57:30 GMT 2026
Cirrus at the start of the day but it cleared enough for a fair amount of time to take data. Unfortunately aerosols were pretty heavy and clouds came in in the afternoon. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
