[Opera-CONNIE] To-do list for next trip

[Guillermo Fernandez]

Hello Martin,

They should remove the HD mounted on /data3. The one mounted in /data2 has all the data, I assume it is the forth disk in the computer following:
1 3
2 4
I assume the #2 is the one they removed last time.

Well, all the info should be on internet, in case they didn't take notes of the model number TPlink TL-MR3220 (atached foto). I think the blue port is the WAN port, that cannot be used for local network. If that is the problem, we should buy another hub. 
But also, there is a problem with the old camera, seems it is not working.
I do not exactly remember if you need a computer connected to the local network. If that is the case, the linux computer won't work because the camera wizard do not run on centos, ubuntu. We configure the old camera using the Wind XP virtual machine inside the old lsd, but it might be not simple to connect it directly to the local network. It could be easier, if you just take a win or mac machine to the container. 
The old camera is DCS-930L, there are manuals and youtube videos over internet. 

Something to add to the list, is to make a diagram of all the cable connections (power, ethernet, signal) in the container, free outlets, etc. This will help planning in advance. 


Best, 
Guillermo
