overview
This tutorial will serve as an introduction to
the technical aspects of the Access Grid and suitable for new sites that are
interested in bring up nodes or troubleshooting existing nodes. It will
feature hands on demonstrations for technical users and staff. This tutorial
will be split into two tracks.
The Introduction to the Access Grid track will
cover the components, assembly, and operation of an Access Grid node, and will
include hands-on participation with Access Grid equipment. The Advanced Topics
track will cover in detail the two areas that raise the most questions with
Access Grid sites: audio and networking. We will cover the audio subsystem of
the Access Grid in detail, beginning with necessary background in digital audio
and ending with advanced tuning and troubleshooting. We will spend some time on
configuration and debugging of multicast networks, with coverage of network
debugging that normal mortals can perform.
