LEGACY SERVER

The ATCA LEGACY SERVER (atcalegacyserver) communicates instructions from CAOBS to the Antenna Control Computers (ACCs). The Legacy Server runs on the linux machine XBONES. The output is normally displayed on a XBONES xterm on PERICLES. The Legacy Server requires no user interaction once started as it gets all its commands from CAOBS via a network socket.

Occasionally (usually after an ACC has died or been rebooted) the Legacy Server does not recover properly and needs to be restarted. Find the XBONES Legacy Server X-term, stop the process with ctrl-C and:

restart legacy server
