Hello Jens,

Very happy to hear that OSU is using AWIPS II.  I'm here to help with whatever 
you need.

The first place to check is ~/caveData/logs/consoleLogs/edex/ for a file named 
"cave_YYYYMMDD_.._pid_.._console.log"

This is a text log that should provide insight into why CAVE will not load.

Yes it looks like EDEX is receiving and processing data correctly.  You do not 
need to be registered with Unidata to pull data from the IDD if you are 
connecting from a .edu domain, it looks like data flow is working for you.

To clarify term, the Unidata 14.2.1 release is our beta, and any University 
installation becomes a beta test member, so consider yourself added and welcome 
to the AWIPS II .edu community.  We have a mailing list at address@hidden, I 
will add you to the list if you just say the word.
