It looks as though you will be able to ingest just about anything in the IDD that you want and not be limited by your network connection! >Physically, the computer is located in Ensenada, Mexico, approximately >100 miles south of San Diego, California. OK. It is always interesting to know exactly where machines are housed. >As we speak, we are in the process to install the LDM (version 5.2) >software and hope to have this task completed soon. Excellent. I will get another Unidata staff member involved in identifying primary and failover feeds sites for you. >Please, let us know if additional information is needed. > >Regards, Luis M Farfan. >>From: Luis M Farfan <address@hidden> >>Organization: CICESE - BCS >>Keywords: 200207250019.g6P0Jj917060 IDD >> >>In order to participate in the IDD system, could you please provide >>instructions on the process we need to follow? >> >> >>What we need to do at this point is: >> >>1) you need to identify a machine at your institute that is capable of >> running an LDM and has sufficiently fast internet access so that an >> IDD feed is feasible.

We are ready to start receiving the real-time data from the primary and failover feed sites. I assume that Jeff Weber will provide the specific information on these sites. We appreciate your assistance and will let you know how things go for us! Luis M Farfan. Unidata Support wrote:
