Configuring the TIFKAM Spare PC

The spare PC, as is, has too much hardware to be either an IC or a WC,
the two "flavors" of PC used to run TIFKAM. DO NOT POWER UP
THE SPARE until you have removed the equipment extraneous to your
needs. 

1)Determine which computer you are replacing. The IC has two optical
fiber connectors sticking out of the back; the WC has ethernet BNC and
AUI connectors. 

2)Open the case of the spare.

If you are making the spare an IC:
     3) remove the top most scsi card and the ethernet card and connect
         the 50-pin ribbon cable to the remaining SCSI card

If you are making the spare a WC:
     3) remove the video card, and remove any ribbon cables that are
         connected to the SCSI cards

4) (Both IC and WC): The CMOS setup may have to be changed. If the
message "display type mismatch" appears on startup:
          press <F1>
          wait for setup screen
          press <esc>
          press <enter>

If you are making an IC:
     5) copy all the files in c:\0ICROOT to C:\

If you are making a WC:
     5) copy all the files in C:\0WCROOT to C:\


If you are making a WC, you may have to change the network setup.
Use the C:\3c509\menu program to switch the ethernet card to the AUI
or BNC connector, whichever you will be using. 

The following files may have to be changed for your network:
     C:\WC\WATTCP.CFG, change the network settings
     C:\PCTCP\PCTCP.INI, change the PCNFSD machine, the DNS
          machine, and the user name.
     C:\WC\WC.BAT starts a file. That file will have to changed so
          that the line beginning TCPPORT.EXE refers to the correct
          IP address.
     C:\WC.INI correct the login name and password
     C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT contains the name of a batch file that will
          be called to mount the remote drives. Make sure the correct
          batch file is being called for your site. Make sure the     
     password file referenced contains the correct password.

Also, the WC is responsible for the telescope connection, which varies
between Kitt Peak and MDM. The only way at present to change this is
to recompile the source code for the intended site. The source code to
change is C:\PBASIC32\xfer21.bas. Near the top of the program are
constant declarations reading:

'-- Conditional compilation constants
'-- These include code specific to the observing site
'-- At this time only the telescope controller interface varies
'-- Set one constant equal to one, set all others to zero
%LOWELL = 1    'load telescope controller interface for Lowell Perkins
telescope
%KPNO2M = 0    'load telescope controller interface for KPNO 2M
%KPNO4M = 0    'load telescope controller interface for KPNO 4M
%MDM    = 0    'load telescope controller interface for MDM

Set the constant for your site to one and all others to zero. Save your
edit, exit to the DOS prompt, and run PBC XFER21.BAS. After
compilation, there will be an executable file named XFER21.EXE in the
C:\PBASIC32 directory. Copy this file to C:\WC\V3_2. Restart the
WC as usual.
