Enter your LOFAR2.0 Hardware Configuration

The software will need to be told various aspects of your station configuration, for example, the hostnames of the station hardware to control. The following settings are installation specific, and are stored as properties in the TangoDB. The format used here is device.property:

Mandatory settings

Without these settings, you will not obtain the associated functionality:

RECV.OPC_Server_Name

Hostname of RECVTR.

type

string

UNB2.OPC_Server_Name

Hostname of UNB2TR.

type

string

SDP.OPC_Server_Name

Hostname of SDPTR.

type

string

SST.OPC_Server_Name

Hostname of SDPTR.

type

string

SST.FPGA_sst_offload_hdr_eth_destination_mac_RW_default

MAC address of the network interface on the host running this software stack, on which the SSTs are to be received. This network interface must be capable of receiving Jumbo (MTU=9000) frames.

type

string[N_fpgas]

SST.FPGA_sst_offload_hdr_ip_destination_address_RW_default

IP address of the network interface on the host running this software stack, on which the SSTs are to be received.

type

string[N_fpgas]

XST.OPC_Server_Name

Hostname of SDPTR.

type

string

XST.FPGA_xst_offload_hdr_eth_destination_mac_RW_default

MAC address of the network interface on the host running this software stack, on which the XSTs are to be received. This network interface must be capable of receiving Jumbo (MTU=9000) frames.

type

string[N_fpgas]

XST.FPGA_xst_offload_hdr_ip_destination_address_RW_default

IP address of the network interface on the host running this software stack, on which the XSTs are to be received.

type

string[N_fpgas]

Optional settings

These settings make life nicer, but are not strictly necessary to get your software up and running:

RECV.Ant_mask_RW_default

Which antennas are installed.

type

bool[N_RCUs][N_antennas_per_RCU]

SDP.RCU_mask_RW_default

Which RCUs are installed.

type

bool[N_RCUs]

UNB2.UNB2_mask_RW_default

Which Uniboard2s are installed in SDP.

type

bool[N_unb]

SDP.TR_fpga_mask_RW_default

Which FPGAs are installed in SDP.

type

bool[N_fpgas]

SDP.FPGA_sdp_info_station_id_RW_default

Numeric identifier for this station.

type

uint32[N_fpgas]
