v31 v32 109 109 2. '''Display machine'''[[BR]]It must be able to reach ports on grid nodes using TCP. Display machine in ORBIT control room has that capability. The port numbers to connect to are of 80XY format, where X and Y are coordinates of the node. Display machine should have VLC Media Player > 0.8.2 installed in order to show the streams to user. e.g., the URL to the stream on [1,2] -> [1,8] pair is http://10.19.1.8:8018. To ease up invoking three VLC instances with correct parameters, use the Windows Batch file written for this purpose (resides on the Display machine desktop). 110 110 111 4. '''Video Clip packages'''[[BR]]There are two debian packages (with different set of video clips in them) called, teststream_1.1-1_all.deb, teststream_1.1-2_all.deb. Normally, experiment support script checks the package and installsif it does not exist on the particular source node automatically. If debian repository, which is repository1.orbit-lab.org (or the network connected to it) fails, it may not be loaded on demand. In that case, the mentioned package have to be uploaded and installed manually to the three source nodes. Video clips are not embedded into the O/S image file due to the image file size concerns. The folder on which this debian package files reside is repository1:/var/www/video/binary111 3.

Console of sb9 normally has the necessary software to run this GUI. In order to use this GUI from display machine (or any other machine capable of reaching grid network), X Server has to be used. There is an X server installed in Display machine. It can be invoked from Start->CygWin menu (open up CygWin terminal and type in startx). Also, the ssh client used to connect to console.sb9 must be configured to forward X11 (which should already be the case for the SSH client on Display machine). Invoking GUI is explained in the below steps.113 4. '''GUI'''[[BR]] The GUI used to drive the demo is written in TCL/Tk. Console of sb9 normally has the necessary software to run this GUI.
