 Current computers relevant to radome operations are listed below.
-New servers and other public facing machines being added should ideally follow the same naming scheme (Starfleet Engineers) both for continuity and to avoid namespace conflicts with other MIT entities since we seem to have successfully found a theme no one else was using.

 This desktop computer is a Dell Optiplex 7910 located in 54-2101. It is used for casual (non-compute-heavy) access to the radome SDR data and general desktop use in the shack.
-It is dual homed between RSnet and the RF data network and has a 10GB fiber link for the latter. It also has an Nvidia GPU comarable to that in laforge, albeit this currently does not work with the installed OS.

 This computer is only accessible from within RSnet.

 ====== RF Data Network ======
-The RF-Data fiber networking for the SDR data is separate from RSnet and MITnet in order to avoid contention between SDR data streams and normal network traffic.
+The RF Data fiber networking for the SDR data is separate from RSnet and MITnet in order to avoid contention between SDR data streams and normal network traffic.
-The RF_Data network uses a single 10 GB switch located in 54-2101 (m54-2101-sw2.mitrs.org) to enable UDP connections between the radio at the radome and multiple different client computers. This switch connects via single mode fiber only, except for the management port which is accessible from the normal RS network. Note that presently (2026) only one computer can be in communication with the SDR at a time and will prevent other machines from connecting.

 Currently, two fiber pairs are routed between the Ettus X300 at the radome and the the 54-2101 switch (albeit only one link is presently configured). Multiple fibers connect from the 54-2101 switch to w1xm-eme-1, scotty, and laforge.

-Radome control operates over the normal 1GB RSnet network. This manifests at Mikrotik switches in all locations at W1XM, These switches are arranged in a star configuration and linked to the central node in 54-1911 by 10 GB fiber links. Notably, our currentl router does not have enough SFP ports to support this, so the fiber fanout is from the switch located in the top of the righthand rack above the servers.
