20Aug17 ~11:00CDT Museum switched from cell modem to Ubiquity wifi

Gary set up the dsm to report through either cell modem directly to boulder, or through the ubiquity to the Flux2 computer routing through the internet to boulder eol-rt-data.  Both methods work and we initially ran cell overnight, then switched to ubiquity around noon Sunday the 20th.   Gary created a nice script to make the switch easy.   Here's his description.

cd ~daq/isfs/projects/ARTSE/ISFS/scripts
cp config_interfaces config_interfaces.modem
vi config_interfaces.modem

...find the line that says this:
museum    00:80:66:08:94:72 192.168.154.108  eth0
and change the end of the line from eth0 to eth1.
Save the file.

Run it:
./config_interfaces.modem

Then later when you want to switch to the base, run the original script to go back to the wifi/Ubiquity:
./config_interfaces

We then found that doing a reboot worked better than just an ifdown/ifup cycling of eth0/1.
