The first thing a station does when the cellular modem connects to the Verizon ISP is to register itself with the dynamic name service, dyndns.com.
So, a good check on whether a station has come online is to login to our account at http://dyndns.com
and check the times of the host registrations.
Ask Gordon, Ling or Gary for our account name and password at dyndns.com.
Once you're logged in, click on the My Hosts link. You will see the 7 isfs stations, and two spares, along with the iss systems. The time (MST) that a station last registered with dyndns is shown. Click on Host Update Logs to see a listing of all recent registrations.
