We need the ability to remotely monitor and control both S-Pol and CHILL, since we will want to remotely operate both radars. Since S-Pol is likely to be located at least 1 hour away from Foothills Lab, we need the ability to fix problems without minimum 2 hour round trip.
This document captures the requirements for remote monitoring and control.
We need the ability to cycle power on key servers in each radar. For S-Pol, this would include:

In addition to power cycling to restart a stuck computer, we need the ability to turn off computers because
In addition to controlling power, we also need the ability to have remote console access to the remote computers, in case we need to debug booting issues (and can not remote login).
We need the ability to monitor key temperatures, voltages, and currents throughout each radar. We need an auto-dialer that can notify a list of people of the following conditions:

If the new site has a landline, we can probably use our existing auto-dialer. If we don't have a land-line, there are new dialers that use cell phones. The autodialer needs to dial a list of numbers, which should be easily modified. The autodialer does not have to give precise status for all conditions - it would be ok to require someone to access a web site at S-Pol to get more details.
