User Access and Mission Control
Access to PRIMO will be possible on 3 levels:
Level I access by the world allows
the web server at Palmer Station to be mirrored through the continuous
satellite link to a server in Woods Hole and Mississippi, providing
world wide access to
selected processed data and images from the web cameras and VPR
acquired by
PRIMO. Data and images may be viewed, but no control of PRIMO is
possible at
Level I.
Level II access allows control of
the winch and webcams on PRIMO by designated users either
at Palmer Station or through the internet with appropriate
password protection. Control is in the
form of Mission files that describe in a high level language what
sampling
protocol the user would like PRIMO to execute.
Level III
access allows a user to
enter through a VPN gateway and telnet into any one of the IP addresses
of the
RS232 servers, the PC104 controller, or the camera servers on PRIMO.
Clearly,
Level III access would be possible for only a few people either
stationed at
Palmer or on the mainland.
