NOAAPORT NOTICE NO. 1130          OCTOBER 6... 1997

SUBJECT   RETRANSMISSION FEATURE TO BE GIVEN LIMITED TRIAL

PREVIOUS MAILINGS HAVE ADVISED YOU OF  THE AWIPS SOFTWARE
RELEASE 2.1 WHICH WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR AWIPS FIELD SITES
TO REQUEST RETRANSMISSION OF MISSING SATELLITE BROADCAST
NETWORK /SBN/ DATA PRODUCTS FROM THE AWIPS NETWORK CONTROL
FACILITY /NCF/ AND TO RECEIVE THE RETRANSMITTED PRODUCTS VIA
THE SBN.  REQUESTS FOR RETRANSMISSION WILL BE SENT FROM THE
FIELD SITES OVER THE AWIPS WIDE AREA NETWORK /WAN/.    THIS
FEATURE IS NOW INSTALLED IN THE NCF AND SOME OF THE AWIPS
FIELD OFFICES BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN ENABLED.

THIS IS TO ADVISE YOU OF A ONE DAY TRIAL OF THE RETRANSMISSION
FEATURE WHICH HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY  OCTOBER 7  1997.
ONLY ONE SITE WILL BE ENABLED TO REQUEST THE RETRANSMISSION
AND DATA WILL BE GATHERED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM
DURING THIS PERIOD.  NOAAPORT USERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS
TEST BECAUSE IT WILL OCCASIONALLY RESULT IN DUPLICATE
PRODUCTS BEING RECEIVED.   IF THE TEST RESULTS FROM THE SINGLE
SITE ARE FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY  MULTI-SITE TESTS WILL BE
SCHEDULED IN THE NEAR FUTURE AT A DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
END
