Hi Lee, 

Apologies for the late response...long weekend :)

First, you would need to install the LDM, please see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/

Second, once we can verify (see you electronically) your LDM is up and running we will contact SUNY-Albany on your behalf.

Someone at Harvard had the LDM running in the past, but that machine is no longer reachable, it was:
 	
levantine.harvard.edu

administered by:
Nick Dechman  	
ndechman|a_t-s_i_g_n|pacific.harvard.edu  	
617-495-3457

..not really an issue (as that machine is no longer alive), more of an fyi...it is always best to be prudent with bandwidth, so we prefer not to have multiple LDM's requesting externally.

Let us know when you have the LDM up and running (should not take more than 10-30 minutes)and then let us know the IP # and FQDN of the machine the LDM is running on,  and we will proceed from there.

If you encounter problems installing the LDM, please send your questions to:

support-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

...or just respond to this message once you are ready to begin ingest of the NLDN data feed.

Cheers,

Jeff
