Hi Sen,
I cc'd our awips2-users mailing list, which includes the other beta testers.
If you have installed the EDEX server, the awips2-server group, on the
same machine as CAVE then you would connect to localhost. If you have
installed the EDEX server on a machine separate from the CAVE
workstation, then you will need to connect to the server name.
Step 12 here
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/beta_install.html
shows the steps for filling in and validating the Connectivity
Preferences dialog.

Hi Michael,
We (i.e. Steven) have installed the CAVE on our machine here. I think we need
to know which server to connect to. Please let us know what the next step is.
Thanks,
Sen

Sen and Steven,
The LDM is required in order to ingest data from the IDD, and the package
awips2-ldm is included in the 13.2.1 beta release form Unidata. GEMPAK is not
required, and at this point isn't included with AWIPS2 at all. That work
remains undone by NCEP and Unidata.
You can find the package and instructions at the following URL, which requires
a Unidata account to log in (same account used to download GEMPAK).

Please follow step 3 carefully, you must have users awips and ldm and group
fxalpha for both accounts.
I am preparing 13.4.1 for the next Unidata beta release in the next couple of
weeks, but from the testing I've done so far I may wait for 13.5 due to the
PostgreSQL update issues and a problem with heap memory that didn't exist
before 13.4.
Let me know if you need assistance during the install. I've CC'd Jeff Weber on
this email, he is assisting me with AWIPS2 user support at Unidata.
Best,

Hello Michael,
How're things going? I wanted to let you know that we are planning to install
AWIPS II on a rebuilt linux machine. I am ccing this email to Steven who is the
IT for my department.
Do I have to install LDM or GEMPAK on the client machine? I remembered you
mentioned last time that you have a AWIPS II tar file for users. Would you
please let us know where to get it?
Thanks for your time.
Sen
