====== Completing the paperwork and shipping modules at Hobart ====== * If the modules are being shipped: * If the ares mailserver is working then use your webmail to print off a copy of the email. Otherwise, use emacs /vlbobs/ngs/logs/hb_end.mail and print off one copy. * Now you need to enter the shipment info into the NRAO VLBA tracking system. Go to [[http://magnolia.nrao.edu/track]] . It will ask you for a user name and password which you should get from Brett but which is also on a sticky note on the wall above the fax machine. * Select the correlator destination and press the ''Make a shipment'' button. * In the next screen, change the shipper to DHL and fill in the left hand box with the following information. The system requires a very particular format. e.g.:DHL airwaybill number #R1328hb USN-0074/960/1024 USN-0074/960/1024 The experiment code needs to be preceded by a hash and the module name (the third entry) need to be entered twice with only a single space between them. Make sure you press ''Enter'' after the second module entry too. The full name also needs to be used, as above. * Press the ''Submit Shipment'' button and then ''Record Shipment''. * Finally, print two copies of the ''Shipment Record for HB'' screen * Cover letter/Customs declaration - Next go to the office and use Brett's linux machine (radst1). * Run OpenOffice Writer and have a look in "recent documents" for a file with a name like''BONN_R1327.doc''. Choose one which has the same destination this module. Alternatively, open the folder ''/home/breid/Manager_public/'' and open a file directly. Again, choose one that has the same destination. First, save the newly opened file to a name that indicates the name of the experiment being processed, e.g. ''BONN_R1328.doc'' to avoid overwriting the original. * Edit the experiment name, date, DHL code and the name of the sender. * Save it again and print 5 copies. * Get the oldest box from the storeroom and remove any old labels. * Get the module casing from inside the box and screw it onto the module using the screws in a ziplock bag - this is normally near the whiteboard in the control room. * Put the sealed module inside the box together with: * A copy of the shipping record, * one of DHL declarations and the ''hobart 12m has completed...'' email. * Tape it up tightly, attach the address and experiment labels. * On the Experiment label, record the name, Box 1/1, DHL AWB#344... where AWB#344 is the billing number. * Attach the clear plastic pouch to the box and leave the DHL waybill and three copies of the shipping declaration on top of it from Brett to sign. * The final DHL declaration and Shipping Notice should be kept with the printed log, and left on the box for Brett to file. * Finally, check Brett's address book (on manager) for DHL-pickup. Give them a call to arrange collection. When they ask what the contents are, say "Computer parts". The account name is "University of Tasmania radiotelescope". They'll send around a van to collect it.
