Cabinet (mac): Found inside the right door of the cabinet and often on the outside of this door too.
Top- and Bottom Sensor (mac): Found close to the connector that goes into the cabinet and also on close to the sensors.
Pictures of each cage
When leaving a cage, we want to document it, simply by taking pictures. This is valuable and simple-to-get data that we often get use for for a variety of reasons.
Here is a what information we capture with the images:
Pic. 1: Feeder, Sensor Placement, and Cage Cabinet.
Pic. 2: Cage Cabinet Mounting, Cage-Side information
Pic. 3 and so on: The more the better. Its important to take pictures of unordinary things related to our products.
Barge documentation
Often a simple manual restart can do the trick to fix an issue. To avoid having long conversations about where things are, how they look, and how it is connected, we want to store information by taking pictures in addition to having a network diagram.
Bluegrove Server
Take a picture containing the server and the point where it is connected at the specific location. Make sure to capture the ports on both ends of the ethernet cable as well.
Barge antenna(Rocket)
The pictures above is valuable information to have.
