# jive5ab — Interfaces

## Network Ports

| Port | Protocol | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2620 | TCP | inbound | MK5 control protocol (Field System commands) |
| 4991 | UDP | inbound | VDIF frame receive from VDIFPacker |

The VDIFPacker must be configured with `udp.dest_port: 4991` and `udp.dest_ip` pointing to
the jive5ab container or host to deliver frames.

## MK5 Control Protocol

jive5ab implements the standard Mark5 command set over TCP on port 2620. The Field System
issues `record=on` / `record=off` commands to this interface to gate recording.

## Recording Path

The recording path inside the container is `/data/`. It is mapped to the host filesystem
via the `jive5ab_recording_path` Ansible variable.
