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.
