RPMs for the latest version of the multicast beacon are now availalbe. 
Please install on your nodes (on the video capture machine is good) asap. 
This replaces the old version. It has a number of enhancements and is more 
reliable.

You should be able to install with the following commands as root:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nlanr-beacon stop
rpm -U 
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/nlanr-beacon-0.63- 
1.i386.rpm
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nlanr-beacon start

To be safe, reboot your machine after that.

This RPM requires the jre 1.2.2 rpm to be installed:

rpm -i 
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~olson/AG/Software/Linux/RPMS/jre-1.2.2-4.i386.rpm

As a reminder, to have the beacon start at boot run as root:

/sbin/chkconfig nlanr-beacon on

This RPM installs a viewer that you can invoke with

	/usr/local/ag/bin/nlanr-viewer
