Registration is required.  There is no fee for this meeting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The May 2002 AG Tutorial will serve as an introduction to the technical 
aspects of the Access Grid and be suitable for new sites that are 
interested in bring up nodes or troubleshooting existing nodes.  It will 
feature hands on demonstrations for technical users and staff. This 
tutorial will be split into two tracks.

The Introduction to the Access Grid track will cover the components, 
assembly, and operation of an Access Grid node, and will include hands-on 
participation with Access Grid equipment. The Advanced Topics track will 
cover in detail the two areas that raise the most questions with Access 
Grid sites: audio and networking. We will cover the audio subsystem of the 
Access Grid in detail, beginning with necessary background in digital audio 
and ending with advanced tuning and troubleshooting. We will spend some 
time on configuration and debugging of multicast networks, with coverage of 
network debugging that normal mortals can perform.

We encourage your participation, however, will be limiting this tutorial to 
approximately 40 total registrants. There will be 20 slots for our "Intro 
to the AG" track and 20 slots for our "Advanced Topics" track.  If interest 
in this particular tutorial content is overwhelming, we may repeat the 
tutorial program in the near future.

In light of our space limitations, please *only* attend if you have not 
been able to take advantage of previous tutorials.
