 == Setting up your serial server ==
 
-TBD.  We hope to have a VMWare image with the necessary software for DigiEtherlite devices soon.
+This section is a work in progress.  Here are some notes:
+
+We have VMware images for both DIGI Etherlite serial boxes and IPMI based serial ports.
+
+You will need to make sure that root from your boss node can log into the serial server.  This is so that groups can be added to the group file when new projects are created.  
+
+Copy your ssh keys to the new serial server:
+
+{{{
+[jhickey@boss.isi.deterlab.net:~] > sudo scp ~root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@capture2digi:.ssh/authorized_keys
+}}}
+
+If you have trouble logging in automatically and you are using a CentOS VM, you may have to manually log in and issue:
+
+{{{
+restorecon -R -v /root/.ssh
+}}}
+
+Test out that you can ssh as root to the serial server VM:
+
+{{{
+[jhickey@boss.isi.deterlab.net:~] > sudo ssh capture2digi
+Last login: Tue Dec 18 22:07:23 2012 from 192.168.252.1
+[root@capture2digi ~]#
+}}}
+
+Now add the serial server to the database:
+
+{{{
+[jhickey@boss.isi.deterlab.net:~] > mysql tbdb
+Reading table information for completion of table and column names
+You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

+Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
+Your MySQL connection id is 15870862
+Server version: 5.0.92-log FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.0.92
+
+Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
