5 | | The majority of SDR devices in the ORBIT grid are various generations of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Software_Radio_Peripheral Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRP)] . Each USRP, whether USB or Ethernet based, is attached to a [wiki:Hardware/hNodes/cNodeVer3 generation 3 node] and is physically located on a small shelf immediately underneath the node (as shown in the antenna figure below). |

7 | | In the case of USRP devices, the USB interface is attached to one of the USB2 ports on a corresponding node. For USRP2s (and N210s), the Ethernet interface of each device is connected to a (third) dedicated Ethernet interface on the node (eth2) that is used solely for USRP related communication. |

9 | | The USRP X310s are attached to the new [wiki:Hardware/hNodes/cNodeVer4 generation 4 nodes]. They are attached to a 10 Gigabit NIC on the node via SFP+ direct attach cable, and are attached via fiber to our aggregate switch. (Note, fiber link is still undergoing testing/debugging.) |

11 | | The nodes with USRP devices are distributed through the grid as shown in the [wiki:Hardware/fDevices/cSDR/gUSRP#grid deployment table]. In addition to grid deployment two sandboxes are available for development: [wiki:Hardware/bDomains/cSandboxes/cSB3 sandbox3] is equipped with [wiki:Hardware/fDevices/cSDR/gUSRP#sb3 two USRP2s], while [wiki:Hardware/bDomains/cSandboxes/eSB5 sanbox5] has [wiki:Hardware/fDevices/cSDR/gUSRP#sb5 two USRPs] attached. |
