<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>This is a follow up email to the previous EIDS discontinuation notice. If you have already switched to PDL, or the PDL fed QuakeWatch servers, no action is required to avoid data interruption.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>NEIC plans to discontinue EIDS submissions this wednesday September 18, 2013, around 11am mountain time</b>. Users who wish to continue receiving NEIC messages using EIDS will need to convert to the "QuakeWatch servers, fed by PDL" option described in the original discontinuation notice ( <a href="https://geohazards.usgs.gov/pipermail/ehp-software/2013-August/000009.html">https://geohazards.usgs.gov/pipermail/ehp-software/2013-August/000009.html</a> ) before this time to avoid any interruption.</div>

Subject: EIDS discontinuation notice<br>To: Lynda Lastowka <<a href="mailto:llastowka@usgs.gov">llastowka@usgs.gov</a>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">Hello,
<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">This email was already sent to the EHP Software mailing list, ( <a href="https://geohazards.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/ehp-software" target="_blank">https://geohazards.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/ehp-software</a> ), and you may or may not have already received this information. You are receiving this email because we believe you are a contact for an EIDS client currently connecting to one of the EHP EIDS servers <a href="http://eids1.cr.usgs.gov" target="_blank">eids1.cr.usgs.gov</a>, <a href="http://eids2.wr.usgs.gov" target="_blank">eids2.wr.usgs.gov</a>, or <a href="http://eids3.gps.caltech.edu" target="_blank">eids3.gps.caltech.edu</a>. Please forward this message to a more appropriate contact if you know of one.</pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">The EHP is migrating clients away from EIDS, with a planned shut-off date
of October 31, 2013. Existing users have several options to continue
receiving earthquake information in near-realtime:
- Realtime Feeds & Notifications
<a href="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/" target="_blank">http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/</a>
- PDL, the replacement for EIDS and QDM
<a href="http://ehppdl1.cr.usgs.gov/userguide/" target="_blank">http://ehppdl1.cr.usgs.gov/userguide/</a>
- QuakeWatch servers, fed by PDL
These are essentially EIDS servers, but only provide access to a subset of
the information available via PDL including earthquake locations.
The client configuration files will need to be changed to have entries like
these:
# host address of server:
serverHostAddress = "<a href="http://quakewatch1.cisn.org" target="_blank">quakewatch1.cisn.org</a>"
# port number of server:
serverPortNumber = 39977
# true to enable fail-over reconnect to alternate servers:
altServersEnabledFlag = true
# list of alternate servers for fail-over reconnect:
alternateServersList = "<a href="http://quakewatch2.cisn.org:39977" target="_blank">quakewatch2.cisn.org:39977</a>,qu**
<a href="http://akewatch3.cisn.org:39977" target="_blank">akewatch3.cisn.org:39977</a> <<a href="http://quakewatch3.cisn.org:39977/" target="_blank">http://quakewatch3.cisn.org:39977/</a>>"
# file holding server-login information:
loginInfoFileName = "conf/LoginInfoFile.txt"
An authorized login is required to connect to the QuakeWatch servers;
logins can be requested here:
<a href="http://www.cisn.org/software/**login%3Chttp://www.cisn.org/software/login" target="_blank">http://www.cisn.org/software/**login<http://www.cisn.org/software/login</a>>
A login-information file ("conf/LoginInfoFile.txt") containing the
username and password will need to be created, as documented here:
<a href="http://www.isti2.com/QWIDS/**current_dist/QWCubeOutClient/**" target="_blank">http://www.isti2.com/QWIDS/**current_dist/QWCubeOutClient/**</a>
doc/QWConnParams.html#**loginInfoFile<<a href="http://www.isti2.com/QWIDS/current_dist/QWCubeOutClient/doc/QWConnParams.html#loginInfoFile" target="_blank">http://www.isti2.com/QWIDS/current_dist/QWCubeOutClient/doc/QWConnParams.html#loginInfoFile</a>>
If you have any questions about this discontinuation, please contact Lynda
Lastowka <<a href="https://geohazards.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/ehp-software" target="_blank">llastowka at usgs.gov</a>> .
