\section{Install Ubuntu on the laptop}
\label{sec:install-ubuntu}
If you end up with a bare laptop without an OS installed, you have to follow the
laptop installation guide written by Julian for the SVEC PTS system:
\begin{itemize}
\item \url{http://cern.ch/go/H9tv}
\end{itemize}
Note that this guide can be followed selectively, for example you need not set up your
system to gain remote access to the laptop, the installation of the system can also be done
on the laptop directly. However, the steps related to network drivers and configuration
should be followed in order to have a properly working PTS system.
The guide should be followed until \textbf{step 17} of section \textbf{Set up the PTS user account}.
After this step, the guide is SVEC-related and need not be followed. We will continue with
the details in the next section to test our system and network was properly installed.

\section{Setting up the ELMA crate}
\label{sec:elma-setup}
\begin{enumerate}
\item The ELMA crate should be configured to have the password \verb=ADMIN= for the \verb=admin= account
\item Login to the ELMA crate to test the setup in Section~\ref{sec:install-ubuntu}:
\begin{verbatim}
$ telnet elma
Trying 192.168.20.22...
Connected to elma.
Escape character is '^]'.
login:admin
password: ADMIN
%>
\end{verbatim}
\item If the prompt appears as above, the setup is fine. Now we need to disable the telnet ping
that the SysMon does, so it doesn't get in the way of our Python scripts:
\begin{verbatim}
%> telnetping 0
%> saveenv
%> reboot
\end{verbatim}
\item This last command will reboot the SysMon to store the telnetping settings, so the connection to the
ELMA will be lost. This is an expected behaviour and should not get in our way. Simply reconnect
as in step 2 to make sure the connection still works after reboot.
