IP address

Static IP address of the IVC-32 card, assigned by IT or the Network Administrator. This is
used by IP panels and Concert clients to communicate with the matrix via the IVC-32 card.

Note:

It is important to ensure that the IVC-32 card IP address does not clash with any other IP
address on the network (another device is using the same IP address). If there is an IP
address clash the IVC-32 card may repeatedly lose the connection with IP panels or
Concert clients. If the IVC-32 card IP address clashes it may also cause the IVC-32 card to
crash.

It is recommended that the IVC-32 is given a static IP address. The V-Series panels and
Concert clients IP addresses should be assigned by a DHCP server.

5.40.9

Subnet mask

Subnet mask used by the IVC-32 card to define the address range the card can access.
Typically this is assigned by IT or the Network Administrator. The default is 255.255.0.0.

5.40.10 Default gateway

The address of the gateway (router) to be used to communicate with external devices such
as IP panels and Concert clients over a wider IP network. This address is optional but if
used must fall within the address range defined by the subnet mask.

5.40.11 External IP address

If the Matrix is operating behind a firewall then port address forwarding can be used to
expose a LAN-connected device to the outside world. Typically this is assigned by IT or
the Network Administrator.

This IP address must be manually entered on IP panels to communicate directly with the
IVC-32 card. This address must be a unique address on the internet. It is not affected by
the subnet mask.

5.40.12 External IP address IP port

IP port used when communicating directly with the IVC-32 card using the External IP
address. The default port number is 6001 and this should not be changed unless the
default port number on all external devices is also changed to the new port number.

5.40.13 Panel codecs

The Show ports links displays which ports on the IVC-32 cards are configured to use the
G722 codec.

The codec options are configured in the IP Panel Settings under Advanced Settings for
each port.

Configuring an IVC-32 redundant card

You can add an IVC-32 Redundant Card that provides fail-over redundancy for one or
more IVC-32 Cards in the matrix.

Note:

You can only configure IVC-32 redundant cards up to the number of IVC-32 Cards in the
matrix.

To add an IVC-32 Redundant card:
