Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 47)

• The physical device you are configuring has been discovered and is assigned to a
device in the SiteConfig system description.
• SiteConfig has communication with the device.
• The device is defined in the system description with an appropriate network
interface.
Use this task to modify managed network interfaces on Aurora Playout devices as follows:
• Aurora Playout Server
• Aurora Playout Client
• Aurora Playout Assignment List Plug-in
1. In the Interfaces list view determine the interface to configure, as follows:
• Identify the interface with which SiteConfig is currently communicating,
indicated by the green star overlay icon. This should be the control network
interface.
• Verify that the interface over which SiteConfig is currently communicating is
in fact the interface defined for the control network in the system description.
If this is not the case, you might have the control network cable connected to
the wrong interface port. The control connection should always be the first port
on the motherboard, except when you have a loopback connection.
• Configure the control network interface first before configuring any of the other
interfaces.
• After you have successfully configured the control network interface, return to
this step to configure each remaining interface.
2. In the Interfaces list view, check the icon for the interface you are configuring.
If the icon has a red stop sign overlay, it indicates that current settings and
planned settings do not match or that there is some other problem. Hover over
the icon to read a tooltip with information about the problem.
3. In the Interfaces list view, right-click the interface you are configuring and select
Edit .
The Managed Network Interface Details dialog box opens.
