Configure network on stand-alone K2 Summit/Solo

1. If you have not already done so, disable the write filter.

2. Access the Windows desktop on the K2 system. You can do this locally with a connected

keyboard, mouse, and monitor or remotely via the Windows Remote Desktop Connection.

3. Open the Network Connections dialog box:

In the Windows Classic view, select

Start | Settings | Network Connections

.

In the Windows XP view, select

Start | Control Panel | Network Connections

.

4. Continue with standard Windows procedures to configure the TCP/IP protocol properties. You

can set up the network using DHCP, DNS, WINS, or other standard networking mechanisms.

NOTE: On small networks or networks with certain security policies a DHCP server or domain
name server (DNS) might not be available. In this case you can set up a static IP address and
create a host file on each K2 system.

5. Configure the control connection on the stand-alone internal storage K2 system as follows:

a) Configure the network connection with the following name:

Control Team

The control team is GigE ports 1 (Control Connection #1) and 4 (Control Connection #2) on
the rear panel.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should you modify the loopback adapter. The loopback
IP address is 192.168.200.200. Keep that IP address reserved on your network. Don’t assign
it to any other device. If this causes conflicts with your existing network, consult your Grass
Valley representative.

6. Configure the FTP/streaming connection (if needed) on the stand-alone internal storage K2

system.

This connection must have an IP address that is on a different subnet from the control connection.
There are special name resolution requirements for the FTP/streaming network. Refer to the K2
System Guide
.

Configure as follows:

a) Configure the network connection with the following name:

Media Connection #1

This is GigE port 2 on the rear panel.

7. If prompted to restart, enable the write filter, then restart.
