Chapter 3 System connections and configuration
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. The Host file
specifies a device name for each IP address used on the network. Refer to the
Windows documentation or your network administrator for more information.
4. Configure the control connection on the stand-alone K2 Media Client as follows:
• On a system with the factory default network configurations, configure the
network connection with the following name:
Control Connection #1
This is GigE port 1 on the rear panel.
• If you have teamed your ports, configure the network connection with the
following name:
Control Team
This is GigE ports 1 and 3 on the rear panel. Refer to “Teaming Ethernet ports
on internal storage models” on page 63 for more information about teaming.
CAUTION: 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.)
5. Configure the FTP/streaming connection (if needed) on the stand-alone K2 Media
Client. This connection must have an IP address that is on a different subnet from
the control connection. Configure as follows:
• On a system with the factory default network configurations, configure the
network connection with the following name:
Media Connection #1
This is GigE port 2 on the rear panel.
• If you have teamed your ports, configure the network connection with the
following name:
FTP Team
This is GigE ports 2 and 4 on the rear panel. Refer to “Teaming Ethernet ports
on internal storage models” on page 63 for more information about teaming.
6. If prompted, shutdown and restart Windows.
7. If you are going to FTP/stream video between K2 systems, proceed to “Streaming
video between K2 systems” ; otherwise, the K2 system is ready for standard data
networking tasks.
