8. Continue with the next procedure “Create the Control Team” .
Create the Control Team
The goal of teaming is to create two teams, one for the control network and one for
the FTP/streaming network. The teaming should be set up such that the first physical
port on the motherboard and the first physical port on the dual Ethernet adapter are
teamed for control. The second physical port on the motherboard and the second
physical port on the dual Ethernet adapter are teamed for FTP.
Prior to K2 system software release 3.2.5x in the Fall of 2007, there was a bug in the
teaming software for which the work around required creating a team named “DO
NOT USE”. With release 3.2.5x., drivers were updated and the bug was fixed. The fix
is available on K2 Media Clients shipping after the release of 3.2.5x. Earlier K2
Media Clients retain the same drivers, even if the system software is updated, and so
must use continue to use the “DO NOT USE” work around if teaming must be
configured. Use the procedure appropriate for your K2 Media Client.
Create the Control Team on systems shipping before 3.2.5x
Use this procedure if the K2 Media Client shipped from Grass Valley prior to release
3.2.5x in the Fall of 2007.
