Installing Control Point software
Installing Control Point software
If you are using the Grass Valley control point PC, it comes from the factory with
software installed, so you should not need to install software.
If you intend to use a PC that you own as a control point PC, make sure that you
choose a PC that meets system requirements for supporting Control Point software.
Refer to
“Control point PC system requirements” on page 139 . Then install software
and configure as follows:
1. Set up Windows user accounts according to your site’s security policies. The
accounts and passwords that match the factory default accounts on K2 systems are
as follows:
• Administrator:adminK2
• K2admin:K2admin
• K2user:K2user
2. Install the following software, as it is required to support K2 Control Point
software:
• MSXML 4.0
• .NET Framework 1.1
You can find this software on the K2 System Software CD.
3. Install K2 Control Point PC software, as referenced earlier in this chapter.
4. It is recommended that you install the following software, so that you can
accomplish a broad range of operational and administrative tasks from the control
point PC:
• Java Real Time Environment Update 7 or higher. Required for the HP Ethernet
Switch configuration interface, which is used for K2 Storage Systems (external
storage).
• QuickTime 7, for local viewing of exported media. You can find this on the K2
System Software CD.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader, for reading documentation from the K2 Documentation
CD.
5. Install NetCentral and its supporting software, such as the following:
• NetCentral Manager
• Basic IIS 6.0 package
• SNMP (Windows Components)
Refer to the NetCentral User Guide for complete installation and configuration
instructions.
NetCentral is required and included as part of the product for external storage K2
Media Clients and the K2 Storage System. NetCentral is optional but
recommended for internal storage K2 Media Clients.
