Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 67)

4. Configure the control connection on the 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.
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 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.
Configure as follows:
a) Configure the network connection with the following name:
Media Connection #1
This is GigE port 2 on the rear panel.
6. If prompted, shutdown and restart Windows.
7. If you are going to FTP/stream video between K2 systems, configure for streaming video between
K2 systems; otherwise, the K2 system is ready for standard data networking tasks.

Streaming video between K2 systems
It is required that FTP/streaming traffic be on a separate subnet from control traffic and, in the case
of a K2 SAN with shared storage K2 clients, separate from media (iSCSI) traffic. To reserve
bandwidth and keep FTP/streaming traffic routed to dedicated ports, IP addresses for FTP/streaming
ports must have double name resolution such that hostnames are appended with the “_he0” suffix.
You can use host tables or another mechanism, such as DNS, to provide the name resolution. This
directs the streaming traffic to the correct port.
In most K2 systems, network name resolution is provided by host tables, which are found in hosts
files. The following procedure describes how to set up hosts tables to provide name resolution for
both the control network and the FTP/streaming network. If you are using other mechanisms for
name resolution, use the host table examples here to guide you. For shared storage K2 clients, also
refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for a discussion of host tables.
Setting up the K2 system for FTP/streaming transfer has the following network requirements:
• For stand-alone internal storage K2 systems, the K2 machine is the source/destination for
FTP/streaming transfers. FTP/streaming traffic uses the FTP GigE port (Media Connection #1)
on the K2 client.
