Modifying the Hosts file on K2 or PVS for single send to playback
No changes are required for single send to playback.
Modifying the Hosts file on K2 or PVS for dual send to playback
The following is based on the previous examples used of “dual” alias.
1. Open the following file using Notepad or some other editor.
C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts
2. Enter text in two lines for each K2 or PVS system that are part of dual-send
group.
a. Start with the Primary / Master device first. Type the IP address for the
control network, then use the TAB key or Space bar to insert a few
spaces. Type the machine name, such as GVMX-d54, then use the TAB
key or Space bar to insert a few spaces and add the alias “dual” with the
“_master” suffix for the master device.
b. On the next line the Secondary / Slave is added. Type the IP address for
the control network, then use the TAB key or Space bar to insert a few
spaces. Type the machine name, such as GVMX-d55, then use the TAB
key or Space bar to insert a few spaces and add the alias “dual” with the
“_slave” suffix for the slave device.
c. NOTE: there is no need to configure the Secondary / Slave device.
The entries should look similar to the following example, where the first line are
the address for the primary Profile named gvmx-d54, and the next line are the
address for the secondary K2 named gvmx-d55.
192.165.100.20 gvmx-d54 dual_master # control network
192.165.100.21 gvmx-d55 dual_slave
# control network
