IP Address Information

Storing Video Processor Frame IP address information on the backplane of
the Frame allows control processor board replacement without the need to
enter the IP address of the Frame.

Node settings, however, are not stored on the Frame’s EERPOM. After
control processor board replacement you will need to go to the Node Set-
tings Menus (

License Information

License information stored on the Video Processor Frame EEPROMS deter-
mine which features are available for use. Licensing is keyed to the serial
number (System ID) for the Karrera Video Processor Frame.

Note

If you have a Video Processor Frame and are replacing it with a new Frame,
the new license stored in the EEPROM chips for the new Frame is issued to
the serial number for the new Frame.
