Setting Up IP Addresses
Gateway
CAUTION Resetting the default Gateway address for the Kayak HD frame can cause you
to lose all network connections and all switcher functionality. This operation
should only be done by a trained engineer. If you lose switcher function you
must contact Grass Valley Support (see Contacting Grass Valley
on page 4 ).
Most users will never need to reset the Gateway address.
The Gateway is a point on the network that allows that network to connect
with other networks. It can send traffic from its own local network to the
outside world to communicate with other networks. Gateways help to
control traffic within your local network.
There are some situations in which certain users may find it necessary to
reset the Gateway address.
• Running the Sidepanel software from a remote computer that is not on
the same network as the frame or panel.
• Ignite systems may use more than a single network and require a dif-
ferent Gateway.
• NetCentral users may be on a different network than the Kayak frame.
• Routers may be on a different network.
• Machine control over IP
• Simulcast broadcasts
To set the Gateway address for a device using Telnet:
1. First you must physically connect your computer terminal to the frame
as described in the section on Open a Telnet Connection
on page 91 .
2. Type in the command:
routeAdd ,
Example : If you want to set the Gateway IP to be 192.168.0.217 you
would type in the command:
routeAdd "0.0.0.0", "192.168.0.217"
The setting "0.0.0.0" would be valid for all the networks.
The device specified in the second address in the command
("192.168.0.217" in the example) is the one that becomes the
Gateway for the frame.
The VxWorks operating system accepts the new Gateway address
immediately without a reboot.
