Frame Sync Cards
Frame sync cards differ in treatment from router control cards.
When you place a frame sync card, with its backplane module, in a slot in a router frame, the
card initially acquires a default IP address that is based on the slot number: the lower octet of
the IP address is the slot number (in the range 1 to 64). The default subnet is 192.168.3.xxx.
You can — and should — assign specific IP addresses to all frame sync input cards.
After you establish (or at least learn) the IP addresses of frame sync cards in the ‘Ethernet
Settings’ page, you can then configure their frame sync functions using Miranda’s iControl-Solo
software.
 Assigning IP addresses is especially important for the two frames of an expanded NV8576-
Plus. The two frames have identical slot numbering. Using the defaults for IP address will
probably result in duplicate IP addresses on the network you use to configure the cards. You
must assign specific IP addresses to such cards.
 You can also access the frame sync card in a browser. The browser application (built into the
frame sync card) lets you change the card’s IP address or download a new configuration.
(See Updating an IP Address on page 137.)
