Entries for Frame Sync Cards
These are the columns of the table as applicable to frame sync input cards:
Adding and Removing Control Cards
Adding Control Cards
MRC detects most control cards on its network automatically. These appear automatically in the
‘Ethernet Settings’ page. However, if a control card is on a different subnet, it is not detectable,
and you must add it to the Ethernet settings list manually. Use the ‘Add Device’ button:
In this page, virtual control cards must also be added to the list manually.
Removing Control Cards
When automatically detected control cards are removed from the network, they are also auto-
matically removed from the ‘Ethernet Settings’ page. You might need to click ‘Refresh List’ at the
bottom of the page to see those network changes.
Manually added cards, including virtual control cards, can be removed with the ‘Remove Device’
button:
Column Description
Update Check the check box to select the frame sync card listed on that row and activate
fields for updating. You must click ‘Update Settings’ at the bottom of the page to per-
form the update. Merely changing a field in the table does not cause an update.
Online The state of the frame sync card.
The word ‘Online’ means that the frame sync card is available.
The word ‘Offline’ means that the frame sync card is not available.
The color of the circle in this field shows the quality of MRC’s communication with the
control card:
Green means good.
Yellow means that MRC can communicate with the card, but the card is “not healthy”.
Red means there is no communication (but MRC detects the card).
Grey means that the frame sync card is offline and communication with MRC has
ceased.
Name A name you can assign to the frame sync card.
Type The type (at present) is “Hybrid Input Frame Sync.”
IP Address The IP address currently assigned to the frame sync card (for the sake of configuring
its frame sync functions).
Subnet Mask The subnet mask currently assigned to the frame sync card. It is recommended that
you leave the subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.
See The MRC Network on page 139 .
Gateway IP Gateways are not used unless you are placing the frame sync card on a subnet differ-
ent from the rest of your system. We recommend that you do not change gateway IP
addresses unless you consult a system administrator.
