Grass Valley Prelude v.3.0 - Manual (Page 20)

20 Prelude — Instruction Manual
Section 2 — Installation and Initial Setup
PC Network Configuration
The PC used must be configured to operate on the Prelude standalone net-
work. This is accomplished by setting the IP address of the PC to be com-
patible with the IP addresses of the Prelude system components. In general,
the first three octets of the IP address must be the same, and the last IP
address octet must be unique for each device on the network.
The exact method used to change the IP address of a PC varies, depending
on the computer’s operating system. Before changing the PC’s IP address
you should note down the existing values so you can easily reconfigure the
computer back to normal operation when finished using it with Prelude.
Prelude System Default IP Addresses
You need to know the IP addresses of your Prelude system components.
The default addresses as shipped from the Grass Valley factory are listed
below. However, the IP address of a device may have been changed since
its initial shipment.

(not required for Prelude)
Concerto Frame Primary Controller 192.168.1.34 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Concerto Frame Secondary Controller 192.168.1.35 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
First Control Panel 192.168.1.81 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Each Additional Control Panel Usually increment last octet of IP address by one. (192.168.1.82,
192.168.1.83, etc.). However, duplicate IP addresses may occur.
Defaults
CAUTION Concerto Controller redundant operation employs consecutive IP addresses.
The next higher IP address is reserved for this purpose and cannot be
assigned to another device on the network, even if the Concerto is not oper-
ating redundantly. Serious system communications problems can occur if
this next higher Concerto Controller IP address is used on the network.
Concerto system component IP defaults are compatible and will communi-
cate without network configuration.
Subsequent shipments of Concerto components will ship with default IP
addresses. If these components are added to an existing Prelude system
network, duplicate IP conflicts may occur, which can be resolved using the
NetConfig application.
