Configuring the Ethernet Board for TCP/IP
NOTE: If you are connecting to an existing TCP/IP network, you must contact
your network administrator before proceeding with TCP/IP configuration.
Please review this procedure and the Fibre Channel network information
with your network administrator.
The following steps assume that you are not connecting to an existing TCP/IP
network. If you are, see the note above.
1. From Control Panel/Networks, bring up the TCP/IP configuration dialog
box.
2. You must fill in two fields in the TCP/IP dialog box; IP Network Address and
Subnet Mask. For the IP Network Address, Grass Valley Group recommends
the following numbering convention. Note that each Profile must have a
unique IP address.
For the first profile, use 128.181.1.1
For the second profile, use 128.181.1.2
For the third profile, use 128.181.1.3
etc. …
3. For the Subnet mask, use the same value on all Profiles: 255.255.255.0 and
then click
OK
.
Testing Your Ethernet Connection
To test your Ethernet connection:
1. Power off and then reboot the Profile.
2. Verify TCP/IP connectivity between Profiles by opening a command prompt
window and typing
ping 128.181.1.n
, where n is the number for this Profile.
3. Repeat step 2 for at least one other Profile in the network.
