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.
