Network Planning
Overview
This section describes the information needed planning and configuring
the networks on which the Trinix Multiviewer (TMV) option will operate.
The TMV system will auto-negotiate 100/1000 Mb connection for the fol-
lowing networks:
• The TMV Facility LAN
• The TMV Control LAN.
The Facility LAN is used to retrieve “router data” from the AccuSwitch or
Encore controller. During configuration, the TMV Router data will be
received from the AccuSwitch or Encore controller. Tally Systems (TSL or
Image Video) will use the Facility LAN to communicate with the TMV
board. The Facility LAN is also used to send switch requests to the control
system for features such as destination follow and discrete audio.
The Control LAN is used by the Editor application for publishing the con-
figuration data to the TMV card. The TMV Control application retrieves
layouts from the board and checks the bezel using the Control LAN. All the
TMV components broadcast "I'm Alive" messages on this LAN.
LAN Addresses
LAN addresses for the TMV boards can be set using NetConfig or the TMV
board’s Web Page. The TMV LAN ports must be set to addresses that are
unique within your facility. For example, you might choose:
• Facility LAN - 192.168.175.xxx
• Control LAN - 192.168.176.xxx
The TMV LANs must be on isolated networks in order to ensure system
integrity. The TMV facility LAN should NOT be on the same network as the
Encore/Jupiter/Tally facility LAN or a general-purpose LAN such as an IT
network. The TMV control LAN must be an isolated network. Encore/
Jupiter/Tally control, IT, and so forth, cannot use this LAN.
