Broadlinx
The Broadlinx option, which consists of Broadlinx software running on
the NR-33000 Sync/NIC/OPM board, allows SMS 7000 or Encore
control using Grass Valley CPL (Control Point Language) through an
Ethernet connection.
Broadlinx also provides web pages for the following operations:
• Network configuration of the NR-33000 board(s)
• Downloading of software upgrades to the various boards in the
system
• System monitoring using Internet Explorer
When licensed to do so, Broadlinx will also support SNMP/NetCentral
monitoring.
Network Configuration
LAN devices used with Trinix (e.g., a monitor PC or the SMS system)
must be on the same network as the Broadlinx board, or else be con-
nected to the board through a network router.
The following applies to NR-33000 configuration using Broadlinx
HTTP web pages. (For information about configuration using the Net-
Config application, please refer to the NetConfig Instruction Manual,
part no. 071 8190 xx. NetConfig includes a “discovery” feature which
eliminates the need to change the PC IP setting during configuration.)
Simple Network
Where there is only a monitor PC and a Broadlinx board in an isolated
network environment, change the monitor PC network address to be
compatible with the Broadlinx board default setting, then browse to
and configure the board as appropriate.
1. Make the PC’s network settings compatible with the Broadlinx
board’s default values:
a. Use the PC's Network Settings dialog to set the TCP/IP address
to 192.168.253.201 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. All
other TCP/IP network settings are irrelevant at this point.
