SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1. System Overview
The VersAtive
®
Pro Mondo is four separate and independent transcoders called Nodes. As independent nodes, each may be
powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the
rear of the chassis.

1.2 Node Initial Configuration
NOTE:
Each individual Node must have default Management (MGMT) port IP addresses
changed from 192.168.0.23 before connecting them to the management switch.
Each of the four nodes in a Mondo chassis are factory configured identically. It is important to understand that the standard
ATX Networks default IP address of 192.168.0.23 for the MGMT port is assigned to all nodes. Before connecting each node
management port MGMT (ETH0) to the management switch, the IP addresses must be re-configured.
Refer to chapter
“STARTUP” on page 3-1 for further guidance.
1.3 Node Interface Panel
The Mondo chassis includes four front control panels on the handles, Figure 1-1 , which interface to each of the nodes. Each
control panel is identical and provides you with system monitoring and control for one server node. LEDs indicate system
power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset
button are also included. There are several LEDs on the front control panel to keep you constantly informed of the overall
status of each node. This section explains the meanings of LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to
take.
