Installation & Service Manual
Enabling the Frame Controller’s Automatic Restore Feature
The frame’s ETH2 or ETH3 controller can backup a card’s configuration parameters and the
card’s data base. When this feature is enabled, the card’s configuration will be preserved
when the card is swapped-out with a new card of the same type.
To activate this feature, refer to the frame’s documentation. See
Data Restoration in the
Densité 3+ FR1 1RU Housing Frame for Densité Modular Products User Manual or in the Densité 3+
FR4 Housing Frame User Manual . See Related Documentation , on page 11.
Networking Essentials
The following network prerequisites must be met:
• Any multiviewer you wish to configure or access by using XEdit or XAdmin must be
connected to an Ethernet switch. See Cabling Diagrams , on page 39 and Multiviewer
Network Connections , on page 42.
• A client workstation must be connected to the LAN or Ethernet switch to access the
multiviewer by using XAdmin or XEdit.
• The Ethernet switch must support 100 Mbps full-duplex connections.
• The port on the Ethernet switch to which the multiviewer is connected should be
configured to auto-negotiate. By default, multiviewers have their Ethernet ports set to
auto-negotiate.
If a switch does not support auto-negotiation, the recommended settings to be made
on both the multiviewer and the Ethernet switch are 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
Assigning an IP Address to Each Device in your System
Multiviewers and most peripheral devices that are part of a KMX-3921 system
communicate through a TCP/IP network. See Configuring your system’s network
parameters includes the following:
• Assigning an IP address, and specifying the appropriate network mask, gateway
address, and a system name for each multiviewer. Refer to Setting the Multiviewer’s IP
addresses , on page 58.
• Assigning an IP address, and specifying the appropriate network mask, gateway
address to the frame’s controller. Refer to the:
• Densité 3+ FR1 documentation: Densité 3+ FR1 1RU Housing Frame for Densité
Modular Products User Manual .
• Densité 3+ FR4 documentation: Densité 3+ FR4 Housing Frame User Manual .
See Related Documentation , on page 11.
• Configuring the RCP-200, if available. Refer to Configuring the RCP-200 , on page 114.
IMPORTANT
There is a risk that the Ethernet connection to the multiviewer will fail if the
multiviewer’s Ethernet port’s configuration is not the same as the
Ethernet switch’s configuration to which the multiviewer is connected,
and the switch or multiviewer reboots.
