Configuration
You can perform the following tasks using the built-in interface on the SMPTE Gateway. Additional
configuration of the SMPTE Gateway is done using ETC Concert software. Refer to the SMPTE Gateway
device-specific Help in Concert for more information.
View Device Information
The home screen provides the gateway name and IP address, as well as the last received timecode value.
To view additional information about to your gateway, select the About menu from the home screen. From
the About menu, you can select one of the following two options:
• Version - Provides the version of software running on the device
• SMPTE - Provides the last received timecode value, input status and the frame rate of the source
timecode
Lastly, to view or change the the SMPTE Source ID, select Setup > Source IDs from the home screen.
Configure Network Settings
To configure the network settings for your device, perform the following steps:
1:
From the home screen, select Setup > Network.
2:
From the Mode screen, you can use the up and down buttons to select Manual, Link Local or
Automatic.
- Automatic will attempt to automatically configure the IP address, Subnet, and gateway for your
device via DHCP.
- If you select Manual, you must configure the IP Address, IP Subnet, and IP Gateway screens and
then select OK from the Apply/Reboot? screen.
- If you select Link Local, you can have the addressing done using your system’s link local addressing
mechanism. Select OK from the Apply/Reboot? screen.
If your network settings are not valid after configuration, a warning appears for 3 seconds and then you are
returned to the Mode screen and can try again.
Modify Device Settings
To restore the factory defaults or upgrade the software for your device, select the Operations menu from
the home screen. From the Operations menu, you can select one of the two options:
• Restore Defaults - Select OK? from the Restore Defaults screen to restore all default values to your
device. This removes all network and master/backup information that is configured for your gateway
but retains the gateway name.
• Update Software - Select OK? from the Update Software from server <#.#.#.#> screen if you need
to update the software directly from the gateway.
If you do choose to update directly from the gateway, the bootloader runs and the latest software is
downloaded from the server indicated by the <#.#.#.#> IP address on the Update Software screen. If you
need to modify this IP address, you can configure it in Concert software using the Update Server property.
Note:
The recommended method of updating the SMPTE gateway is through UpdaterAtor.
Regardless of whether you update from UpdaterAtor or directly from the gateway, the
device must be on the network.
