Broadlinx Software
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 con-
nection.
Broadlinx also provides Web pages for the following operations:
• Network configuration of the NR-33000 boards
• Downloading of software upgrades to the various boards in the system
• System monitoring using Internet Explorer
Broadlinx will also support SNMP/NetCentral monitoring with the correct
license. Broadlinx boards and software are available for all of the Trinix
Routing switchers.
CAUTION Before updating Broadlinx, compare your current system with the version
that you are updating to by checking the section called,
Broadlinx Version and
Supported Trinix Boards on page 335 . If you current system is older than the
2.4.2 version of Broadlinx, contact Technical support see Contacting Grass
Valley on page 4 .
Configuring the Network Settings
All LAN devices that are used with Trinix (for example, a monitor PC or the
SMS system) must be on the same network as the Broadlinx board, or con-
nected to the board through a network router.
The following instructions apply to NR-33000 configuration using Broad-
linx HTTP web pages. NetConfig includes a “discovery” feature which
eliminates the need to change the PC IP setting during configuration. (For
information about configuration using the NetConfig application, please
refer to the
NetConfig Instruction Manual
.)
Note Do not use Broadlinx with the Dynex DX-ESW8, 10/100M Fast Ethernet
Switch.
If your network uses a single Broadlinx board see the Simple Network Set-
tings on page 286 . If your system uses more than one Broadlinx board, see
Complex Network on page 288
