9. Connecting a Service Computer
9. Connecting a Service Computer
To open the Landing Page, and other HTML resources, you will need a computer with a LAN connection. There
are no special requirements other than a suitable web browser, but it is a good idea to check that the computer
meets the RAVENNA Web UI
Prerequisites .
1. Connect the computer to the streaming network.
2. Then configure the TCP/IP settings of the computer's Network Interface Card.
TCP/IP Settings
Ø
IP Address
The IP address must be unique, and lie within the same IP address range as that of the port you are connecting
to (i.e. the first three fields must match).
For example, if the ETHERNET A port has an IP address of 192.168.101.250 , then set your computer's IP
address to 192.168.101.255 (providing .255 is not already in use).
You can check the IP address of each streaming port from the device's front panel display .
Ø
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask must match that of the port you are connecting to. In all Lawo systems, the default Subnet
Mask =
255.255.255.0 .
Ø
Default Gateway
A Default Gateway setting is required if data packets are to be redirected. For example, if the PC is connected via
a network switch with Layer 3 routing capability. If redirection is not required, then the Default Gateway can be left
blank.
Check the IP settings carefully. If there is an IP conflict, then the network will not operate correctly.
Testing the Connection
The simplest way to check the connection is to open the Landing page.
If you are having problems with the network communication, then check your physical connections. Then check
both the
Network Settings of the device and the TCP/IP settings of your computer's network interface card. You
can also try running a PING test and/or disabling your computer's firewall (if active).
