Network Devices Tab
The front panel of Power Core contains four network interfaces, two for control and two for Audio over IP
(RAVENNA/AES67). The four "devices" shown on this screen correspond to the ports as follows:
·
Device dwc0
= the CONTROL A port, used for system administration and control.
·
Device dwc1
= the CONTROL B port, usually left unconnected unless you are using LACP (for
redundant control).
·
Device ra0
= the RAVENNA/AES67 A port, the first of two AoIP ports.
·
Device ra1
= the RAVENNA/AES67 B port, the second of two AoIP ports.
Each Device section displays the port’s Host Name (defined using the ON-AIR Designer software), its MAC
address and network IP address and netmask, and gateway (if used). The Link State box shows port
connection / activity status.
In User mode, all fields are non-editable. Entering Supervisor mode permits changing the IP Address and
Network Mask value for each of the three ports, and the Public Name (a friendly name displayed during network
searches) of each RAVENNA port.
If any settings are changed, you must click
Apply
to save the changes. IP Address changes are made
immediately. If you change the IP Address of
dwc0
then you will lose your browser connection, so enter the
device's new IP address into your browser to continue the system administration.
Using LACP
LACP
MUST
be configured in the network switch as well as in Power Core. Otherwise you will not be able to
reach Power Core via its CONTROL ports.
