Network Connections

The control panel connects to the frame in one of three

ways, depending on the model of control panel or

option you have.
•

Carbonite Black

 — panel connects to the frame

over a standard ethernet connection

•

CarboNET

 — panel connects to the CarboNET

over a serial connection and the CarboNET

connects to the frame over a standard ethernet

connection

•

Carbonite

 — panel connects to the frame over a

serial connection (Panel to Frame port)

The ethernet connection from the frame is also used to

upload stills to the Media-Store channels, download

switcher data files, or control switcher functions using

DashBoard.
The switcher uses the following network ports:
•

FTP

 — 21

•

SSH

 — 21

•

DashBoard

 — 5253

•

SLP

 — 427

•

Web Server

 — 80

•

RossTalk

 — 7788

 Frame Network Setup (Ethernet)

If you are connecting to the frame over ethernet you

must use DashBoard to set the IP address of the frame.

The frame comes from the factory set with a static IP

address (192.168.0.123) but can be set to use DHCP to

automatically obtain an IP address.

Note: 

 If you use a DHCP server, it must be set to always give

the frame the same IP address. DashBoard, the Carbonite

Black control panel, and CarboNET need a fixed IP address to

connect to.

Tip: 

 If you do not know the IP address of the frame, you

can set DIP switch 3 on the frame to lock the IP address to

192.168.0.123. The frame must be re-started for the new IP

address to be applied.

Connecting to the Switcher from DashBoard

DashBoard should automatically detect and connect

to the frame once it is connected to the same subnet.

If you have trouble discovering the switcher frame,

or it is located on another subnet, you can manually

connect DashBoard to the switcher to establish

communications. Once connected, DashBoard will

remember the connection until you remove it.

 To Manually Connect to the Frame To

Connect to the Frame

You need the IP address of the frame to connect to it

manually from DashBoard.

2.

In the 

IP Address

 field, enter the IP address

of the switcher frame. The default IP address is

192.168.0.123.

Tip: 

 If the control panel is connected to the frame over

a serial link, the IP address can be found through the

menu system (Press

 Frame Network Setup (Serial)

If you are connecting to the frame over a serial

connection (Carbonite) you can use the control panel to

initially configure the network settings for the frame.

To Set an IP Address Using DHCP

Due to the nature of DHCP, your switcher may get a

different IP address each time it is powered on or re-

connected to a network. You must have the switcher

connected to a network to be able to obtain an IP

address using DHCP.

Note: 

  Ensure that DIP switch 3 on the frame is set in the up

position. If this DIP switch is set in the down position, the IP

address is fixed at 192.168.0.123.   Ensure that DIP switch 3

on the frame is set in the up position. If this DIP switch is set in

the down position, the IP address is fixed at 192.168.0.123.
