Control
Figure 18: 2449 Controller: Ethernet Port Configuration
The BECK chip (SC13) on 2449 Base Card allows Ethernet control of the control card using General
Switcher protocol over IP or SNMP. The user must select the Ethernet control to route the BECK
chip interface to the correct port on the 2445 Nebula card.
Software is also required to enable Ethernet Control, detailed in section 5.2.3
A standard CAT5 patch cord may be used to connect the Pyxis active Ethernet port to a 10 Base-T
hub or switch. By default, the SC13 chip is configured for DHCP, meaning that a DHCP Server must
be present on the same network segment in order for an IP address to be assigned.
Without a DHCP server the Snell configuration tool must be used to manually assign a static IP
address. The SC13 chip includes TELNET and FTP servers in order to support the configuration tool.
