2.6.8 Control
Interfaces
Connection
Operation of the Encoder from a TANDBERG Television control system is via the control
Ethernet network running a web browser or nCompass Control on a remote PC. Local control
is implemented through the front panel keypad and display. See
Chapter 4, Operating the
Equipment Locally
for details of how to access the front panel menus and
Chapter 5, Web
Browser Interface
for details of how to access the Encoder using a web browser.
Ethernet #1 and #2
An eight-way, RJ-45 connector provides a 10BaseT Ethernet interface
for communications with the nCompass Control or web browser for
control and monitoring. The Encoder has a single switched Ethernet
channel. Ethernet1 is selected as default at power up. If a carrier is
not detected on Ethernet1 then the input switches to Ethernet2. This
gives a redundant Ethernet control via two hubs.
