Data Streamer and related devices. See reverse for Synapse set-up.
See the System 3 Manual for more detailed device information.
Fast Facts
Overview.
The RS4 stores data streamed directly
from the RZ2, through a special optical DSP. Access to
the RS4 storage array is provided through a network
connection, direct connection to a PC, or data transfer
to a USB storage device.
Hardware Setup.
An RZ2 provides one streaming input
to the RS4. Additional RZ2 devices can be connected to
the same RS4 provided it has available streaming ports
(B, C, or D). The fiber optic cables are color coded to
prevent wiring errors.
RS4 to RZ Connection Diagram
In the diagram above, a single RZ connects to the RS4.
Network Setup.
The RS4 can be accessed directly via a
PC or across a local area network (LAN). In either case
connect the corresponding Ethernet cable to the RS4
port labeled Network.
RS4 PC and Network Connection Diagram
Possible connections to a PC (1) or LAN (2).
The default IP address is 10.1.0.42.
To access the RS4 through a PC you must configure
the PC TCP/IP settings and set the PC IP address to
10.1.0.x, where x is any value, 1 - 254 except 42.
To access the RS4 file system through a LAN, DHCP
must be enabled on the network.

Network LED lit - traffic is present and
detected on the RS4.
Storage LED lit - access to the RS4 is in
progress.
Powering On.
Always power the RS4
down during an Idle state. Idle status can
be checked in the Ports tab. Failure to
power down during Idle status may result
in the RS4 performing a file system
check during the next boot process and
possible data loss.
