Network Interface Settings
Ø
Configuration
The
Configuration
defines the network mode. The options are:
·
Static
- select this mode to enter the IP Address, Network Mask and Gateway manually.
·
DHCP
- select this mode to receive an IP Address automatically from the network's DHCP server.
·
Zeroconf
- in this mode, the unit will automatically assign its own IP address. On an A__line device, this
is the same as the front panel "Auto" mode.
In the current RAVENNA release, the Configuration
must
be set to
Static
(so that a static IP address can be
allocated to each streaming port). The DHCP and Zerconf modes are not supported.
Ø
Address, Network Mask and Gateway
The
IP Address
must
be unique, and lie within the same IP address range as all other RAVENNA streaming
nodes (i.e. the first three fields must match). For the A__mic8 / A__digital8, the default IP Addresses are:
·
ra0 (ETHERNET A) =
192.168.101.250
·
ra1 (ETHERNET B) =
192.168.101.251
The
Network Mask
must
match the Subnet Mask of all other RAVENNA streaming nodes. For the A__mic8 /
A__digital8, the default Netmask =
255.255.255.0
A
Gateway
is required if data packets are to be redirected. For example, if the streaming port is connected via a
network switch with Layer 3 routing capability. If redirection is not required, then the Gateway can be left at its
default =
0.0.0.0
Check the IP settings of all streaming ports carefully. If there is an IP conflict, then the network will not
operate correctly.
Ø
Link Speed & Link State
The
Link Speed
shows the speed of the interface. This must be 1000 MBit (GB Ethernet) or higher; RAVENNA
streaming is not supported at 100 MBit (Fast Ethernet).
The
Link State
should be:
up
= correct operation;
down
= the Ethernet link is not connected or invalid.
11.8.2
Other Network Settings
The
Hostname
is a unique name which identifies the device to the network. By default it will be the set to the
Device ID.
The
Default TTL
sets the default Time To Leave. It can be used to prevent data packets from circulating
indefinitely. The default value =
31
.
