Option 2: Individual IP connections to Power Core
In this example, each frame connects individually to Power Core via the IP network.
This option can be used to install frames remotely from each other in different studios / locations.
This time the communication modes (shown on the surface during boot-up) will be slightly different.
All modules that sit above an Ethernet connector board must show
CAN+IP
(or
IP
).
All other modules must show
CAN
.
For the IP connections to Power Core, it is possible to use either a Multicast or Unicast IP address scheme.
To use Multicast IPs, the
Target IP address
fields in the "Control Interface" settings must be identical. Take care to
check all of the diamond IP frames and Power Core. For the example above, open three Web UI sessions: one for Power
Core and one for each diamond frame, and remember to reboot the devices if you make changes to the "Control
Interface" settings.
If you wish to use Unicast IPs, then this requires some additional configuration (in the ON-AIR Designer). More
information will follow.
For the wiring, when frames are connected via IP, there is no need for an external CAN connection and so the CAN A ports
must be terminated.
The CAN B ports can be used to connect a KSC or GPIO panel; you can make this connection from either frame. On the last
key panel in the chain, fit the CAN bus terminator supplied with the system.
If everything is correctly connected and configured, each frame synchronizes independently to Power Core, This happens
as soon as each IP connection is made.
