Initial Network Setup
Getting Started 8.3
8.3 Initial Network Setup
The Vega-MV unit is configured and controlled using web browser software on a PC, via the
unit’s ‘LAN 1’ network connection, see Figure 110 (and also see Section 4.2.1 “Front Panel
Status LEDs” on page 28 for more information).
The Vega-MV unit’s ‘LAN 1’ default network details are listed in Table 99 in Section B.8
“Network Defaults” on page 222.
The currently set IP address is always indicated on the multiviewer display output during the
boot cycle (see Figure 45 in Section 5.7 “Powering Up (Unit Start Up)” on page 57).
However, the display output may not be visible if the multiviewer resolution setting does not
match that of the display device at that time.
8.3.1 Network Settings
If the settings are set up to use DHCP, then no manual setting up of network settings is
required.
These settings only need to be manually entered if DHCP is not used and if static IP
addresses etc are to be set up. Manual set up would be required for a network that uses fixed
IP addresses and does not rely on a DHCP server to allocate them automatically.
IP address details can be entered using any one of the following methods:
•
From the front OLED display and rotary knob, see section 6.2.
•
From the SAM PC utility see Appendix D.2.
•
From the Vega-MV web interface provided by the MV-CTL card, using a web browser
on a PC or MAC, see section .
Setting a New Fixed IP Address using the
Vega-MV
Web Interface
IP settings can be configured manually via the unit’s multiviewer web interface by using a PC
or Mac connected directly or via a LAN. Direct connection is generally easier, since the
default IP address of the Vega-MV unit (i.e. that of the unit’s MV-CTL card) may not match the
current LAN settings (refer to the section Section 7 “Web Interface” on page 67 for details on
Using the web interface).
Important:
The front panel assembly includes cooling fans for the frame.
To maintain adequate cooling, the Vega-MV frame must not be run for more than two
minutes with the front panel open.
To maintain adequate cooling, the Vega-MV frame must not be run for more than
two minutes with the front panel open.
