Setting up the control point PC
To set up the K2 configuration control point PC, you have the following options:
• Use the Grass Valley control point PC that comes from the factory with software
pre-installed. This includes the K2 System Configuration application, remote
AppCenter, and NetCentral software. Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide
for rack mount instructions.
• Use a PC that you own and install the required software.
For either option, you must do the following for the control point PC that runs the K2
System Configuration application:
• Assign a control network IP address to the PC. Refer to “Networking tips” on
page 50 .
• Connect the PC to the GigE control network.
To use your own PC, you must additionally do the following:
• Verify that the PC meets system requirements, then install the Control Point
software and other supporting software, as specified in the K2 Media Client System
Guide.
• Install and license NetCentral server software. You can install this on the
NetCentral server PC, which can be the K2 configuration control point PC. Refer
to the NetCentral User Guide.
Also refer to “Control point PC description” on page 298 .
To fix the screen resolution problem seen with NetCentral on the Grass Valley control
point PC, do the following:

Setting up the Level 1 GigE switch
These procedures are for the HP ProCurve switch. You must use the HP ProCurve
switch for iSCSI traffic. However, for control and FTP/streaming traffic, it is allowed
to use a different brand of switch, such as a Cisco Catalyst switch, if required by your
site. If you are using a non-HP switch, apply the information accordingly. Refer to the
documentation you received with the switch as necessary.
Also refer to “Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 376 .
• Use CAT5 or higher cables. The maximum cable length is 50 meters.
• Assign an IP address and logon to the switch. Refer to “Configuring the GigE
switch via serial connection” on page 28 .
