1. Basics
Before starting, check the existing infrastructure and define the required equipment and
settings.
Various examples in this document show the different ways in which Cynap Core can be
integrated into the network.
When connecting Cynap Core to LAN and WLAN at the same time, please use different IP
ranges in order to prevent address conflicts.
The listed IP addresses are only examples.
Cynap Core can be treated as a standard network device and it is as secure as the
supporting network. Cynap Core cannot be considered as a router, switch or firewall.
Communication to other networks and access must to be controlled using your existing
equipment (firewall, router, switch and so on).
By default, Cynap Core´s second LAN port (LAN 2) is dedicated to fully integrate a
WolfVision Visualizer. The behaviour of this LAN port (LAN 2) can be changed to connect
Cynap Core e.g. to a RMS network (Room Management System) and mirroring purposes.
This way, the built-in DHCP server is de-activated and a Visualizer cannot be fully integrated.
When using vSolution Matrix, it is recommended to connect all station of a room to one
single network switch to obtain maximum performance.
Attention:
When the second LAN port (LAN 2) is set to Visualizer Mode, never connect this LAN port for
the Visualizer to your existing network infrastructure!
If this port is set to Visualizer mode, Cynap Core acts as DHCP-server on this port and this
could cause conflicts with the existing infrastructure.
When using vSolution Matrix, LAN 1 has to be used to connect all stations together.
2. Glossary
This glossary will assist you in setting up the network correctly. Please note that in order to
connect Cynap Core to an existing company network, some information from the local
administrator is required.
2.1. LAN / Ethernet settings
The following settings are available for LAN 1 and also for LAN 2, when the interface mode is
changed to LAN.
Priority Interface Access
The higher prioritized interface (value = 1) will be used for
network service first. Ensure that the value is different from the
WLAN interface priority.
DHCP
Cynap Core will get all network settings automatically from the
DHCP server in the existing network. Switch it to OFF to set the
static addresses manually.
IP address
Unique address in the network, i.e. 192.168.0.100. The IP
address of Cynap Core can for example be set to 192.168.0.1.
Subnet mask
Available IP addresses can be limited. A commonly used
subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0
Gateway
Defines the IP address of the server / connection to other
networks (such as the internet). When Cynap Core is directly
connected only to a PC, then enter the IP address of the PC.
Name server 1 / 2
Input the IP address of the preferred Domain Name System
(DNS). This Server translates domain names into
corresponding IP addresses.
