Connecting the CM-4400 to the Jupiter LAN
Connecting the Jupiter File Server
The Jupiter File Server PC must be on the local Jupiter LAN and running
Windows XP Professional with at least Service Pack 2. Grass Valley recom-
mends that the Jupiter File server be a separate computer that is dedicated
for Jupi
ter. All firewall applications must be disabled for the Jupiter File
server; this includes the Windows Firewall application and any firewalls
that are associated with anti-virus programs. For your own protection, DO
NOT allow the Internet to be accessed from this computer.
1. Connect the PC that will serve as the Jupiter File Server to the Ethernet
switch. Use a network cable for this connection.
2. Install Grass Valley’s NetConfig program on the Jupiter File Server.
NetConfig is used for L-S-LCD control panels, Trinix, and Concerto.
Connecting the Ethernet Switch to the System Controller
An Ethernet switch must be part of the Jupiter LAN. The hardware Control
Panels and CM-4400 will be connected to this switch. Use a network cable
(either CAT 5 or CAT6) for these connections. Ethernet switches can be
daisy chained for added expansion.
Note Connect the Ethernet cable to the CM-4400’s NET 1 port only. NET 2 is for
future use.
Follow these steps to connect the Ethernet switch to the CM-4400:
1. Connect an Ethernet switch to the Jupiter LAN to which the CM-4400
is connected.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the CM-4400’s NET 1 port. Connect the
other end of the cable to the switch.
3. Connect the AccuSwitch Control panels to that same switch by
connecting the network cable to the NET 1 port on the rear of S, L &
LCD series Control panels.
Note Do not use the Dynex DX-ESW8 - 10/100M Fast Ethernet switch.
Configuring the AccuSwitch Control Panels Connections
Grass Valley's NetConfig application will identify the hardware panels
in the system and allow the operator to program them accordingly.
