Specifying the CobraNet settings
CobraNet is an important component of system design with NION products. In order to ensure
proper operation of the CobraNet audio transport, several variables must considered.
The NION is shipped with a default CM-1 setting of 0.0.0.0, which means that the IP will be
set only when the CobraNet Discovery application assigns it. For any other use of TCP/IP with
a CM-1, you must configure the IP address and mask.
For typical audio transport, it is generally not necessary to configure the CobraNet node with
an IP address. However, because the CM-1 supports SNMP, configuration of the IP address
and mask may be required.
To specify the CobraNet settings
1. From the main menu, select CONFIG to display the first configuration page, LAN
CONFIG, then select NEXT repeatedly until the CM-1 NETWORK CONFIG page is
displayed.
2. For DHCP operation, use the wheel and the wheel push button to set the IP address to
0 0
0 0 and the mask to 255 255 255 0.
For fixed IP operation, use the same process to configure the IP address and mask as
required by your network.
3. Select NEXT to advance to the next page, or OK to confirm the settings and exit.
To abort the process, select CANCEL.
Setting up the network services
Introduction to network services
Web
The NION processor includes a built-in web server that provides access to several key
hardware functions from any web browser. For more information about web services, please
see the NWare help file.
Telnet
Telnet is a communications protocol that provides access to the Linux system kernel on the
NioNode.
Note: For security reasons, you should only enable the Telnet function when asked to by
MediaMatrix Technical Support. Once you have finished communicating with the NION, you
should disable the Telnet function. Telnet is not required for communications with the NWare
software or for using RATC.
