Grass Valley 8900NET v.4.4.0 - Manual (Page 37)

8900NET (Net Card) — Instruction Manual 37
Using the 8900NET GUI
Frame Properties
The Properties section on the Frame Status page reports:
• Vendor name,
• Number of media module slots,
• Software version (installed on the 8900NET module),
• Network Config (whether the network configuration is stored on the
8900NET module or on the frame backplane, depending on frame
model). Refer to
Network Configuration Storage on page 25 .
Older 8900 Module Support
8900 and other module type (8500/8800) Grass Valley modules that can
reside in 8900 frames are supported to different degrees by the 8900NET
module. A compatibility matrix describing the hardware versions, software
update methods required, and remote control features of the various
modules supported by the 8900 frames and 8900NET module is located in
the
Compatibility Matrix on page 85 .
Note When the 8900NET is first installed or when many modules are installed
simultaneously, it may take some time for the 8900NET to poll, update status
and build the HTML pages, especially if there are modules that do not
respond as expected, such as 8500/8800 modules. During these periods the
Frame Status Page may fall behind temporarily until the 8900NET board can
catch up and present a true current status. This process of background web
page loading can be disabled with the control discussed on
page 57 .
