Control network B
On a redundant shared storage (SAN) K2 Summit system, you must connect both ports of the control
team. Connect control network connection A to port 1 and control network connection B to port 4.
You must also connect both media ports. Connect port 2 to the A media network and port 3 to the
B media network. The media ports must not be teamed, as doing so interferes with failover
functionality.
Refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for more information.
Network configuration
This section contains instructions for configuring network connections.
About network functionality
K2 networks support the following:
•
Remote control and configuration of the internal storage K2 system using AppCenter from a
Control Point PC.
•
Remote control of the internal storage K2 system using devices and applications software
developed for the K2 system that use industry standard remote control protocols over Ethernet.
•
Stream media transfers between K2 systems and other supported Grass Valley systems. Streaming
transfers allow loading and playing a clip before the transfer is complete.
•
Standard data network capability.
•
General networking tasks such as file sharing and mapping network drives.
The procedures in this section guide you to relevant settings, but do not instruct you on the specific
settings required for your network. It is assumed that you understand Ethernet networks in general
and your particular network needs and that you can apply that understanding to make the required
settings using standard Windows procedures. If you need help with these procedures, contact your
network administrator.
Refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for network configuration procedures for
shared storage K2 clients.
