Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 392)

SiteConfig Proxy Encoder network set up
Only systems with a Proxy Encoder require this process.
If you received your system already set up from Grass Valley, your Proxy Encoder or Encoders are
already included in the SiteConfig system description and set up on the network, so you can skip
these tasks. Otherwise, work through the topics in this section.
Adding a Proxy Encoder to the SiteConfig system description
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The system description contains a group.
This topic applies to a GV STRATUS server that is a Proxy Encoder.
1. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, right-click a group and select Add Device .
2. Configure settings for the device you are adding as follows:
• Family – Select GV STRATUS .
• Type – Select GV STRATUS Server .
• Model – Select GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder or GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder (Redundant iSCSI) .
• Name – This is the device name, as displayed in the SiteConfig device tree view and device
list view. This name can be different than the host name (network name). You can accept the
default name or enter a name of your choice. Devices in the tree view are sorted alphabetically.
• Amount — Select the number of Proxy Encoders, according to your system design.
• Platform — Select x64 .
• Control network– Select the control network.
• Starting Address – Select from the list of available addresses on the selected control network.
If adding multiple devices, this is the starting address, with addresses assigned sequentially
to each device added.
3. Click OK to save settings and close.
SiteConfig adds the Proxy Encoder to the system description as a placeholder device.
4. Verify that unmanaged control network interface is configured correctly and modify if necessary.
Next, add the GV STRATUS server to the control network.
