Chapter 3Configuring networks


• About K2 Dyno Replay Controller modes• Start K2 Summit/Solo• Disable write filter• Configure network on stand-alone K2 Summit/Solo


About K2 Dyno Replay Controller modes

The K2 Dyno Reply Controller operates in the following modes:

• Dyno mode – The Dyno application is open for normal operations such as capturing and replayinghighlight clips.

• Maintenance mode – The Dyno application is closed and the Windows operating system desktopis available for system tasks such as network configuration and software update.

By default, the K2 Dyno Replay Controller is in the Dyno mode. You must manually put the unitin the maintenance mode, which requires a restart.

Start K2 Summit/Solo

1. Start up the K2 system.

2. Log on to the K2 system with the default Windows administrator account:

• Username: Administrator• Password: adminK2

(The password is case sensitive)

At first startup, End User License Agreements appear on the screen. Accept the agreements tocontinue.

The Power LED goes on and stays on. The Service LED stays off. Startup processes completein approximately two minutes and the K2 system is ready for connection and operation.

Disable write filter

1. If you have not already done so, log on to the K2 system with Windows administrator privileges.

2. From the Windows desktop, click Start | All Programs | Grass Valley | Write Filter Utility.

FBWF Manager opens.

3. Under Filter Settings, set Filter to Disable.

Do not modify other settings.

4. Click OK.

5. When prompted, restart the K2 system.

Proceed as follows:

• If a K2 client on a K2 SAN, skip ahead to software installation tasks. Network configuration isalready done on a K2 client operating on a K2 SAN.

• If a stand-alone K2 client on which the network is not yet configured, continue with the nexttask.


Configuring networks

Configure network on stand-alone K2 Summit/Solo

1. If you have not already done so, disable the write filter.

2. Access the Windows desktop on the K2 system. You can do this locally with a connectedkeyboard, mouse, and monitor or remotely via the Windows Remote Desktop Connection.

3. Open the Network Connections dialog box:

• In the Windows Classic view, select Start | Settings | Network Connections.• In the Windows XP view, select Start | Control Panel | Network Connections.

4. Continue with standard Windows procedures to configure the TCP/IP protocol properties. Youcan set up the network using DHCP, DNS, WINS, or other standard networking mechanisms.

NOTE: On small networks or networks with certain security policies a DHCP server or domainname server (DNS) might not be available. In this case you can set up a static IP address andcreate a host file on each K2 system.

5. Configure the control connection on the stand-alone internal storage K2 system as follows:

a) Configure the network connection with the following name:

Control Team

The control team is GigE ports 1 (Control Connection #1) and 4 (Control Connection #2) onthe rear panel.

NOTE: Under no circumstances should you modify the loopback adapter. The loopbackIP address is 192.168.200.200. Keep that IP address reserved on your network. Don’t assignit to any other device. If this causes conflicts with your existing network, consult your GrassValley representative.

6. Configure the FTP/streaming connection (if needed) on the stand-alone internal storage K2system.

This connection must have an IP address that is on a different subnet from the control connection.There are special name resolution requirements for the FTP/streaming network. Refer to the K2System Guide.

Configure as follows:

a) Configure the network connection with the following name:

Media Connection #1

This is GigE port 2 on the rear panel.

7. If prompted to restart, enable the write filter, then restart.
