  • Page 31: Configuration

    NION Hardware Manual Some t ext t o force a page break in W ord but rem ain invis ible Configuration When you have established typical connections and are ready to load your NWare project file, you should firstly configure the NION’s basic operational parameters. Certain functions, such as communications, may not function correctly until properly configured.

  • Page 32: Updating The Firmware

    Chapter 5 - Setting up the NION Note: If security has been enabled, you will need to specify a password before you can change any of the settings. Updating the firmware Firmware on NIONs is managed centrally using NWare. For information on updating firmware, see Updating firmware on MediaMatrix devices in the NWare User Guide.
  • Page 33 NION Hardware Manual Notes:  Care should be taken when choosing to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), rather than a static IP address. DHCP mode is provided as a convenience when using units in informal settings or for test purposes. A static IP address should always be used when units are deployed in end-user installations.
  • Page 34 Chapter 5 - Setting up the NION Tips:  Since we are using DHCP, we do not need to specify an IP address, subnet mask or gateway - they are automatically assigned by the DHCP process.  If a DNS is set up on the network and DHCP has been configured to contact the DNS, the DNS field will be populated automatically with the IP address of the DNS.
  • Page 35 NION Hardware Manual Some t ext t o force a page break in W ord but rem ain invis ible 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.

    Chapter 6 - Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet Some t ext t o force a page break in W ord but rem ain invis ible Introduction Use of NIONs in an XDAB cluster, particularly when also using CobraNet and VLANs, creates specific considerations and rules that must be observed in order to insure proper operation of the system.

  • Page 57: Use Cases

    NION Hardware Manual  exchanging digital audio between devices. In this case, the audio clocks of the devices must be synchronous or the use of sample rate converters on the digital audio inputs is required. Tip: The XDAB digital audio bus is the most convenient way to exchange digital audio between NIONs.
  • Page 58 Chapter 6 - Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet Scenario 2 - Network using VLAN In this scenario, port based VLANs have been configured within a managed switch:  There will be no audio passed, either externally or via CobraNet, between devices residing on different VLANs.
  • Page 59 NION Hardware Manual Scenario 4 - Network with VLAN and digital interconnects This scenario is similar to the previous scenario (on page 54), but substitutes digital interconnects), such as AES/EBU or SPDI/F, for analog interconnects.  NION digital interface cards contain built-in sample rate converters (SRCs), which isolate audio clock domains from each other and allow interchange of digital audio data regardless of which clock domain the transmitting and sending devices are in.
  • Page 60 Chapter 6 - Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet  An XDAB master that gets its clock as a CobraNet performer that is synched to a Conductor that is in turn an XDAB slave would create an unstable clock resolution loop. XDAB would attempt to sync with CobraNet that would in turn be trying to sync with XDAB.
  • Page 61 NION Hardware Manual  Regardless of whether the VLAN 1 Conductor is inside or outside of the cluster, all NIONS in the cluster that are in VLAN 2 will be getting their clock from XDAB and cannot receive their clock from an outside Conductor. This would create a clocking conflict.
  • Page 62 Chapter 6 - Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet  The same rules apply as in the previous scenario.  Again, the Conductor for VLAN 2 must be within the XDAB cluster.  It does not matter which cluster the Conductors are in. In this case, the Conductors are show in cluster 1.

  • Page 63: Further Examples

    NION Hardware Manual Further examples Worked example 1 - follow the clock  An XDAB master NION will always receive the audio clock from its CobraNet module, regardless of whether that module is a Conductor or a performer.  If the CobraNet clock source is external to the cluster (i.e. the XDAB master is a performer and the Conductor is external to the cluster), it will still work fine.
  • Page 64 Chapter 6 - Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet Some t ext t o force a page break in W ord but rem ain invis ible Worked example 2 - a bad configuration  The Conductor for VLAN 1 is the second device in the VLAN 1 segment within XDAB Cluster 1.

  • Page 71 NION Hardware Manual The causes of HF2 errors HF2 related errors could have two basic causes:  A hardware error. The physical hardware is at fault.  The firmware running on the CM-1 has malfunctioned and cannot respond to the NION. Case 1 - Hardware error In this case the interface between the CM-1 and NION has failed due to a chronic hardware problem.
  • Page 72 Appendix A - Troubleshooting Some devices will transmit multicast data in normal operation. In a large network, if many or all devices on the net do so by coincidence at the same time, a condition similar to a data storm can occur and have similar consequences for a brief instant.
  • Page 73 NION Hardware Manual  Use of the primary and secondary Ethernet connections on a CobraNet interface along with redundant and interconnected switches. Proper use of CobraNet DualLink with redundant networks will intentionally create a loop that is automatically removed or restored by STP.

  • Page 74: Low Voltage Warning

    Appendix A - Troubleshooting  Use switches that allow port based bandwidth throttling or data storm control. The configuration of a throttling feature will be switch vendor specific. Configure each port directly connected to a CobraNet device to limit the amount of traffic allowed to go from the port to the CobraNet device.

  • Page 79 NION Hardware Manual Note: A ratcheting type crimping tool is highly recommended. The use of non-ratcheting crimping tools, while occasionally adequate, typically results in considerably higher failure rates for field terminated connections. Just like telco wire, there are stranded and solid varieties of CAT 5 cable. This is important to know, because the RJ-45 connector is different for each type of wire.

  • Page 80: Gpio Overview

    Appendix B - Connector ports  It is very important that you build the cable with all pairs properly terminated. This will prevent any confusion later, and give your cable a solid mechanical connection.  The use of pre-made and pre-tested cabling can greatly simplify and expedite installation for wiring within a rack.

Although you can terminate GPIO functions directly to the DB-25 connector, we recommend that you use the optional breakout accessory (GPIO-25: Peavey Part# 00510490). The GPIO-25 is a convenient way to access each pin and facilitates easy rack wiring and troubleshooting.
