    Installation 4.5. Updating Device Definitions If a network device, such as the C-54 E, is not supported by the Optelecom-NKF application software on your host PC, an update can be downloaded from www.optelecom-nkf.com. The Support section of the site offers EMX updates and SNM Plug-in updates. Install the EMX update first if you will be performing both update types.

  • Page 19: Connections

    Connections CONNECTIONS Before you can make any video and other signal connections, the factory-set IP address and subnet mask of the C-54 E must be changed to be compatible with the network segment the module will be used in. 5.1. Establishing a Network Connection The factory-set IP address of a C-54 E is in the 10.x.x.x range.
  • Page 20 Connections Step 1: Setting the host PC to the factory default subnet of the C-54 E To configure the network adapter on the host PC In the Control Panel, open (see figure 5.2). Network Connections Right-click the connection to be configured, and select Properties.
  • Page 21 Connections In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog, click Use the following IP address Enter an IP address that will assign your PC to the same subnet as the C-54 E (i.e. within the 10.x.x.x range). Use 255.0.0.0 as a subnet mask. important To prevent conflicts, be sure to choose a unique IP address.

  • Page 22: Making Video And Data Connections

    With the C-54 E’s IP connection established, video and data connections can be made. The most convenient way to do so is using the module’s internal web pages. For an elaborate description, see chapter 7. A separate application program, such as Optelecom-NKF’s MX Configuration Tool, can be used as well.
  • Page 23 Connections General procedure for making links In both connection methods mentioned above, making a unicast one-way link (video or data) from source to destination entails at least the following steps: In the transmitter, specify a destination IP address, and a destination port number. In a compatible receiver, specify the transmitter IP address (source) and the local input port number (= the destination port number mentioned above).

  • Page 25: Interfaces

    For an elaborate description of the web user interface, refer to chapter 7. 6.2. MX/IP The proprietary Optelecom-NKF MX/IP protocol offers direct access to the module settings contained in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB, a list of variables stored inside the module, can be read and/or written with special MX software.
