Computer For File Management; Network Hubs/Switches; Computer For Morse Configuration; Hub For The Tcp/Ip Network - Solid State Logic C10 HD Installation Manual

Technical Requirements
c F
omPuter For
The console processor – in addition to providing the DSP capability – functions as the file sever to its internal RAID
storage array. It will be necessary to have access to a computer which can communicate with this server (using SAMBA
share) to access operator project files, to update the console's system software, to perform basic configuration and to
gain access to SNMP status information.
The PC used for communication with the Blackrock can either be connected over the facility's TCP/IP network or can be
a local Ethernet connection. Also see the note on network hubs below.
Note that if connecting directly to a local PC then the network cable may need to be of the 'crossover' type.
The computer selected will need to have an SSH terminal client installed – 'PuTTY', for example, if using a PC. Macintosh
users can use the 'Terminal' utility included with OSX.
The Blackrock processor does not support wireless networking.
c morSe c
omPuter For
If a MORSE router has been specified it will also require connection to a PC. The PC chosen can be the same one as used
for file management providing it can be equipped with two separate network ports (MORSE router connects to the SSL
network, file management uses TCP/IP and the two networks need to be kept separate).
See console networks page 2-15??

etWork ubS
Although not necessary in all cases, some configurations will require external hub/switchs to be supplied order to
create the separate data networks that are needed to properly control and manage the console systems.
Switchs provided must be 100mb capable.
h tcP/iP
ub For the
Consoles that feature redundant processing will require two separate network links to the file-management PC so an
external TCP/IP hub or switch will need to be provided. (The provision of a hub is often the most convenient method of
connecting single processor consoles to the network PC.)
i See page 3-4 for additional network cabling information.
h SSL
ub For the netWork
If more than one external GP IO unit is used, or of a system includes a MORSE switch plus a GP IO unit, then a separate
external hub/switch will required to extend the SSL network to these devices.
See page 3-4 for additional network cabling information.

h miDi
ub For the iP
If a redundant ipMIDI link to a workstation is required than an additional hub will be needed.
i See page 3-25 for additional ipMIDI cabling information.
