13. Quick Start Tutorial

This section will describe how to get started with associated software and set up a basic system for operation.

Each frame has two network ports; a primary and a secondary. See the below diagram for a typical network

topology using the primary ports.

By default, the secondary ports are conﬁ gured in dual redundancy mode to support a second redundant network.

The alternate conﬁ guration for the two ports is a switch mode which allows daisy-chaining devices in a single

network. Daisy chain mode is not recommended for more than a few devices, and for not more than two if running

Dante audio along with control data.

Note: If using Dante audio in the network, the audio trafﬁ c needs to be ﬁ ltered from reaching the

wireless links.

13.1.2. Network conﬁ guration

Frames are conﬁ gured by default to obtain IP addresses automatically. The frame will assign itself an IP address

in the link local range (169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255). If a computer is conﬁ gured the same way

(which should be default on modern operating systems), it will reside in the same subnet as the devices and

communication can be established. Alternate conﬁ gurations would be DHCP for a managed network or ﬁ xed IP.

To connect to the secondary network in dual redundancy mode the computer shall be conﬁ gured with an IP

address in the 172.31.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 range.
