Rollcall Ip Connections; Client Ip Ranges; Rollcall Ip Bridging - GRASS VALLEY IQH4B User Manual

RollCall IP Connections

This shows information about IP connections to the Gateway from IP Share or IP Proxy. The
information displayed refers to a single connection. Which connection is displayed is
controlled by the Show Connection control.

Client IP Ranges

Ranges of valid client IP addresses can be specified if required; these can be enabled or
disabled via the Check Client IP check box. When enabled, the Gateway will check the IP
address of any clients wanting to connect, and reject any that are outside of the ranges
specified. Enter ranges as appropriate, and click S to save.
If you do not want to use this feature, disable the Check Client IP check box.

RollCall IP Bridging

This menu controls the IP half bridge function of the Gateway.
46
• SP_TIME: If this is enabled, the Gateway will pass wide area TIME messages received on IP
share links to the RollNet network, and over the IP Bridge (if connected).
Note: The Gateway will always use the received time stamp, whether or
not it passes it on.
• IP Address: IP address of the remote unit on this IP connection.
• TCP Port: Incoming TCP port number of the RollCall IP share connection.
• Port Name: The name under which this IP connection appears.
• Port Number: Shows which RollCall port on the Gateway this IP connection corresponds
to.
• Start Time: Shows the time at which this IP connection was started.
• Sent Time?: Shows if the remote unit on this IP connection has ever sent us a TIME packet.
• Packets Received: Shows how many packets have been received on this IP connection.
• Full Network: Shows which IP port a connection has come in from. Yes indicates that the
connection is on the Full Network port, no indicates that the connection is on the Local
chassis port.
• Packets Sent: Shows how many packets have been transmitted on this IP connection.
• Show Connection: Controls which IP connection the Gateway shows statistics for. Use the
slider to select as required.
• Primary Connection: This controls the primary IP address of the remote half of the IP
bridge. This is the address that the Gateway will connect to when it establishes a bridge.
The Gateway will accept bridge connections from other IP addresses unless the Only This
Addr(s) checkbox is set.
• Secondary Connection: This controls the secondary IP address of the remote half of the IP
bridge. This is the address that the Gateway will connect to when it establishes a bridge.
The Gateway will accept bridge connections from other IP addresses unless the Only This
Addr(s) checkbox is set.
• Hide network (Control only): This allows the remote network to be hidden from the
network browser displayed at the bottom left of the RollCall Control Panel main window.
All other network traffic is allowed through the bridge.
This feature is useful where two separate networks are linked with an IP Bridge (for control
purposes, e.g. Rollpod), but the networks are connected to client PCs using IP Proxy.
• Only Accept This Addr(s): This controls whether addresses other than the primary and
secondary can be used. When selected the Gateway will only accept bridge connections
