6. CONFIGURE NETWORK SWITCHES & DEVICES
Impulse and Type R based IP systems use 2 types of COTS switches. The first usage is to provide various VPNs for interfacing
applications via IP, the second is to provide AoIP/AES67 audio streams. Calrec currently recommends and can provide the
following network switches & devices. Note: Other network devices will be added to this list, contact Calrec for further details.
•
491-268: Sonifex AVN-GMCS Grand Master clock. (used for AoIP Synchronisation).
•
491-265: Cisco SG350-10MP 10 port PoE+ switch. (used for Type R Control Panel Interfacing).
•
491-267: Cisco SG350-10 10 port Non PoE switch (used for general interfacing over shared connections).
•
491-270: Artel 1G Quarra PTP Switch. (used for AoIP interfacing with the Core).
•
491-269: Trendnet TPE-115GI - Gigabit PoE+ Injector.(used to add PoE to an ethernet connection).
•
491-329: Cisco CBS350-8T-E-2G switch (used for Argo section processor connections)
If your system was provided with any of these devices, carefully remove each device from its packaging now. If there are any signs
of damage, please contact Calrec Customer Support and do not continue to use the damaged parts.
Important: Some of the above devices may require pre-configuration before installation. Please refer to the guidance for each
device, you have purchased which is available at http://ftp.calrec.com, and access the information in the Type R area of the site
using Account: TypeR & Password: tYoarEdQ before you continue. These switches are small scale devices, general used on
Type R or small Impulse systems, other larger switches, particularly for use with large AoIP systems will be included as they are
introduced.
Cisco Switch Management Settings for multiple connections
Argo S & Argo Q uses switches such as the Cisco CBS350-8T-E-2G switch, as each section processor is connected into it and then
uplinked back to the Impulse Core. The switch needs to have its Energy Detect Mode, Short Reach and 802.3 Energy Efficient
Ethernet Properties disabled. This is carried out in the Port Management>Green Ethernet>Properties page of the switch.
Typically the interface ports may be shared to provide Studio or Management Subnets as described later.
The Cisco switch's default IP address is 192.168.1.254 and typing this into the address bar of the browser, takes the user to the
switches Log in screen. The default Username is "cisco" and the default password is "cisco", clicking on the 'Log in' button gives
access to the switch's administration page as shown below:-
CISCO SWITCH GREEN ETHERNET PROPERTIES PAGE
At this point, deselect the Energy Detect Mode, Short Reach and 802.3 Energy Efficient Ethernet tick boxes on the Properties page
of the switch as shown, and apply the changes.
Note: the Argo S and Argo Q surface switches do not require POE for the console surface.
