3. WEB GUI The Web GUI is a convenient and intuitive user interface using a standard web browser to access all parameters of the NEXUS compact TrueMatch. WEB GUI CONNECTION For the initial setup of the NEXUS compact TrueMatch follow the steps below: 3.1.1 WEB GUI CONNECTION WITHIN AN EXISTING DHCP / DNS INFRASTRUCTURE 1. Connect the Control-Port of the NXCT to a 1GbE switch within your network (control/management network) 2. Connect your computer to the same network 3. Open a web-browser and type “http:// nxct-<serial#>.local” to open the NXCT configuration page. Use the serial number of your NXCT. If the serial number is 000078, the URL would be „http://nxct-000078.local“ 4. Proceed according to chapter 3.2 3.1.2 WEB GUI CONNECTION WITHIN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT DHCP AND DNS... - Page 7 CONFIGURING AUDIO-OVER-IP-INTERFACES 3.2.1 OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT, IN-BAND MANAGEMENT By default, the control surface of NEXUS compact TrueMatch is configured for „Out-of-Band management“. This results in the configuration page only being available on the “control port”, while the AoIP setup has to be carried out on the primary or secondary Audio-over-IP ports respectively. To switch to In-Band management, open the Web GUI and navigate to the setup page by pressing [SYSTEM] on the right sidebar of the screen. On the NETWORK panel you will find a popup-menu called „MIRROR CONTROL PORT“, where you can choose the AoIP-port you want to mirror the control port to. Finally you have to confirm your changes by pressing [APPLY]. Please be aware that this will reboot the NXCT and audio interruptions are likely to occur. Mirror control port 3.2.2 CONFIGURING AES67 PORTS The built-in AES67 module has to be configured via the primary or secondary Audio-over-IP ports respectively. To access the web interface of the AES67 module follow the steps below: 1. Navigate to the SYSTEM page of the NXCT Web GUI by pressing [SYSTEM] on the right sidebar of the screen. 2. On the NETWORK panel note the IP-address of the port you want to configure. (Hint: if you deactivate the [DHCP] button, you can copy the address. Make sure to activate the button again if necessary.) 3. Connect your computer or your network switch to the AoIP port you want to configure. 4. Open your web browser and navigate to „http://<IP-address of AoIP-Port>“ 5. The web interface of the AES67 module opens. Here, all functions of the AES67 module can be controlled, including setting-up the AES67-streams. 6. For the operation manual of the AES module refer to „https://www.directout.eu/download/operating-instructions“ and download the file „software-manual-rav2-oem.pdf“.
- Page 8 PRECAUTIONS • Don`t use static IP-addresses with a netmask of 0.0.0.0 on any of the ports. This configuration can lead to a failure of the internal AoIP-module. • In some cases the web GUI can already be accessible while the NXCT is still starting up and the AoIP-modules heaven`t been read out yet. Don`t press the [APPLY] button in the NETWORK panel of the SYSTEM screen, while you still see orange frames and no valid IP-addresses are available, since this also can cause the AoIP-modules to fail. • For the DANTE version of the NEXUS compact TrueMatch, using the secondary port with gateway/DNS is only possible in DHCP configuration. With static IP-addresses no gateway or DNS can be defined or configured.
