Appendix J : Connecting to DashBoard
This appendix contains procedures for connecting to the DashBoard remote control GUI.
General Usage
The CY460 Sync Pulse and Test Pattern Generator can be remotely controlled over an Ethernet link
by a DashBoard GUI control program running on a Windows, Linux or OS X personal computer.
DashBoard can be downloaded from:
http://www.rossvideo.com/control-systems/dashboard/products/dashboard.html#download
The CY460 Sync Pulse and Test Pattern Generator is always configured as a fixed IPv4 device using
the menu system accessible on the front panel.
The menu structure is -System Setup Menu > Network Menu.
The items to be configured are:
1. IP Address
2. Subnet Mask
3. Gateway
Ask your network expert to help set these up. An example setting is:
1. IP Address 192.168.001.051
2. Subnet Mask 255.255.255.000
3. Gateway 192.168.001.254
The controlling personal computer must (typically) be on the same “subnet” as the CY460.
Once a connection is expected to be working the “ping” command can be issued on the personal
computer. This is not a required step but is a useful diagnostic.
