VIP-X System Manual
VIP-X - 24 Revision 1.0
4.1.2. EQX Based VIP-X Solution
Figure 4-2 details the Ethernet connection points in the system. Evertz recommends that a proper
Ethernet 10/100 base Ethernet switch or greater be used to support the systems network. Also, Evertz
highly recommends the VIP-X system be operated on its own VLAN where possible.
Each EQX has a frame controller based Ethernet port labeled “Network 1A.” This is the standard
Ethernet communication port for the Ethernet router. For more complex network topologies where dual
Ethernet connections are being made and/or dual frame controller units are being used, please refer to
the accompanying documentation of the router for details as to how to configure the network
connections in this case. Each 7767VIPX modules has its own Ethernet port which is used to control
the associated 7767VIPX device. Ethernet 2 on the 7767VIPX device must be used for proper
communication.
The “System Manager” server computer must also be connected to the same network as the hardware
for the purpose of managing the system. Use the computer’s appropriate Ethernet port for this
connectivity.
All Ethernet based control panels must be on the same network as the VIP-X system in order to control
the system. All control panels, and software clients connect via TCP/IP to the System Manager
software, which relays the information to the hardware as appropriate.
