Static Routes for the Primary and Secondary Control Systems
Static Route capabilities allow the IP I/O Boards to communicate with NMOS control systems such as GV Orbit
(GVO). In the V15.3.0 software, the static routes are configured via the Console Menu. Because of network
security issues, in version V15.0.0 and higher, the Console Menu is accessed via Secure Shell (SSH). Telnet is no
longer supported.
In the top menu of the Console Menu enter 5 for “Vid 16x8 IO” or 6 for “Mod 8x4 IO”. Next choose the # for
the board you are interested in (for example 1 for “16x8 IO IP 1”). Next, choose A (for ARM) and then S (for
Static Routes). From here you can either choose 1 to enter a new route, 2 to view existing routes, or 3 to
clear/delete a static route.
To enter a new route you would choose 1 “Set Static Route”. Next, choose 1 for the Primary Interface or 2 for
the Secondary (Redundant) Interface. Next, enter the destination IP, which is the IP for the network you are
trying to reach. For example, you might enter an address such as 172.0.0.0. Next enter the gateway associated
with the interface for this route. Note, for Primary this should be the gateway associated with SFP 1A as shown
on the Port Config SFPs menu, and for Secondary this will be the gateway associated with SFP 1B. For
example, you might enter a gateway such as 172.21.12.1. Finally, enter the appropriate Genmask (aka subnet
mask) for the network you are trying to reach. Following along with the previous example this might be
something such as 255.192.0.0. Now your route has been entered.
To view the route, choose 2 “View Static Routes”. This should allow you to see the route(s) you entered.
To delete a route, choose 3 “Clear Static Route”. Then choose 1 for Primary or 2 for Secondary depending
upon which route you’d like to delete.
Set the IPs Using Device Web Pages
You need to know the current IP address of the GV K-Frame XP Video Processor or Control
Panel before you can change it using a Web browser, mouse and keyboard.
Note: The NetConfig application, included with the software, can be used
to find IP Addresses of devices accessible on the network. Refer to the
separate NetConfig Instruction Manual for more information.
1 Using any web browser connected to your GV K-Frame XP network, enter the IP
Address of the device in the IP Address field and press
Enter.
