Using the web interface
Specifying a name
Each NION has a name that is displayed in the web interface, on the front panel (if fitted) and
in NWare and Dante Controller.
In the factory, an identical name is given to every NION. Therefore, in order to identify
individual units by their names, you must assign a unique name to each unit. If you are using
Dante, this is particularly important, as Dante transmitters and receivers in Dante Controller
are identified by the names assigned to the NIONs.
To specify a name
1. Navigate to the Network screen.
2. Under Host Name Configuration in the Host Name box, type a unique name for the
NION.
3. Click Set to confirm the action.
You will be asked to log on.
4. Specify your username and password. The default username is superuser; it has no
password.
5. Navigate to the Special screen.
6. Under Unit Shutdown, in the action box, click power down.
7. Click Do it.
8. Wait 30 seconds and then power up the NION.
This delay allows time for entries in the ARP cache to time out, so the new name you have
specified will be used.
Setting the time and date
Introduction
For accurate reporting of events when running different MediaMatrix units, it is critical to
specify the proper time zone, time, and date settings. Correct settings will ensure that the event
logs and other time sensitive information are accurately recorded and displayed.
There is a time synchronization system that ensures that the time and date settings on NIONs,
nControl units and nTouch 180 units are the same across the network. If you change the date
on a NION, for example, it is automatically changed on the other devices. This feature is
especially useful for debugging. If you look at an event in the log that occurred at a particular
time on one NION, you can be sure that an event with the same timestamp on a different NION
occurred at exactly the same time.
You can specify the time and date settings manually, or they can be obtained automatically
from a time server.
Tip: A time server can be set up on your local network, or you can connect to one via the
internet. For information on available internet time servers, see http://www.pool.ntp.org
(http://www.pool.ntp.org).
