Configuring Your Network

If your network is already set up, this step is not necessary.

1. Tap Configuration. The Configuration screen displays the configuration for the selected Summit machine. Add any machine that was not discovered at start-up.

   

   The Configuration screen displays the network adapters detected by Windows. For example, the control connection shows what Dyno is connected to and the 2 10G Ethernet card that has been added (between the 10G direct connection from the Summit player to the Summit recorder and the player and the other recorder).Connecting multiple Dyno pods and Summits requires the use of a 10G Ethernet switch.
   Note: Clips are stored on the Summit that recorded them. Library clips are shown from the Summit with player channels. If you want to send one or more highlight angles to another machine, one or more transfers will be started from the appropriate machines.
2. From the Configuration screen, tap the adapter you want to configure. You may edit the following:
   • Name of the connection
   • IP Address
   • Sub-net mask
   • Gateway
   • Network Type
3. Set the Network Type: there are 2 types of Ethernet connections in Summit. One connection is the control network – (used for Dyno commands). The other network connection is the media network where we want ShareFlex and ftp connections (for high volume video traffic, so it doesn’t interfere with the control network data). Another reason for the Ethernet networks to be separate is because if you have a system that doesn’t have a domain name server, host tables need to be written to each Summit. The media network is identified as a media server by the host name followed by _he0(zero) in the host table. (This stands for high speed-Ethernet.)
