About modifying or restoring network settings

Before configuring network settings, consider the following:

  • Loopback adapter — When you receive a K2 Summit Production Client, a K2 Solo Media Server, or a K2 Media Client from the factory, it has a loopback adapter installed. The loopback adapter allows the media file system to continue operating if an Ethernet cable is disconnected. Do not modify the loopback adapter. If you need to restore the loopback adapter, refer to the Service Manual for your K2 product.

    The loopback IP address is 192.168.200.200. Keep that IP address reserved on your network. Do not assign it to any other device. If this causes conflicts with your existing network, consult your Grass Valley representative.

  • Hostname changes — If you change the host name, remote AppCenter and other systems could have difficulty connecting. On a shared storage K2 client, Grass Valley strongly recommends that you do not change the host name or IP address unless following the documented procedure. For more information, refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual.
  • Restoring factory default network settings — Several settings are configured at the factory and should never be modified. If you suspect settings have been changed, you should reimage the K2 system to restore settings. Refer to the Service Manual for your K2 product for recovery image and network configuration procedures.
