NetConfig — Instruction Manual 7
NetConfig
Introduction
NetConfig (Networking Configuration Application) is a multipurpose soft-
ware component for managing NetConfig-enabled Grass Valley devices.
Grass Valley products that currently use NetConfig include:
• Kameleon and Gecko Modules and Newton Panels,
• Encore and Prelude Routing Systems,
• M-2100 Mini Master Control Panel,
• Grass Valley Camera CCUs,
• Kayenne Switchers, and
• Kalypso and Zodiak Switcher Remote Aux Panels.
As Grass Valley develops new product this list will grow.
NetConfig Features
The NetConfig application is designed to make network configuration
simple.
• NetConfig discovers devices on the network, and these devices can
have their IP addresses configured remotely using the PC on which
NetConfig has been installed,
• NetConfig reports duplicate IP addresses, which can be easily resolved,
• NetConfig is used to install software to these devices,
• NetConfig can be used to identify devices, by blinking their LEDs or
panel buttons,
• NetConfig incorporates a web browser that displays web pages served
by the devices on the network,
• NetConfig provides rudimentary health checks of these devices, and
• NetConfig provides inventory tools for equipment management.
Application specific NetConfig plug-ins are also available for use with
various Grass Valley products (for example, Newton and Prelude). Each
plug-in provides special functionality for that product.

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 8
Introduction
NetConfig Scope
The NetConfig application uses a client-server model. The NetConfig
application acts as the server and sends out Requests to client devices,
which send Responses.
The NetConfig discovery process employs Ethernet broadcast messages.
This process works only when the NetConfig-enabled devices are on the
same LAN; that is, either connected directly, or connected via a hub or
switch. Broadcast messages do not normally propagate through router
gateways, so devices on a WAN are not normally discovered (see Figure 1).

Note We generally recommend using unmanaged switches, instead of hubs, on
networks. A hub may be used with a single device to extend beyond the
Ethernet 100 meter limit. We do not recommend attaching multiple devices
to a hub since this commonly introduces Ethernet message collisions that
can affect overall system performance.
On some routers, IP Helper can be enabled to propagate broadcast mes-
sages. These messages are then sent as subnet broadcasts for a particular
port. If a device is configured on a subnet that matches IP Helper, then it
will receive and respond to broadcast messages. However, if the device is
completely unconfigured or misconfigured, it will not receive the broadcast
message even if IP Helper is enabled.

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 9
Introduction
In summary, NetConfig works on a flat, isolated LAN without the need for
special network configuration. To work properly in any other network
topology, network system configuration outside the scope of this manual
may be required. Work with your network administrator if you wish to use
NetConfig in other network environments.
Important Security Information
The NetConfig application is a powerful tool. A NetConfig user can easily
change the IP addresses of NetConfig compliant devices on a network, and
can change the software installed on those devices. For responsible facility
engineering staff these capabilities are extremely useful for bringing up and
configuring systems. A person with malicious intent, however, can use
these same capabilities to take any or all NetConfig compliant devices on
the network offline, possibly seriously disrupting facility operations.
It is assumed that those using NetConfig are indeed legitimate authorized
users, and are working in premises which are physically secure/restricted
and protected from extraneous network penetration, either by physical iso-
lation or behind a company firewall.
Device Software Load Background Information
NetConfig can be used by several different Grass Valley product lines to
load software to various devices over the network. The same NetConfig
application software is used by all the product lines, but different kinds of
device software will need to be loaded to different devices. Identifying
what type and version of software is available to NetConfig to load is
accomplished using separate files included with each specific product line
release. These files provide NetConfig paths to the locations of the software
appropriate for each device. Only the path and software files for that par-
ticular product line will be included in the NetConfig software bundled
with that product’s software releases. These files are installed onto the PC
along with the NetConfig application itself.
In earlier versions of NetConfig, files appended with .sw3 were used to
identify the type and location of device software. In newer versions, .xml
files are used. NetConfig supports either or both mechanisms. The organi-
zational tree structure displayed by NetConfig from which you choose
which software version to load is determined by these files.
For example, if you install the NetConfig application provided with one
product, and then install NetConfig provided with a different product, the
new product’s .xml or .sw3 files are simply added to that PC, and do not
overwrite files of the other product line. NetConfig can still load the other
product’s software to those devices. The software load tree structure will
show both the new product line device software and the previous product
line device software.

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 10
Before You Start
Before You Start
NetConfig presumes some degree of customer-furnished equipment (CFE)
and software in order to complete the system. This equipment typically
includes one or more personal computers (PCs), an Ethernet switch or
switches, and category 5 UTP Ethernet cabling with RJ-45 connectors.
Hardware and Software Requirements
You can run NetConfig on the PC or one of the PCs already running other
Grass Valley software for your system. Alternatively, you can run Net-
Config on a separate PC connected to your Grass Valley network.
Depending on the system deployed, the PC can be used to accomplish
many tasks. These tasks range from running a simple client application to
complete control and configuration of an entire system.
To run NetConfig you will need:
• Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, or Windows 7 and above oper-
ating system,
• to be logged in with Administrator-level privileges for the local
machine, and
• have Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later installed.
Windows 7 Requirements
If your PC is running Windows 7, opening the NetConfig application by
clicking the shortcut may display an error message: Health check pings dis-
abled, which indicates the application needs administrator access. This can
be accomplished in various ways”
Permanent Application Administrator Access
• Right click on the program shortcut, then click on Properties and on the
Compatibility tab, check the Run this program as an administrator box, and then
click OK.
-or-
• Right click on the program shortcut, then click on Properties. Click on the
Shortcut tab for a program shortcut, then click on the Advanced button.
Check the Run as an administrator box, and then click OK.
Current Session Only Administrator Access
• Right click on the program shortcut or program .exe file, and click on
Run as administrator.

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 11
Installing NetConfig
Installing NetConfig
NetConfig can be purchased as a separate option, or it may be bundled
with individual Grass Valley product software. If bundled, refer to the soft-
ware installation instructions provided with that Grass Valley product
(typically a Software Release Note or Instruction Manual).
CAUTION After NetConfig installation, do not delete any files under the directory where
the NetConfig tool resides. This may lead to abnormal behavior of the tool.
Plug-In Licensing
Some NetConfig plug-ins for specific products employ a licensing key
mechanism. Each license key is associated with a particular PC, and sepa-
rate keys will need to be purchased for each NetConfig computer installa-
tion that will employ that plug-in. The licensing keys only apply to plug-in
functionality. The NetConfig application itself can be installed onto any
computer and its basic functionality will be fully operational.
NetConfig Versions
If you already have NetConfig installed on your computer, you can check
its version information by clicking About button on the NetConfig toolbar.
The NetConfig installer replaces any older version of NetConfig that may
already reside on your PC. You do not need to uninstall any older versions
first. A version checking mechanism has been implemented that prevents
overwriting newer NetConfig software with an older version.
Note Always select the NetConfig check box when installing bundled software to
get the latest version of NetConfig, which may be required to support neces-
sary plug-ins.

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 12
Installing NetConfig
NetConfig Installation Procedure
Note Bundled versions of NetConfig may have different installation screens. A
menu with check boxes may be displayed that allows you to choose which
components to install. Refer to the documentation provided with that product
for specific installation instructions.
1. Insert the NetConfig CD-ROM into the CD drive in your networked
PC. The setup application should autorun when inserted. If not, locate
the Setup.EXE file on the CD and double-click on it to start the
installation. The Welcome screen is displayed (Figure 2).

2. Click Next >. The License Agreement screen is displayed (Figure 3).
Figure 3. License Agreement Screen

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 13
Installing NetConfig
3. Read the license agreement and click on the I Agree radio button, then
the Next > button to continue. (Pressing the I Disagree button will halt the
install.) If NetConfig has not previously been installed, a Destination
screen appears allowing you to choose a folder location (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Installation Destination Location
• If an older version of NetConfig already exists on the PC, you will
not be allowed to choose a different location. This prevents
installing multiple versions of NetConfig on the same PC. The
screen displayed indicates the existing NetConfig application will
be overwritten (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Installation Destination of Previous Installation
Note If a newer version of NetConfig already exists at the installation destination,
a message will be displayed that prevents you from overwriting the newer
version with the older version. If this occurs when using a product software
CD, unselect NetConfig and install only the product specific files. You will not
need to re-install NetConfig since a newer version is already present.

NetConfig PC Configuration with Two NICs
If NetConfig does not discover the devices you expect to see on a PC which
has two or more Network Interface Cards (NICs), this may indicate you
need to change the setting of the default gateway for the PC.
NetConfig sends broadcast messages to discover devices on the network
which are then displayed in the IP and Device views. Broadcast messages
are sent via the NIC which has the default gateway assigned to it. If the
devices you are expecting to see are on the LAN attached to another NIC,
then you must make that NIC the primary NIC for the PC, so that it's
gateway address is used as the default gateway for the PC.
If you have two or more NICs, use one of the following two methods to
assign the default gateway.
Setting Default Gateway
Method 1 - Adapters and Bindings Tab
1. On the PC desktop, right-click on My Network Places and select Properties.
2. Select the Advanced selection in the menu and chose Advanced Settings in
the pulldown (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Setting Default Gateway
3. Select the Adapters and Bindings tab (Figure 11).

NetConfig — Instruction Manual 17
Using NetConfig
4. In the Connections box, click on the connection you want to broadcast
on. If it is not at the top of the list, use the up arrow to move it to the
top.The device at the top of the list is the default gateway.
Figure 11. Adapters and Bindings Tab
Method 2 - Disable and Re-Enable Connection
1. Right-click on My Network Places and select Properties.
2. You should see two connections. Right-click on the connections you
don’t want to broadcast on and select Disable.
The other connection is now the one enabled and it becomes the default
gateway.
3. Now enable the other connection. The default gateway will remain on
the correct connection.
Using NetConfig
You can launch NetConfig a number of ways, but you’ll find it on the Start
menu under Grass Valley Group or an icon will be placed on the desktop
during installation. When you launch NetConfig for the first time (or when
there are no devices connected for the tool to auto-detect and there are no
logical trees under the Facility View previously created by users) the initial
window looks much like it does in Figure 12.

Initial NetConfig Main Screen, No Devices Present
The Discover button is used to detect devices on the network, and the three
View buttons determine how the devices are shown on the screen.
When devices are detected and a view is selected, the left side of the screen
displays the logical tree of the devices on the network the PC is connected
to (via the Default Gateway assigned to the PC).
The right portion of the screen is the web browser view. When you click a
device in the IP or Device views or a Facility view device with an
embedded link, the home page for that device or the embedded link is dis-
played in the web browser view (Figure 13).

Using NetConfig
The names of all devices connected to the network and their current IP
addresses are listed by IP address under IP View. The root of the IP view dis-
plays the name and IP address of the local computer running NetConfig.
Select the IP View button or the IP View selection in the View pulldown
menu. Expand the view to see the devices (see Figure 14 on page 19).
The Device View hierarchically lists the categories and types of devices, and
under each device type, the names of each device of that type connected to
the network. Select the Device View button or the Device View selection in the
View pulldown menu. The Device view does not display the IP addresses
of the devices.
