the Network Configuration Assistant. For instructions on running the Network Configuration<br />
Assistant, continue to Configuring the Network Switches. If you did not purchase switches from<br />
<strong>Omneon</strong> then contact <strong>Omneon</strong> Technical Support or your network administrator for assistance with<br />
configuring your network switches.<br />
Once you have configured your network switches, continue to Getting Started with the <strong>Omneon</strong><br />
<strong>MediaGrid</strong> Configuration Assistant for instructions on running the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong><br />
Configuration Assistant, the on-screen method for configuring an <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong> system.<br />
The Configuration Assistant is a Q&A script that prompts you for <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong> information<br />
specific to your site. The Configuration Assistant files are located on the ContentDirectors. The<br />
information you provide is used to populate the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong> configuration files with the<br />
specific customer information.<br />
NOTE: The procedures outlined in this section are written for qualified technical personnel, skilled at<br />
advanced networking procedures. If you have any questions, please consult with your facility’s network<br />
administrator or contact <strong>Omneon</strong> Technical Support.<br />
Configuring the Network Switches<br />
Before configuring your <strong>MediaGrid</strong> system, you must configure your network switches. If you are<br />
using 1GbE switches provided by <strong>Omneon</strong> for an all-1GbE network, you can use the Network<br />
Configuration Assistant, a stand-alone utility, described in this section.<br />
IMPORTANT: Note the following:<br />
• The Network Configuration Assistant cannot be used for any non-<strong>Omneon</strong> switches or for any 10GbE<br />
switches. For help with configuring those, contact <strong>Omneon</strong> Technical Support or your network<br />
administrator.<br />
• The Network Configuration Assistant generates all switch configurations based upon a /24 (Class C)<br />
address-space. If you need any other address type, the IP/Netmask values must be modified manually<br />
after the configuration file is generated. For assistance, contact <strong>Omneon</strong> Technical Support or your<br />
network administrator.<br />
The Network Configuration Assistant asks a number of configuration questions and uses the<br />
information to populate switch configuration files located on the ContentDirector. These files can<br />
then be copied to your switches.<br />
Before you begin:<br />
• Make sure you have reviewed the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong> Installation Planning Guide and completed the<br />
configuration worksheet included in that document before running the Network Configuration<br />
Assistant.<br />
• Make sure the system is cabled completely.<br />
• Make sure you have a USB drive on hand.<br />
To run the Network Configuration Assistant:<br />
1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the first ContentDirector.<br />
