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 />

2. Log on to the ContentDirector using the following user name and password:<br />
