System Configuration the Network Configuration Assistant. For instructions on running the Network Configuration Assistant, continue to Configuring the Network Switches. If you did not purchase switches from Omneon then contact Omneon Technical Support or your network administrator for assistance with configuring your network switches. Once you have configured your network switches, continue to Getting Started with the Omneon MediaGrid Configuration Assistant for instructions on running the Omneon MediaGrid Configuration Assistant, the on-screen method for configuring an Omneon MediaGrid system. The Configuration Assistant is a Q&A script that prompts you for Omneon MediaGrid information specific to your site. The Configuration Assistant files are located on the ContentDirectors. The information you provide is used to populate the Omneon MediaGrid configuration files with the specific customer information. NOTE: The procedures outlined in this section are written for qualified technical personnel, skilled at advanced networking procedures. If you have any questions, please consult with your facility’s network administrator or contact Omneon Technical Support. Configuring the Network Switches Before configuring your MediaGrid system, you must configure your network switches. If you are using 1GbE switches provided by Omneon for an all-1GbE network, you can use the Network Configuration Assistant, a stand-alone utility, described in this section. IMPORTANT: Note the following: • The Network Configuration Assistant cannot be used for any non-Omneon switches or for any 10GbE switches. For help with configuring those, contact Omneon Technical Support or your network administrator. • The Network Configuration Assistant generates all switch configurations based upon a /24 (Class C) address-space. If you need any other address type, the IP/Netmask values must be modified manually after the configuration file is generated. For assistance, contact Omneon Technical Support or your network administrator. The Network Configuration Assistant asks a number of configuration questions and uses the information to populate switch configuration files located on the ContentDirector. These files can then be copied to your switches. Before you begin: • Make sure you have reviewed the Omneon MediaGrid Installation Planning Guide and completed the configuration worksheet included in that document before running the Network Configuration Assistant. • Make sure the system is cabled completely. • Make sure you have a USB drive on hand. To run the Network Configuration Assistant: 1. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the first ContentDirector. 2. Log on to the ContentDirector using the following user name and password: User name: ovnuser 84 Installation and Configuration Guide
