9. As the transfer occurs, you will see the following transfer progress count, frame by frame, and also the
transfer speed in frames per second (fps):
0 of 15000 frames copied (0.0 fps)
5 of 15000 frames copied (1.7 fps)
76 of 15000 frames copied (19.0 fps)
138 of 15000 frames copied (27.6 fps)
191 of 15000 frames copied (31.8 fps)
Configuring a ContentBridge
Only perform these steps if you add a ContentBridge to an already-configured Omneon MediaGrid
system.
The ContentBridge must have a fixed (static) IP address. It is recommended that you assign an IP
address from the bottom of the dynamic range and that those addresses be removed from the range.
The DHCP server must also recognize the MAC address of the ContentBridge and assign it a reserved
IP address during startup. The ContentBridge MAC address is located on the outside of the unit.
Follow these steps to assign a static IP address to the ContentBridge. Additionally, a DNS entry must
exist in the domain server for the ContentBridge. Use the following IP address range when assigning
the addresses: xx.xx.xx.50-99.
In the following example, “CLB0F118” is the ContentBridge host name. Make sure that the hardware
Ethernet addresses match the port numbers (eth0 or eth1) and the public network addresses.
To configure a ContentBridge:
1. Open the /etc/dhcpd.conf file for the primary ContentDirector by typing the following:
sudo vi /etc/dhcpd.conf
2. Add two entries for each ContentBridge, including the following information: domain-name-servers,
domain-name, subnet-mask, routers, hardware Ethernet MAC address and fixed IP address. An entry
is needed for each Ethernet port on the ContentBridge.
3. Type the following to synchronize the time between the ContentDirectors:
ntpdate -u IP_ADDRESS
where IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of a valid NTP server (preferably the SystemManager).
4. Enter the following commands after editing the file:
sudo service dhcpd configtest
sudo service dhcpd restart
