XV0500 Video MCU

Getting Started Guide

Package Contents

 XV0500 (2U 19'' width unit)
 Short CAT 6 Ethernet cable
 USB cable
 Power cord
 Support hardware for 19'' cabinet

Prerequisites

You need a computer equipped with Internet browser. Firefox is recommended.

Step 1: Power the Unit

1. For safety reasons, if the line wiring exits the building, it is essential to ground the unit.

Note: Not connecting this device to grounding will void your warranty!

a. Connect a grounding tab to the grounding screw on the rear panel.

b. Using 12-16 gauge wire, connect the grounding tab to a reliable ground.

2. Connect Ethernet interface of the MCU-DSP card to the eth1 interface by using supplied Ethernet

cable.

3. Connect the unit to the LAN via the eth0 interface.

4. Connect the power cord to the device and turn on the power using the switch on the rear panel.

The device startup process takes about 2 minutes.

Step 2: Configure or Obtain the IP Settings for XV0500

Please note that eth1 interface and the MCU-DSP card Ethernet interface are pre-configured for

172.16.200.1 and 172.16.200.2 correspondingly. If the 172.16.200.nnn addresses are already in use
on the LAN then it is necessary to change the IP addresses of the MCU-DSP and the eth1 interface in
order to avoid conflict of IP addresses. Please refer to “XV0500 MCU User’s Guide” for further
details.

It is possible to configure or obtain the eth0 and eth1 IP settings by using a keyboard and a display
monitor.

1. Connect a keyboard and a display monitor.

2. Login to the XV0500 as follows:

User name: root

Password: akuo-kfo

Note: The default Linux keyboard configuration is U.S. When entering the password the ­(dash/hyphen) key is to the right of the 0 (zero) key, no matter which keyboard layout you are
using.

a. How to obtain IP address(es) received from DHCP server

To see the IP addresses of the eth0 and eth1 interfaces use the command: ifconfig -a

As a result you’ll get a block of data like this:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 38:60:77:21:11:D9
inet addr:192.168.0.61 Bcast:192.168.15.255 Mask:255.255.240.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:835971 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:25179 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:71081837 (67.7 MiB) TX bytes:6761865 (6.4 MiB)
Interrupt:58 Memory:fe600000-fe620000

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 38:60:77:21:11:DA
inet addr:172.16.200.1 Bcast:172.16.200.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:24735549 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:30644197 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:2000
RX bytes:2167528619 (2.0 GiB) TX bytes:1477936510 (1.3 GiB)
Interrupt:177 Memory:fe400000-fe420000

In this example the XV0500 eth0 interface received IP address 192.168.0.61. The eth1
interface has the default statically defined 172.16.200.1 address.

b. How to configure a static IP address(es)

Insert the required variables into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 <<EOF
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.64
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
EOF

If you also want to define the eth1 interface, then:

cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 <<EOF
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=172.16.200.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
