Addressing computers in a cascade SAM SAM The unique address of this host is: SAM 08 Using cascaded computers In use, cascaded computers can be accessed using exactly the same methods as for those connected directly to the SC5-IP. However, by far the easiest way is to use the on screen menu. This is because it displays the computer names and does not require any knowledge of port addresses.
Multiple video head connections LOCAL LOCAL Two or more SC5-IP units can be connected together so that they USER USER operate in a synchronised manner. Synchronised operation is useful for applications that require multiple video signals to be switched together. This type of operation is usually required where each -IP computer is fitted with multiple video cards or video cards with multiple video heads.
Remote switching control The port switching functions of the SC5-IP units can be REMOTE CONTROL remotely controlled by an RS232 link to the OPTIONS port on the rear panel. -IP The sending device must use the following RS232 communication settings: Baud rate: 19200 bps Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 No handshaking is implemented, however, valid command characters will be echoed back to the sending device. Note: You must ensure that the SC5-IP unit has it Options serial ports set to ‘Sync Units’.
Configuration When setting up a new installation, the following stages are recommended: 1 Enable the general ‘Security’ option. With security disabled (default setting), a local or remote user attached to the SC5-IP will have full and unrestricted access to all computers and all SC5-IP settings. In larger installations, you are strongly recommended to enable security and set up individual user accounts with access privileges.

When a web server is also on the local network Port 80 is the standard port used by web (HTTP) servers. If the SC5-IP is situated within a local network that also includes a web server or any other device serving port 80 then, if you want to use the web browser interface from outside the local network environment, the HTTP port number of the SC5-IP may need to be changed.
DNS addressing As with any other network device, you can arrange for your SC5-IP to be accessible using a name, rather than an IP address. This can be achieved in two main ways: • For small networks that do not have a DNS (Domain Name System) server, edit the ‘hosts’ files on the appropriate remote systems. Using the hosts file, you can manually link the SC5-IP address to the required name.
Addressing When the SC5-IP is situated alongside the firewall, it will require a public static IP address (i.e. one provided by your Internet service provider). More addressing information: Discover DHCP-allocated addresses DNS addressing Ensuring sufficient security The security capabilities offered by the SC5-IP are only truly effective when they are correctly used.

Preferred encoding There are three manually selectable encoding methods which are accessible when the Auto select option is unticked. • ZRLE – This is a highly compressed method that is best suited to slow modem connections.
192.168.142.154 192 is the most global part of the number (akin to the 0044 of the phone number) and 154 is the most local (similar to the 754000 unique local code of the phone number). When two network devices communicate with each other, they always “dial the whole number” regardless of their respective locations in a network. However, they still need to know whether the other device is local to them or not, and this is where the net mask comes into play.
10011010 192 168 142 144 Inside a bit-wise AND function When you “open up” the last octet of the net mask and look at the binary inside, you can see the last four zero bits preventing any 1’s in the address from falling through. Binary equivalent of 154 1111 0 0 0 0 10010000 144 Binary octet after AND operation with net mask Decimal equivalent of 10010000 Thus, when 154 is bit-wise ANDed with 240, the result is 144. Likewise, any local address from 192.168.142.144 through to 192.168.142.
Address ranges Although you can define ranges of addresses, due to the way that the mask operates, there are certain restrictions on the particular ranges that can be set. For any given address you can encompass neighbouring addresses in blocks of either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc. and these must fall on particular boundaries. For instance, if you wanted to define the local address range: 192.168.142.67 to 192.168.142.93 The closest single block to cover the range would be the 32 addresses from: 192.168.
