How to Configure the Island
EIO0000000051 6/2010 57
Additional SIM Features
The removable memory card option in the STB NIP 2311 has an additional feature
that allows you to store network parameters. When properly configured, these
parameters will be written to flash along with the island parameters on power up.
z You must use the configuration software to configure the network communication
parameters.
z The communication parameters can be configured only while offline. They take
effect after a power cycle of the STB NIP 2311.
z You must select the Enable Editing check box in the Ethernet Parameters tab
to enable parameter entries. This check box must remain selected when the
configuration is downloaded to the island. If it is deselected before configuration
download to the island, these parameters will not be used upon power up.
z You must set the ONES rotary switch position to STORED to use the configured
communication parameters.
Initial Configuration and Reconfiguration Scenarios
Use the following procedure to set up an island bus with configuration data that was
previously saved (see page 236) to a removable memory card. You can use this
procedure to configure a new island or to overwrite an existing configuration.
(NOTE: The use of this procedure destroys your existing configuration data.)
Step Action Result
1 Install the removable
memory card in its
drawer in the NIM
(see page 53).
2 Power on the new island
bus.
The configuration data on the card is checked. If the data
is valid, it is written to Flash memory. The system
restarts automatically, and the island is configured with
this data. If the configuration data is invalid, it is not used
and the island bus stops.
If the configuration data was in edit mode, the island bus
remains in edit mode. If the configuration data on the
card was password-protected (see page 240), your
island bus enters protected mode at the end of the
configuration process.
NOTE: If you are using this procedure to reconfigure an
island bus and your island is in protected mode, you can
use the configuration software to change the island’s
operational mode to edit.
