NetConfig Features
The NetConfig application is designed to make network configuration
simple.
• NetConfig discovers devices on the network, and these devices can
have their IP addresses configured remotely using the PC on which
NetConfig has been installed,
• NetConfig reports duplicate IP addresses, which can be easily resolved,
• NetConfig is used to install software to these devices,
• NetConfig can be used to identify devices, by blinking their LEDs or
panel buttons,
• NetConfig incorporates a web browser that displays web pages served
by the devices on the network,
• NetConfig provides rudimentary health checks of these devices, and
• NetConfig provides inventory tools for equipment management.
Application specific NetConfig plug-ins are also available for use with
various Grass Valley products (for example, Newton and Prelude). Each
plug-in provides special functionality for that product.
