You can integrate the RM4200D in a normal Ethernet network. For this, you have to observe some details to allow the system to communicate stably and reliably over the network. Please find the necessary detailed information in the next chapter. (see How To Run RM4200D Systems in a Network)
The following list is a summary of the most important requirements:
Operate the DHD systems in their own network, physically separate from other networks.
If a PC is connected to the DHD systems and to other networks, make sure to put two network cards into the PC that areconnected with one of the networks respectively.
The network of the DHD sytems must route UDP broadcast packets. If this is not the case, there is no communication between different DSP frames possible.
There must be no external UDP broadcast traffic in a DHD network. Otherwise, foreign UDP packets can can disturb the operation of a DHD system to a great deal.
Make sure you operate the operating panel RM420-015 and the Remote Control Software RC420 never at the same time in a RM4200D !
You may operate the operating panel RM420-015 and the DSP Control Software at the same time in a RM42900D, if you use the DSP Control Software with reduced data rate only. To do this, start up the software using the parameter access4.exe -i 1000.
