Network Setup

The network connection for the switcher sub-system in Graphite has an independent ethernet port that allows you to upload stills to the Media​-Store channels, download switcher data files, connect to a physical panel, and control switcher functions using DashBoard. This network connection is separate from the Windows® configured one and must use a separate IP address.

Note: XPression uses a separate network connection than the one being set up here. Refer to the XPression documentation for information on setting up its IP address.
