3 System overview
The Oxygen 5 Digital is a digital modular audio system that can solve your digital mixing/routing
requirements in your broadcast studio or in your complete broadcast facility. The modular system can
be used in all your mixing/routing applications like on-air broadcast, self-op, production and voice
tracking.
3.1 System parts
To make a functional mixing console you require at least a 19” rack with a DSP card (32 stereo
channels), the desired I/O cards and a control surface that can control all the mixing power. The
connection between the 19” rack(s) and control surface(s) rely on a network protocol that is been
called MambaNet.
MambaNet works on Ethernet layer 2, there for no IP-addresse s have to be setup for the ‘real-time’
functionality.
WARNING: Do not connect multiple Oxygen 5 Digital engines/racks in the same Ethernet
network (Layer 2)
To connect surface(s) and 19” rack(s) you can built on this known Ethernet standard with common
switches till advanced managed switches with all the security solutions as there are STP (spanning
tree protocol), Trunking etc.
For (remote) configuration the well known webbrowser is used to access the consoles webserver. Of
course this happens on a IP-based level of communication, which makes it possible to configure
system over the internet.
The defaults IP-addresse s for configuration pages are:
http://192.168.0.200
for the configuration in main menu
http://192.168.0.23x
for the
controller surface configuration. (for the first surface set
x
to 4, for a
second surface set x to 5, etc).
To prevent other people to access the Oxygen 5 Digital configuration pages you need to logon.
The default logon is:
Username: service
Password: service
This account may change, which is explained in Appendix B.
Network specialists can find some more information in chapter 16 (Appendix A).
