Device Definition
The Kayenne K-Frame system uses a software External Device Definition
object to define the capabilities of each device interfaced with the system.
External Device Definitions contain the interface information required for
that external device, (e.g., IP Address or Serial Port). Each Device Defini-
tion is given a unique name. Once a Device Definition has been created for
a device (DDR, or VTR), it can be assigned to a source. That source then
supports the specific capabilities of that external device. (PBus and GPI
configurations are different, and are not associated with a particular
source.)
Touching an already defined item in the scrolling External Devices list on
the left brings up information for that device and delegates the rest of the
menu to that object.
Device Name
– Touching this button opens an alphanumeric keypad used to
give the External Device a descriptive name. These names appear in the
Control Panel System Bar and GV Switcher menus.
Note
When configuring servers with multiple channels, the channel number must
be appended to the device name with a - character, and the base name be the
same for all channels on the same server (e.g. 'Vdr4-1', 'Vdr4-2', etc.).
Type
– Chooses a control protocol for the currently selected device.
•
For Ethernet devices, and IP address field is available for entering the
IP address of the External Device (

•
For serial control devices, touching a Port button on the right assigns
the selected device to that port (
).
