14. Importing and exporting settings The settings can be saved as a configuration file on a computer using [Export] on the [Others] page. Click the [Export] button to display the save file dialog. Enter a file name and save. A saved configuration file can be loaded using [Import] on the [Others] page. Click [Browse...] to display the import file dialog, and select a configuration file. 15. Verifying settings Setting configurations can be verified under [System Status] on the [Status] page. If the MAIN connector of a partner NXL-IP55 unit is connected to the network, any inconsistencies between the units' configurations will be displayed here. 16. Verifying the network environment An independent and secure network with low latency and sufficient bandwidth is required to transmit video with this unit. You can verify whether the network you want to use fulfills the transmission requirements using [Network Test] on the [Network] page. Connect to the partner NXL-IP55 unit via the network, configure the network settings, and then start the test. 1 Open the [Network] page. 2 Select the [Test mode] checkbox in [Network Test]. Select the checkboxes for both the local unit and the partner unit. 3 Click the [Run] button. The test starts. The test items will differ depending on the video transmission settings, so be sure to perform the test on both the local unit and the partner unit. Notes • Check that the network settings and video transmission settings are configured properly on both the local and partner units before performing the test. • The [Test mode] checkboxes must be selected for both the local and partner units. Proper test results cannot be obtained if both the checkboxes are not selected. • Normal video transmission is not possible while the [Test mode] checkboxes are selected. During the test, a video used to verify the network will be output to all streams. When the test is complete, be sure to clear the [Test mode] checkboxes for both the local and partner units. Test items and results display The following items are checked, and the results will be displayed as "Pass," "Failed," or "Borderline." Item Physical link MAC address resolution ICMP Echo/ Reply Network Genlock Packet delay Packet delay jitter Description Test results for the MAIN connector's physical interface. Pass: 1000BASE-T connection established properly. Failed: 1000BASE-T connection is not established properly, or cable is not connected. Test result for the MAIN connector's MAC address on the partner unit. Pass: MAC address obtained properly. Failed: MAC address could not be obtained. Test result for the MAIN connector's IP address and ICMP echo response on the partner unit. Pass: A response to the ICMP echo sent to the partner unit was properly obtained. Failed: There was no response to the ICMP echo sent to the partner unit, or the ICMP echo failed to be sent. Network synchronization status when the tested unit is a Follower. Pass: Network Genlock is operating properly, and the unit is locked to the Leader. Failed: The unit is not locked to the Leader. Note When the tested unit is a Leader, this item is not tested. Verify the status on the Follower side. Average delay time for received packets when the tested unit is a Follower. Pass: The network latency meets the unit's transmission requirements. Borderline: The network latency barely meets the unit's transmission requirements. Failed: The network latency does not meet the unit's transmission requirements. Note When the tested unit is a Leader, this item is not tested. Verify the status on the Follower side. Difference between the shortest delay and longest delay for received packets (i.e., variation). Pass: The network latency variation meets the unit's transmission requirements. Borderline: The network latency variation barely meets the unit's transmission requirements. Failed: The network latency variation does not meet the unit's transmission requirements. Note When the tested unit is a Leader, this item is not tested. Verify the status on the Follower side. 14 Settings

14. Importing and exporting settings
The settings can be saved as a configuration file on a
computer using [Export] on the [Others] page. Click the
[Export] button to display the save file dialog. Enter a file
name and save.
A saved configuration file can be loaded using [Import]
on the [Others] page. Click [Browse…] to display the
import file dialog, and select a configuration file.
15. Verifying settings
Setting configurations can be verified under [System
Status] on the [Status] page.
If the MAIN connector of a partner NXL-IP55 unit is
connected to the network, any inconsistencies between
the units’ configurations will be displayed here.
16. Verifying the network environment
An independent and secure network with low latency and
sufficient bandwidth is required to transmit video with
this unit. You can verify whether the network you want to
use fulfills the transmission requirements using [Network
Test] on the [Network] page.
Connect to the partner NXL-IP55 unit via the network,
configure the network settings, and then start the test.
1
Open the [Network] page.
2
Select the [Test mode] checkbox in [Network Test].
Select the checkboxes for both the local unit and the
partner unit.
3
Click the [Run] button.
The test starts. The test items will differ depending on
the video transmission settings, so be sure to perform
the test on both the local unit and the partner unit.
•
Check that the network settings and video transmission
settings are configured properly on both the local and
partner units before performing the test.
•
The [Test mode] checkboxes must be selected for both
the local and partner units. Proper test results cannot be
obtained if both the checkboxes are not selected.
•
Normal video transmission is not possible while the
[Test mode] checkboxes are selected. During the test, a
video used to verify the network will be output to all
streams. When the test is complete, be sure to clear the
[Test mode] checkboxes for both the local and partner
units.
