Media Network Info and Warnings

The Media Networks Diagram has some indicators that can be reviewed for more information.

Error messages

AVBControlRequired:

There are expanders on the default AVB network. These expanders must be able to exchange control signals with their proxy servers. This requires exactly one of the following two network configurations. Either:

1. The default AVB network ports and control network ports must be plugged into the same network. Or:

2. If the default AVB network ports and control network ports are plugged into different networks, the default AVB interfaces on servers that proxy expanders must be enabled for control signaling via the network settings in device maintenance. This should not be done if these ports are plugged into the same network.

DisjointNetworksPresent:

All Tesira devices on media networks must have access to the system’s master clock via one of their media network ports. This requires that there is some path from every device to the designated clock master network. Such a path may pass through other devices in the Tesira system. In the current layout there are devices on media networks with no path to the clock master network. These devices are indicated in red on the media networks diagram.

This error occurs when the compiler is unable to find a solution with full media-network interconnectivity, leading to isolated media-network “islands” in the topology. To correct this problem, try to remove constraints (such as fixed allocations, etc.) that prevent the compiler from finding a connected solution. Alternately, you may add fixed-allocated blocks that force a media network connection between the isolated “islands.”

ClockMasterUnused:

None of the devices in this system have media network interfaces on the designated clock master network. Therefore the system cannot use this network as its clock master. Either choose a different clock master network in the media networks setup form, or else add blocks that utilize the designated clock master.
