15. IP address 192 168 0 42 Security issues with ports The settings of port numbers become important when the SC5 IP is situated behind a network firewall In order for a remote VNC viewer or web browser to make contact with your SC5 IP it is necessary for the firewall to allow communication through a particular numbered port to occur One specific function of firewalls is to restrict access to ports in order to prevent malicious attackers using them as a route into your network Every new port that is opened offers a new possibility for hackers and so the number of accessible ports is purposefully kept to a minimum In such cases it may be advantageous to change one or both SC5 IP ports to use the same number The other alternative is to place the SC5 IP unit outside the firewall and take full advantage of its secure operation features see Networking issues for details IMPORTANT The correct configuration of routers and firewalls requires advanced networking skills and intimate knowledge of the particular network We cannot provide specific advice on how to configure your network devices and strongly recommend that such tasks are carried out by a qualified professional LINDY OPERATION Ise INSTALLATION E z PAS me ae SR Z INDEX 80 Appendix 7 Cable and connector specifications Multi head synchronisation cable MASTER end SLAVE end 9pin D type female 9pin D type female TXD D GI RXD Use this cab

ION INSTALLATION FURTHER INFORMATION Multiple video head connections Two or more SC5 IP units can be connected together so that they operate in a synchronised manner Synchronised operation is useful for applications that require multiple video signals to be switched together This type of operation is usually required where each computer is fitted with multiple video cards or video cards with multiple video heads Whenever an SC5 IP channel is switched it sends an RS232 command out on its serial interface marked OPTIONS on the rear panel An SC5 IP will switch its channel if it receives the same command on its serial interface Consequently by linking the serial interfaces a master unit may be made to automatically switch one or more slave units as shown in the diagram Note You must ensure that all SC5 P units have their Options serial ports set to Sync Units and that their baud rates are identical These settings can be made either via the local or global user configuration menus It should be noted that the synchronisation cable deliberately does not have the transmit pin of the Slave End connector linked to the receive pin of the Master End connector To do so would cause the Slave unit to be able to switch the Master unit This would setup an endless cyclical switching sequence that would prevent the SC5 IP devices from operating correctly For more details about the serial synchronisation cables see Appendix 7
