SRX-R515P v1.00.0 Networking Functionality 

Overview 

The SRX-R515P with v1.00.0 software is now available but cannot be connected to the Sony 
TMS until the next version up. The SRX-R515P however is still capable of being controlled 
over the network and accessing DCP and KDMs from a central storage device. This allows 
the R515 to be installed at inaccessible locations, such as projection pods, but still able to be 
operated over the network. Below is a list of functions that are described in this document: 

  Network overview of SRX-R515P 

  Configuring SRX-R515P IP addresses 

  Configuring Storage Server IP addresses 

  Accessing the R515 GUI over the network 

  Setting up a folder share for DCP/KDM ingest over the network 

  Configuring R515 to access a folder share for DCP/KDM ingest 

  Configuring R515 to access a FTP server for DCP/KDM ingest 

Note. It is not recommended to perform ingesting operations or SPL editing during 
play-out when using SRX-R515P v1.00.0 software. This is expected to be improved in 
the next firmware version.

Network Overview of SRX-R515P 

When connecting the SRX-R515P to a network there are two required network connections 
to the XCT-S10 server, and one network connection between the XCT-S10 and the XCT-
M10 (IMB).

use of VLANs on a switch.

Configuring Storage Server IP Addresses 

The storage server or PC that you wish to connect to the R515 will require an IP address on 
the same subnet as the CTRL Port to access the GUI, and an IP address on the same 
subnet as the DATA port for the server to be seen as a DCP/KDM source. 

This can be achieved in two ways either give separate IPs to two NICs on the server, or 
configure one NIC with two IP addresses. Below is the procedure to configure one NIC with 
two IP addresses on Windows Server 2008 R2. 

Configuring

 

two

 

IP

 

addresses

 

on

 

Windows

 

Server

 

2008

 

Log on to the server/PC you wish to access the R515 from. 

Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Network Adapters. 

Right Click on the Network adapter and select Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 
properties. 

The following screen will appear. 

 

Figure 5  IP4 properties 

Select ‘Use the following IP Address’ and enter an IP in the CTRL in Subnet range. Since 
the CRTL in IP is 192.168.101.111 this was chosen as 192.168.101.5. 

To add a second IP address to the NIC click the ‘Advanced’ button, then click add to the IP 
address section. Since the DATA in IP is 192.168.201.111 this was chosen as 
192.168.201.5.

Figure 6 - Adding 2nd IP address to Server 

Accessing SRX-R515P GUI over the network 

Once the IP addresses are set on the projector and the server/PC you are ready to access 
the R515 GUI on the remote server/PC. 

You are required to install the latest Chrome or Firefox v14 and above browser for this 
purpose, Internet Explorer does not work. 

Enter the following address into the browser: 

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/EvansGUI/run.html

  

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = IP address of CTRL in port of projector 

A certificate issue with the website may occur, press “proceed anyway” to continue to the 
GUI screen. Please see the SRX-R515P installation manual for more details on how to avoid 
this message.

Setting up a folder share for DCP/KDM ingest over the network 

On the server/PC you wish to setup a folder for ingesting DCP and KDM content to the R515 
follow the steps below. 

1-  Right click on the desktop and create a new folder. 
2-  Rename the folder ‘library1’ 
3-  Right Click on the folder and select ‘share with’ then ‘specific people’ 
4-  Enter everyone with read/write permissions. 

 

5-  Click share and note the share location. Substitute the Server/PC with the DATA IP 

address of the server. 

a. E.g. 

\\192.168.201.5\library1

   

6-  This will give all users of the server/PC access to this share folder. 
7-  Copy DCPs into this folder which you wish to share with the SRX-R515P (make sure 

you copy them into separate folders). 

8-  Inside this Library1 folder if you create a folder named ‘KDM’ you can place KDMs in 

this folder which can be browsed to for KDM ingest.

Be aware that the GUI will disconnect once it begins to shut down and will remain on 
this same screen when it is viewed remotely via a browser. It will not show you when 
the R515 has completed the shutdown. Typically a shutdown takes a few minutes. 
 

7-  Login and go to Library > External Folder list then click ‘Open’. A list of DCPs will be 

shown. Select and open required DCP folder, then select DCP file and click Ingest.
