Web Interface - 'Device Settings' (e.g. NSA-003A)

Network

Port

Illustration of the corresponding network connection MGNT, ETH 1 and ETH 2.

Daisy Chain

NSA devices have an internal Ethernet switch that can be activated via this setting. When Daisy Chain is enabled, one of the two media ports (ETH1 or ETH2) can be used to connect another device for chaining the network. The NSA's internal switch supports RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) for creating network ring topologies.

DHCP

If DHCP client mode is selected and the Ethernet port is connected to a network with an active DHCP server, the device attempts to obtain a dynamic IP address automatically. If no server is available, the device assigns a unique link-local address (ZeroConf) to the port itself.
The IP parameters obtained are displayed for this port.
If DHCP mode is deactivated, the IP parameters are set by the user.

IP-Address

Depending on the DHCP function set:
DHCP inactive: Set the IP address for this Ethernet interface.
DHCP active: Displays the automatically negotiated value.

Network Mask

Depending on the DHCP function set:
DHCP inaktiv: Specify the subnet mask that divides the IP address range between the host network and the network addresses.
DHCP aktiv: Displays the automatically negotiated value.

Default Gateway

Depending on the DHCP function set:
DHCP inaktiv: Set the IP address of the gateway.
DHCP aktiv: Displays the automatically negotiated value.

Media/PTP

Specifies which of the two Media Ports (ETH1/ETH2) the NSA expects media and PTP data on. If Media/PTP is enabled on both Media Ports, the NSA operates in SMPTE 2022-7 mode, supporting hitless merge redundant networks.
If an NSA is configured in Riedel Artist-1024, this setting also determines which interfaces are used for the connection to Artist-1024.

Web UI

Specifies which interface(s) can be used to access the NSA's web user interface.

NMOS

Specifies which interface the device uses to access the NMOS register and communicate with other IS-04/05/07/08 APIs.

PTP

The PTP section is only available for the NSA types NSA-003A and NSA-006A.

Domain

Set the same domain number for the PTP clock available in the network. Permissible values are between 0 and 127, whereby the default value is 0.

Hybrid Mode

Set the PTP network packet transmission mode.

Inactive: All messages are sent and received via multicast messages between the device and the TimeTransmitter.

Active: Messages from the devices are sent to the grandmaster via unicast messages and the grandmaster publishes the messages via multicast.

Time Receiver only

Forces the use of an external grandmaster.

Status

Displays the current PTP status. TimeReceiverLocked, TimerReceiverUnlocked, TimeTransmitter

NMOS - Interface

Port

Field for configuring the port on which the NSA expects the NMOS messages. The default value is 4450.

IS-04 (V1.x)

Field for configuring the IS-04 version in which the NMOS messages to the NSA are expected.

NMOS - Registration

Registration Mode

Future function (only Manual mode is currently supported).

IP-Address

Field for configuring the IP address via which the NSA accesses the NMOS registry.

Port

Field for configuring the port via which the NSA accesses the NMOS registry. The default value is 4450.

NMOS Version

Field for configuring the IS-04 version in which the NSA accesses the NOMOS registry. The default selection is V1.3.

Enable Access for Standard Users

The logged-in admin can define which functions are available to users who are not logged in.

Audio

Sample Rate

Selection of the sample rate. A change requires a restart of the device. (44.1, 48, 96 kHz, not available for NSA-010C)

Reference Level*4-5-6-7A

Selection of the analog reference level of the device.
(12, 15, 18, 22, 24 dBu)

Auto Trim Time*4-6-7A

The time in which the automatic trimmer measures the input signal to determine the automatically set target trim level.
(3 ... 30 seconds)

Auto Trim Target Lvl*4-6-7A

Target level to be reached by the auto trim function after automatically adjusting the trim gain after measuring.
(-24 ... 0 dBFS in half dB steps)

E.g. the peak level which was measured during auto trim was -40 dBFS, the Auto Trim Target is set to -10 dBFS, so the auto trim function will set the Trim Gain up by 30 dB right after the measurement period.

*4-5-6-7A only for NSA-004A, NSA-005A, NSA-006A, NSA-007A
*4-6-7A only for NSA-004A, NSA-006A, NSA-007A

Miscellaneous

Disable
Status LEDs

If this option is enabled, all status LEDs of the device except for the network LEDs (MGNT, ETH 1, and ETH 2) are switched off.

Disable
Network LEDs

If this option is activated, the network LEDs (MGNT, ETH 1 and ETH 2) on the back of the device are switched off.

Device

Reboot
