Arcadia: Simple System setup with IPTs
Without a DHCP server, the Arcadia base and IPTs will default to link-local addresses compatible with the base and endpoints for an easy out-of-the-box initial network experience and to confirm staging confidence.
However, we recommend not operating with link-local addresses in permanent or long-term productions.
Clear-Com advises that for any installation, regardless of size, you have an IP network engineer available on-site from either your company or the Ethernet switch supplier. This engineer can review the network topology and network switch selection during the pre-sales phase and configure the switch during the installation period. Ensure your selected Ethernet switch meets the minimum requirements for AES67.
Network Switches That DO and DO NOT Work with Clear-Com AES67 / ST2110-30 Equipment
Clear-Com strongly recommends you place FSII IP antenna traffic (or any other AES67 traffic) onto their own set of separate network switches
Configure a DHCP server (or statically assign IP addresses).
Set the Arcadia management LAN and AES67 LAN to have static IP address. Do not use 169.254.xx.xx IP addresses
The IPTs will use static IP address or DHCP (two IP addresses needed per IPT or panel). Do not use 169.254.xx.xx IP address
