Older Model RS-422

Adapter

Older KUMO routers (serial numbers ending in -R0) needed an RS-422 adapter for proper

serial control operation. This adapter was shipped with those older model routers. Be

aware of this fact if your facility has a mixture of older and newer KUMO routers that use

RS-422 control.

Figure 2. RS-422 Adapter

NOTE: Only KUMO routers with a serial number ending in -R0 require this adapter. KUMO routers

with serial numbers ending in -R1 do NOT require the adapter.

KUMO Control and Monitoring

The KUMO router user-interface provides powerful remote setup, control, and

monitoring with:

• Zero-configuration Bonjour Protocol and support for UPnP networking protocols

• Remote web browser control interface via Ethernet

• Optional push-button remote KUMO CP control panel for control of up to four KUMO

routers

• GVG Native Protocol built-in to allow serial or LAN interconnection (one RS-422 or up to

ten Ethernet) and interoperability with other equipment. Specifically, Kumo can be

controlled by the SMS 7000 portion of the GVG Native Protocol. For details, refer to:

“GVG Native Protocol Support” on page 49. Also refer to Grass Valley documentation at:

Network Configuration Overview

KUMO’s internal HTTP networking software supports three levels of network control:

• Closed KUMO network – uses Bonjour

• Auto Configured LAN – employs a Bonjour or UPnP enabled computer/browser to

automatically connect devices and allows KUMO web browser User Interface (UI).

• Standard TCP-IP network – employs DHCP or Static IP addressing and allows the KUMO

web-based UI and an unlimited number of KUMO routers and up to 16 KUMO CP

control panels.

Direct Connection In a direct connection, the control computer (Mac /PC) or a KUMO CP control panel

connects to a KUMO router using an Ethernet cable (cat 5) between the RJ45 connectors

on both devices.
