The New Adelphi Facility Panel Network is an open network environment designed for low latency media and control applications. It is an 'air gapped' network, which provides no internet access and is physically independent of the University IT infrastructure.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE FACILITY PANEL NETWORK BE CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSITY IT NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Any attempt to link the two networks will result in the automatic disconnection of the University network port and will be treated severely by IT Services and New Adelphi Technical Management. Devices which speak to both networks must be connected and configured in collaboration with the IT Services network team.
Access
Wired
The network can be accessed from any 8P8C/RJ45 or LC fibre socket fitted to a New Adelphi facility panel. These ports are not necessarily live at all times, so please contact the New Adelphi Technical Managers with the facility panel name (eg. FP) and port number if you need access from a disconnected socket.
If your device supports DHCP, it will be allocated an address. If your device does not support DHCP, or you wish to ensure IP separation from the rest of the network, it is permissible to configure arbitrary addresses under the Class C (192-223.x.x.x) range.
Please do not use the Class A (1-126.x.x.x) IP address range for arbitrary addresses. These are reserved for PanelNet use only.
Wireless
The Atrium, Recording Studios and Screen Acting Studios have wireless access to PanelNet for control data only. The innately low bandwidth and high latency of wireless connections makes this an unsuitable means of connecting for time sensitive audio and video data. The Dante protocol will not communicate at all over a wireless connection.
