Networking
Every Kore comes with at least 2 network card :
- One card dedicated to the
NaoNet
network. - One card or more dedicated to the communication with third party systems, and to connect the Kore to the Internet.
The Kore's network card dedicated to NaoNet
is the 10GbE card named "Aquantia Ethernet".
NaoNet network
NaoNet is the network used by the K SYSTEM framework for the communication between the different Naostage's products. It uses the subnet 192.168.12.XXX/24
.
Every Kore and Kapta have a fixed IP address on this network, depending on their serial number. For example :
- the Kapta with the serial number
NS1-XXXX0012
will have the IP address192.168.12.112/24
. - the Kore with the serial number
NS2-XXXX0018
will have the IP address192.168.12.218/24
by default.
BeaKon network
To communicate with the anchors of a BeaKon system, one needs to setup the IP address 10.8.4.1/22
to the NaoNet
dedicated network card. The anchors need to be connected to the Kore via this network card.
