Three different operational modes are available: XNet only, GBE only and a
combined mode GBE + XNet.
Note
An SDTI connection is still required in all modes to access the data.

All the transfers are processed through the XNet.
GBE O
NLY
Transfers for backup, i.e. backup clip, backup train (XStream), and restore
operations are processed through the Ethernet network. However, the following
operations are still performed through the XNet: Publish, Grab, Render Playlist,
and data access. That is the reason why an SDTI connection is still required in
GBE Only mode.

GBE + XN
ET
This combined mode permits the transfers through the XNet when the Gigabit
network is not available, e.g. in case of disconnection of one server from the
Gigabit network.
