3.4.2 Constraints
Connection to the Web Interface
Users can theoretically connect to the web interface of the GX server using the IP
addresses of both ports. If a GigE port is exclusively dedicated to the communication with
EVS video servers, the IP address of the second GigE port must be used for the remote
connection to the web interface.
Discovery of EVS Servers
The XT Network Discovery Port parameter, in the Server Control window, specifies
which of both GigE ports is used to discover the EVS servers.
The GigE port of the GX server used for discovery must be on the same subnet as the
PC LAN IP addresses of the EVS servers.
Tranfer of Video Material
The IP addresses of the EVS servers' GigE port to be used for video transfer are
transferred as the GX server discovers the EVS servers.
The GigE port of the GX server used for video transfer must be on the same subnet as
the GigE IP addresses of the EVS servers.
3.4.3 Typical Configurations
Taking the constraints into account, many configurations are possible, but the following
ones are the most typical:
Single Port
In the first configuration, a single GigE port is used. The IP address of the GX server
GigE port is set as to be on the same subnet as the PC LAN IP address and GigE IP
address of the EVS servers.
Two Ports, Same Subnet for PC LAN and Gigabit Ports
In the second configuration, both GigE ports are used, and the PC LAN and GigE IP
address of the EVS servers are on the same subnet:
• Port 1 of the GX server is used for the remote connection to the GX server.
• Port 2 of the GX server is used for the connection to the network of EVS servers.
