Configure MediaFrame components
Configure K2 MDIs
This page configures the Managed Device Interface (MDI) for a stand-alone K2
Media Client or one of the K2 Media Servers on a K2 Storage System. MediaFrame
depends on the K2 MDI to make K2 assets visible across the system.
As you configure the K2 MDI make sure that you associate the K2 MDI and K2 host
names correctly.
Multiple K2 MDIs run on a single machine (the Transfer Server), but they each need
their own process port number. For this purpose, enter incrementing numbers 9160 -
9169 in the “Port” field. The MDIs and their port numbers must match settings as in
“Configure Media Frame ASK: Register components” on page 26 . To make the
configurations easier to read for troubleshooting purposes, add MDIs sequentially so
there is a correlation between the port number and any number in the MDI name.
For K2 systems, add transfer targets as follows:
• For a K2 Storage System (SAN), the hostname of a K2 Media Server that has the
role of FTP server.
• For a stand-alone K2 Media Client, the hostname of the K2 Media Client
• Hostname of a Aurora FTP server. This is required for the Aurora Transfer
application to support Aurora/News transfers.
