Control network description
The control network is for communication between devices and components. It does not have
real-time media traffic or streaming/FTP media traffic. The control network must be on a different
subnet than the streaming/FTP network and the Media (iSCSI) network. Static IP addresses with
name resolution via host files are recommended for the control network.
