Chapter 1 Product Description
The optional NH1-10GE K2 Media Server is available to provide additional FTP
bandwidth. This server has a ten Gigabit connection to the Ethernet switch. If the
optional NH server is used, all FTP traffic goes to this server, so neither GS K2 Media
Server is cabled or configured for FTP.
The controller in the L30 RAID chassis has the four optional Fibre Channel expansion
ports installed, making a total of six Fibre Channel ports on the controller. This allows
the controller to act in a limited way as a Fibre Channel switch. Two ports connect the
GS K2 Media Servers and one port connects the optional NH1-10GE K2 Media
Server. The remaining three ports are unused. The L30 RAID chassis is also
connected to the GigE control network, which is required for SNMP (NetCentral)
monitoring.
The K2 configuration control point PC is connected to the GigE control network. The
K2 System Configuration application runs on this PC for configuring the SAN.
FTP/streaming traffic accesses the K2 SAN via the FTP GigE port on K2 Media
Servers. FTP/streaming traffic does not go to K2 clients.
