Installing the Content Gateway
Note
The LAN configuration in
is an example only. Please note that the
installation and configuration of the Content Gateway and the interfaces
between the Branding Element Production LAN and the Content Gateway
uses customer-supplied equipment which is not included with Maestro or the
Branding Engine hardware.
In order to minimize the impact to both the house branding element pro-
duction network and the Maestro network, the Deployment/Content
Gateway PC is the only machine that has access to both the Branding
Element Production LAN and the Maestro LAN.
The Content Gateway require the configuration of a LAN separate from the
Maestro Facility and Control LANs. If the GUI control panel is also
installed on the Deployment PC, it will be necessary to add a third Network
Interface Card (NIC) to the Deployment PC/Content Gateway in order for
the Branding Element Production LAN to have access to the Content
Gateway for storing branding elements.
Note
For simplicity, Grass Valley recommends the Belkin Gigabit USB 2.0 Network
Adapter (Belkin part number F5D5055 shown in
) as it can be added
easily without opening the PC. This hardware has been tested in a configura-
tion similar to that illustrated in
.

The VPN firewall protects the Deployment PC (or other PCs) on which the
Content Gateway resides and the Maestro LAN from unauthorized local or
remote access.
Note

Appliance (3COM part number 3CREVF100-73). This hardware has been
tested in a configuration similar to that illustrated in

WAN ports and six (6) LAN ports as illustrated in
