Figure 164. Branding Exchange Gateway LAN Configuration
The Deployment/Content Gateway PC is the only machine that has access
to both the House LAN and the Maestro LAN. This configuration will min-
imize the impact to both the house branding element production network
and the Maestro network.
The Content Gateway requires that the configuration of a LAN be 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 (shown in
Figure 165 on page 274 ) as it can be added easily without
opening the PC. This hardware has been tested in a configuration similar to
that illustrated in
Figure 164 .
CAUTION Maestro does NOT support the use of the Spanning tree protocol in network
switches. Using this protocol may inhibit communications between a
Maestro processor and the Deployment PC on board startup, which can
result in hot-swap issues.
