Installing the Content Gateway
Note For simplicity, Grass Valley recommends the Belkin Gigabit USB 2.0 Network
Adapter (shown in
Figure 243 ) as it can be added easily without opening the
PC. This hardware has been tested in a configuration 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.

Appliance. This hardware has been tested in a configuration similar to that
illustrated in
Figure 242 .
The 3COM OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall Appliance has two (2)
WAN ports and six (6) LAN ports as illustrated in
