Unused network connections are disabled in the above illustration. This not required and
depends on your site policies. Some sites disable all unused NICs.
Using the 1Gb Onboad NICs on the Copy Provider
When using the 1 Gb onboard NIC on the Copy Provider, connect the Pro/1000 PT ports labeled
2 and 4 on the Copy Provider directly into any 1 Gb port on the Avid ISIS Engines. Connect the
Copy Provider to both Avid ISIS systems. Avid does not recommend using the onboard NICs
because performance is better using the Myricom cards.

The silkscreen labels on the back of the AS3000 identify the Pro/1000 PT ports as 2 and 4. When
you look at the ports in the Network Connections software interface, the two ports are listed as 2
and 3. The above illustration shows how the ports are listed via the Network Connections
interface. When you make the physical connection, use the ports labeled 2 and 4 on the back of
the AS3000.
Copy Provider ISIS Configurations
Each ISIS Engine (also known as an ISIS chassis) supports a maximum of two Copy Providers:
• One for sending material to a remote workgroup
• One for receiving material from a remote workgroup
If you have multiple ISIS chassis in your workgroup, you can set up multiple sending and
receiving providers.
The following illustration shows Copy Providers configured between two workgroups.
