IP Addressing Strategies When Connecting to a Network
If your Nearchive Base Server and Ethernet clients are connected to your in-house network,
the Nearchive Base Server and each client must be properly configured with a unique, valid
IP address and subnet mask.
Your site network administrator should determine how best to allocate IP addresses for
systems on your in-house network, keeping in mind the following:
• You must assign a static IP address to the Gigabit Ethernet adapter on the Nearchive
Base Server — the TransferManager servers are configured to locate the Nearchive Base
Server using this address.
• However you assign the Avid IP addresses, the Nearchive Base Server and all
TransferManager servers should have addresses in the same subnet. This eliminates
transfers over a router, which would adversely affect transfer speeds.
