ISIS | 5500 Network Zone Configurations

Avid ISIS | 5500 Infrastructure — Direct Connect Clients

ISIS | 5500 Zone 2 Configuration (System Director and Switch 1 Gb Connections)

A single ISIS Engine can connect to a switch using the four Intel Pro 1000 1 Gb Ethernet ports (1, 3, 4, and 6) on

the rear of the Engine. When using a single Engine, that Engine must be configured as the System Director.

Clients access workspaces on the System Director through the Ethernet switch. If any of the four Ethernet port

connections to the switch fails, the Avid ISIS continues to operate. Clients can continue to access workspaces

through the switch even when only one Ethernet port is connected to the System Director. This is not an approved

configuration, but a safeguard if the other Ethernet connections are lost. If you stack or cascade switches, you can

connect up to 90, 1 Gb Ethernet clients.
