BitStorm Server functional components
The BitStorm Server unit has the following functional components:
• two Ethernet 10Base-T network interface cards (ETH 0 and ETH 1)
• two RS-232 serial ports (COM1 and COM2)
• 110/120 V AC power connector
• monitor and keyboard connectors
Site Manager network and YesWare-VBN interfaces - ETH 0 and ETH 1
The two Ethernet 10/100 Base-T network interface cards (NICs) in the
BitStorm Server (ETH 0 and ETH 1) provide the connectivity for the
YesWare-VBN to access the Internet through a host network. The ETH 0
interface connects the BitStorm Server to the Site Manager host network. The
ETH 1 interface connects visitors on YesWare’s Visitor-Based Network
(VBN) to the BitStorm Server for access to YesWare services.
Figure 3-2 on page 3-3 shows the component connections on the back of the
BitStorm Server unit. Table 3-1 on page 3-3 describes the function of each
