Catalyst® V3 Media Server User Manual 175
Chapter 21:
Multiple Servers
Catalyst Media Servers can communicate with one another over an Ethernet network.
This function allows the capabilities of synchronizing content across multiple servers,
monitoring remote servers, and sending remote commands to multiple machines.
To connect several servers, power off all servers and run Ethernet cable from each server
to a shared Ethernet hub. To connect only two Media Servers, use a single Ethernet cable
between the Ethernet ports of each system’s PowerMac; no crossover cable is needed.
