ES9600 User Guide Chapter 4: Player Interface -Web
43 Version 1.13
Networking - Ethernet
The 9600 support two (2) Ethernet network connections (two unique IP addresses). This feature is very useful as a
single unit can be deployed within two independent networks.
For example the player could be incorporated into a theater system where one network connection is used for a
show control subnet and the other network connection used as the main interface for content delivery. A network
administrator may place an external firewall in front of the ES9600 to enable content management and prevent
actual transport functions of the unit. This configuration would allow remote content upload by a contract
advertiser or sponsor without need for involvement of the installation IT management personnel after initial
configuration. The final configuration of the Player in a dual-network application will depend on the needs of the
specific situation and will be determined by the user’s IT administration.
Refer to Appendix A: TCP/IP Communications - for more information.
