IP Addressing Overview
Before you attempt to define a total IP addressing scheme for your system and configure the
static internal IP addresses of the engine, you should have a solid understanding of how the
addresses are assigned within the engine and how the IP addresses increment between engines.

192.168.10.10 and 192.168.20.10, subnet 10 and subnet 20, are used by Avid as examples
throughout this document, your site might require different addresses. Consult with your site’s
networking managers for site specific requirements. Unless specified, you can change the
addresses used in the following example to suit your needs. However, whichever static IP
addresses are assigned within the engine, they must not be assigned by a DHCP server to any
other device within the Network.
