Legacy, Supported MEDIArray ZX Configurations

Connecting the MEDIArray ZX to a Unity
MediaNetwork System
The MEDIASwitch connects the MediaNetwork workgroup to several
MediaNetwork clients. The switch allows the MediaNetwork clients to use the
storage simultaneously. The switch prevents work interruptions by allowing
other clients in the workgroup to continue working if one or more clients go
offline.
Avid supports two types of MEDIASwitches:
•
1-Gb MEDIASwitches (in the
Port Layout for 1-Gb MEDIASwitches
figure) which use GBIC connectors to connect the cables to the switch
•
2-Gb MEDIASwitches (see
Port Layout for 2-Gb MEDIASwitches
figure) which use SFP connectors to connect the cables to the switch
