Overview
Installing and Configuring Secondary NIC in Applause Media System Site Server
Appendix F – Installing and Configuring Secondary
NIC in Applause Media System Site
Server
This section provides instructions to install and configure a secondary NIC in the Applause
Media System Site Server.
Overview
Some site LAN configurations may require the installation of a secondary NIC to separate the
forecourt LAN from the rest of the store LAN, and allow only the Applause Media System
Site Server to connect to the store LAN. The primary NIC is configured to be on the forecourt
LAN (10.5.48.X by default), and the secondary NIC is configured to be on the store LAN. The
disable routing between NICs
option can be turned on to prevent any traffic from the
forecourt LAN from reaching the store LAN. The Applause Media System Site Server is still
able to connect through the store LAN to the Internet, since its secondary NIC is on the store
LAN.
Additional Information
It is not necessary to reimage the Applause Media System Site Server to complete installation
of a secondary NIC. If a server with a secondary NIC installed requires reimaging, the
secondary NIC must be disconnected prior to reimaging and reconnected once the reimage is
complete.
Required Equipment
Following equipment is required to install and configure a secondary NIC in the Applause
Media System Site Server:
• Gilbarco Site Server (PA03580003)
• 10/100 Base-T Network Interface Card (M08507B014)
