Chapter 3 Setting Up a PortServer Pro Workgroup

n
A connection to a local area network is required to allow access by
PortServer Pro clients to MediaNetwork workspaces shared by the PortServer
Pro system. Avid does not install, configure, or troubleshoot local area
networks. If you are having trouble with your network, consult your
Information Services department or your network vendor.
Connecting a Single Ethernet Switch
You connect the Ethernet switch to your local area network using the uplink
port of the switch you are using. The uplink port has autosensing capabilities
and will connect to your network at the correct speed. Most one Gigabit ports
provide this function.

If you have multiple PortServer Pro workgroups (and, therefore, multiple
Ethernet switches), skip this section and proceed to
“Cascading Multiple
Ethernet Switches” on page 46 .
To connect a single Ethernet switch to the local area network:
1. Locate a Category 5 copper Ethernet cable.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the uplink port or a 1 Gigabit
port on the front of the Ethernet switch.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a local area network jack or
to the additional Ethernet switch.
Cascading Multiple Ethernet Switches
If you have multiple PortServer Pro workgroups (and, therefore, multiple
Ethernet switches), you can attach them to your local area network using a
single local area network port by cascading the Ethernet switches. See your
local Information Services department or your network vendor to cascade your
switches.
Connecting the Ethernet Switch to the PortServer Pro Clients
You connect a PortServer Pro client to the PortServer Pro workgroup by
connecting the client’s Ethernet 10/100 or 10/100/1000BASE-T port to a
similar port on the Ethernet switch. The instructions in this section are
appropriate for all PortServer Pro clients: Windows and Macintosh.
