MediaFrame stage
Configure K2 MDIs
This page configures the Managed Device Interface (MDI) for a stand-alone K2
Media Client or the one K2 Media Client on a K2 Storage System (SAN).
MediaFrame depends on the K2 MDI to make K2 assets visible across the system.
As you configure the K2 MDI make sure that you associate the K2 MDI and K2 host
names correctly.
Multiple K2 MDIs run on a single machine (the MDI Server), but they each need their
own process port number. For this purpose, enter incrementing numbers 9160 - 9169
in the “Port” field. The MDIs and their port numbers must match settings as in
“Configure Media Frame ASK: Register components” on page 54 . To make the
configurations easier to read for troubleshooting purposes, add MDIs sequentially so
there is a correlation between the port number and any number in the MDI name.
For K2 systems, add transfer targets as follows:
• For a K2 Storage System (SAN), the hostname of a K2 Media Server that has the
role of FTP server.
• For a stand-alone K2 Media Client, the hostname of the K2 Media Client
• Hostname of an Aurora FTP server. This is required for Aurora Transfer to support
K2/Aurora transfers.
