Connecting Network Cables
Depending on the type of network you have, and the type of storage system
you’ve chosen to use, you have different boards in your NewsroomSuite
system.
Ethernet Connection
If you are using a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system, you are using a
Gigabit ethernet connection.
To connect an ethernet switch to the NewsroomSuite computer:
• Plug the end of the RJ45 cable into the Gigabit port on the back of the
NewsroomSuite computer and the other end into your ethernet switch.
Fibre Channel Connection
If you are using a Profile Media Server as part of your NewsroomSuite system,
or creating a shared storage system with an Open SAN network, you are using
fibre channel connections. You may have a single- or dual-port fibre channel
board.
To connect a fibre channel switch to the NewsroomSuite computer:
• Plug the ends of the network cable into the
TX
and
RX
connectors on the back
of the NewsroomSuite computer and the other ends into your fibre channel
switch.
