Setting up a simple video network: Fibre Channel
The Fibre Channel video network option provides a 1Gbs Fibre Channel interface for
high speed transfer of video clips among devices connected to the network. Network
devices can include Profiles or Profile XP systems, near-on-line video servers, and video
archive systems to name a few. Use the procedures in this section to set up your
Profile XP systems on a Fibre Channel video network.
Here is a list of the steps you will perform:
• Set up the Windows NT Ethernet network
• Configure Fibre Channel network settings on each Profile XP
• Manually Edit the hosts file on each Profile XP
• Power-down and connect proper Fibre Channel cabling
• Power-on the switch and configure if necessary
• Test the Fibre Channel network using Media Manager
NOTE: To communicate across the network, all Fibre Channel machines should
have Profile system software version 2.5 installed.
Set up the Windows NT Ethernet network
When setting up the Fibre Channel network, you must first set up the Windows NT
Ethernet network. Use the procedure found on page 266, Setting up a simple Windows
NT network, then continue with Configure Fibre Channel network settings on each
Profile XP on page 271.
