Network Addressing Since the Licensing program uses specific classes of IP addresses, you must

enter valid IP Address and Subnet mask values or the licensing server will not

function. In particular, IP addresses in the Private Address Space cannot be

used unless the Avid|DS RP station and the License server (client workstation)

are on the same side of their network router.

Refer to your system administrator or networking documents for more details.

Network Hardware

and Remote Processing

Performance

To optimize your network hardware and the performance of remote processing:

• The recommended minimum speed of your network card is 100 Mbps full

duplex as this speed matches that of the client workstation. Gigabit Ethernet

is better, but you would need to upgrade the client workstation as well.

• A network switch is the best way to isolate the remote processing traffic

from the rest of a corporate network. We recommend a minimum

bandwidth of 100 Mbps and full duplex capability, however, a gigabit

switch is preferable. For the highest quality components, purchase brand

name products, such as 3Com, Cisco, etc.

• Use 24AGW gauge network cable (category 5 and up). Connectors must be

assembled properly, with a minimal length of unshielded wire on both ends.

The TCP/IP network protocol must always appear at the top of the

list of protocols.

Hubs are not recommended.
