Example 3: Routed Network Configuration

NOTE: It is immaterial, in this example, which codec is the encoder and which is the decoder. These functions are not identified in figure 8.

Figure 8 shows an example of a routed network configuration. Codec 1 is configured as the controller, via LAN port 2.

The two codecs are connected across a wide area network (WAN) via an external router.

Network 1, connected to LAN port 1 (RJ-45 port), the “green” network — This network is separated from the streaming network. This is the primary network for system control and monitoring.

Network 2, connected to LAN port 2 (the fiber optic port), the “red” network — The encoder streams video on this network and it can also used for system control and monitoring if desired.

NOTE: Selection of this network for streaming is via the built-in HTML network

interface. This selection is defined in the management interface, described

later (see “Configure Encoders or Decoders“).

The gateway IP addresses (the addresses on both sides of the router on the red network) is set on LAN port 2 (configuration option 14) for both codecs.

This architecture provides isolation between the video transport and simple network management protocol (SNMP) traffic.

NOTE: The SNMP protocol includes a system of SNMP trap messages. SNMP trap

messages can be initiated by a network element and sent to the network management system.
