3. Getting startedBarco – Argus X Terminal – DOC-3265-2 – user's manual – Revision 06 – February-2005 ___________________________________________________________________ 3-213.2.11 NetworkNetwork adaptersWith A RGUS the following network adapters are available: The onboard LAN adapter on the mainboard, theEthernet Card 100 Mbps as well as the Ethernet Card 1000 Mbps. These adapters are used to connect the A RGUSP ROCESSOR to the LAN (local area network) and to connect central device and rendering machines to the sub-net.The onboard LAN adapter and the Ethernet Card 1000 Mbps have the ability to establish a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or1000 Mbps connection. The Ethernet Card 100 Mbps has the ability to establish a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connec-tion.The sub-net connection is established via a Gigabit Ethernet Switch, see section 3.2.12 Distributed system.Redundant network connectionFor a redundant connection to the LAN the Ethernet Card 100 Mbps as well as the Ethernet Card 1000 Mbps arealso available as server adapters, allowing to configure them in teaming mode, sharing one single IP-address. Onthe label on the card is indicated whether a network card is of server or desktop type. Please refer also to section6.1.7 Redundant network adapter for more information.ModelsFor the different applications the network cards are delivered in different models.• To connect an Argus Processor to the LANEthernet Card 100 MbpsEthernet Card 1000 MbpsOnboard LAN AdapterIn a distributed system the rendering machines are booted via the sub-net by means of packetssent by the central device. Therefore the network adapter in the rendering machines must be ca-pable to boot via a network. For the A RGUS-system there exist two different possibilities to achievethis. It depends on the hardware that is used in your A RGUS-system, which one of these two meth-ods is used.Former systems used special rendering Ethernet cards that carry Etherboot code which requests theneeded boot packets as soon as the central device is booted. With A RGUS models RSAGS33282 andfrom X server release 3.48 on no special rendering Ethernet cards are needed any longer (anyhowthe usage of these cards remains supported). Instead PXE (the Pre-eXecution Environment) is used.For reliable function of this mechanism it is necessary that wake on LAN (WOL) is configured in theserver configuration (see section 3.4.3 Configuring a distributed system) and that WOL is also enabled inthe BIOS of the mainboard of the respective rendering machines (see section 6.1.9 BIOS settings forWake On LAN)• To connect an Argus Processor machine to the sub-netEthernet Card 100 MbpsEthernet Card 1000 Mbps• To connect an Argus rendering machine to the sub-net using PXEEthernet Card 100 MbpsEthernet Card 1000 MbpsOnboard LAN Adapter• To connect an Argus rendering machine to the sub-net using EtherbootEthernet Card 100 Mbps, renderingEthernet Card 1000 Mbps, rendering |
