Making Ethernet Connections
with Video Satellite Systems
with Video Satellite Systems
(Video Satellite System Only)
To exchange transport commands and files on
remotely mounted storage, the computers in a
video satellite system communicate via Ethernet
with the standard TCP/IP protocol using
100 Base-T or 1000 Base-T connections. The
computers may either be connected directly or
via a Local Area Network (LAN).

Using a Direct Connection
Use a direct connection for any of these reasons:
• When the satellite will always be connected to
the same Pro Tools system
• When a LAN is not available
• To avoid possible conflicts on the LAN with
other network traffic
To connect the systems directly
1
Connect a CAT5e Ethernet cable between the
Pro Tools system and a standard Ethernet hub or
switch.

2
Connect another CAT5e cable between the
Media Station|PT system and the same hub or
switch.

Using a LAN connection
Use a LAN in any of the following conditions:
• If the video satellite is located in a separate
room from the Pro Tools system
• If more than one Pro Tools system will be con-
necting to the video satellite
• If you want Pro Tools and Media Station|PT
computers on a LAN to access the Internet or
connect to other locations on your network

To connect a video satellite system to a LAN:
1
Connect both systems to a standard 100 Base-
T or 1000-Base-T Ethernet network as you would
any other computer.
any other computer.
By default, both systems communicate via
TCP/IP port 28282, though that can be changed
if necessary.

If you find you need to enter the IP address
after each reboot, try turning off DHCP.
