About media server port connections
The following section explains how to connect the Ethernet ports on the back of the media
server.

the S8500 Media Server has only one port network, connect that port network through the dual
NIC. Figure 7: S8500B Media Server connectivity guide
shows typical connectivity for the
S8500B Media Server. Figure 8:
S8500C Media Server connectivity guide on page 20 shows
typical connectivity for the S8500C Media Server.
