 If DreamCatcher and it‟s Controller need to interact with other infrastructure equipment (i.e. routers,
production switchers and engineering PCs) add a second 1G Ethernet switch. This infrastructure
network is generally used to communicate with Routers, Production Switches and Engineering PCs.
 Connect Ethernet 1 on DreamCatcher to the 1G Infrastructure switch.
 Connect Ethernet B/1 on the Controller to the 1G Infrastructure switch.

Required equipment:
 2 or more DreamCatcher Servers
 2 or more DreamCatcher Controllers
 1G Network Switch (Control Network)
 10G Network Switch
 Optional 1G Network Switch (Infrastructure Network)
Procedure:
 Use Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-5 as reference.
 Connect Ethernet 0 on all DreamCatcher servers to the 1G DreamCatcher Control Switch.
 Connect Ethernet A/0 on all DreamCatcher controllers to the 1G DreamCatcher Control Switch.
 Connect Ethernet 2 on all DreamCatcher Servers to the IPX 10G switch.
 If you are distributing only 2 DreamCatcher Servers it is possible to connect the servers directly over
the Ethernet 2 10G port.
