5.) Use of embedded NIC ports for ISIS connectivity Important Information
The Z820 has two embedded NIC ports. One port is the 82574L. The 82574L port is qualified for ISIS and should be used
for single Gb connectivity to ISIS 5000 / 7000. The 82574L port is the port directly above the Firewire port. The other
embedded NIC port is an 82579LM. The 82579LM will not work with ISIS and should never be connected to either ISIS 5000
or 7000. The 82759LM port is marked with the letters AMT and is adjacent to the blue and green audio jacks.
Embedded Intel network interface for ISIS connectivity:
For proper operation and connectivity of the Intel 82574L network interface with ISIS the following settings are required:
1. For the Intel 82574L driver, under the performance settings, change the following parameters:
- Receive Buffers to 1024
- Transmit Buffers to 1024
2. Disable the windows firewall.
6.) Utilization of the Z820 embedded (on-board) 1394 ports for Camera / Deck / Disk Drive support
Media Composer / Symphony 6.0 and NewsCutter 10 do not support Avid 1394 hardware such as Adrenaline and
1394 Mojo-SDI. This simplifies utilization of the Z820 embedded 1394 ports. The embedded 1394 ports can and should be used
for all 1394 Camera / Deck / Disk Drive connectivity for all configurations running Media Composer / Symphony 6.0 and
NewsCutter 10.
Use the embedded Intel 82574L
network interface for single Gb ISIS
5000 / 70000 connectivity.
Do not use the embedded Intel
82579LM network interface for any
ISIS connectivity.
