Media Application Server Installation
Network Connection - All MAS Systems
1-30 STRATA CIX MAS INSTALLATION 06/09
Network Connection - All MAS Systems
The MAS requires a static IP Address. The MAS and the CIX processor card (xCTU) should be in
the same network segment. The MIPU/LIPU address must be assigned so that it can be pinged by
the MAS.
The MIPU/LIPU card IP Address must be accessible by all IP devices (IPT, MAS). If IPT stations
are going to be placed on the public internet, or Strata Net IP will be run on the public network
without a VPN the MIPU/LIPU should have a public IP address.
The MAS and CIX must be physically installed first. Mount the MAS in the rack. Insert the circuit
cards into the CIX cabinets. Connect the IP cables. When all of the cables are connected power up
the system and proceed to the MAS Software Setup.
Software
The MAS is shipped with the application software loaded. Product and service licenses will be
downloaded from FYI.
Refer to the Toshiba CIX Programming Manual Vol. 1.
The pre-loaded software should never need to be loaded. In the event this becomes necessary the
MAS recovery CD-ROM set, included with the server will be used.
Important!
Installation of any software not approved by Toshiba will void the warranty.
Refer to “Approved Third Party Application Software” on page 1-31.
Windows XP Firewall Settings
The MAS runs on the Windows XP Professional operating system. Windows XP includes an
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). When installing the MAS consider the configuration of the
network and how the MAS will be accessed. Changes to the ICF may be required. Considerations
include:
• Will the MAS be accessed using remote desktop or will and keyboard, monitor and mouse
connected to the MAS be the only direct access?
• Will the MAS be addressable via the internet?
