RNA Series - Network

The RNA utilizes standard IP network infrastructure and protocols for data transport.  Standard IP networking eliminates the need for proprietary equipment that greatly increases system flexibility and scalability while reducing cost.

The RNA’s dual SFP+ media ports provide ultimate flexibility in network architecture design to meet system operational and security requirements.  The ports may be aggregated to maximize data throughput, or they may be connected to separate networks to support data segregation or failover purposes.  Specific network topologies supported include

• Direct Attach - KVM Extender

Media ports may be connected from the RNA encoder directly to the RNA decoder with no network switch required.

• Aggregate / Failover Operation

Media streams are distributed in the same media network (one subnet) between the RNA’s. All the network bandwidth of both media ports can be utilized for aggregation or fail over

• Separate Network Operation

Media streams can be distributed over two separate media networks (two different subnets) between the RNA’s

• Active Backup Operation

Both physical media network ports are exposed as one media port to the network switch. In case the active connection to one of the network ports breaks down the streaming will continue over the other port that still has connection
