Avid S6 on separate network?
I'm trying to sort out some issues in a Dolby Atmos mixing room. Long story short, we have been advised to separate the S6 on its own network. As of now, the S6 MTM provides DHCP from Port 2 to all devices on the network which consist of 3 Macs running Pro Tools (2 players and 1 recorder), a MADI switcher, DAD AX32 and the Dolby RMU, in addition to the 14 or so modules in the S6 frame. I'm not sure how to separate the S6 network the correct way. Can I just buy a router to provide DHCP to everything besides the S6, and connect the S6 to a separate NIC on the Macs? If so, how would I configure the network control panel settings for the NIC used for connecting to the S6?

Re: Avid S6 on separate network?
Greetings,
Once you span into serving multiple workstations plus MTRX / AX32 I would highly recommend procuring a qualified external router instead of relying on the console DHCP server to feed addresses. If for some reason the console needs to go down or be restarted, your AX32 and RMU are going to lose IP's which is not ideal. Here are the specific models that we recommend: https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...-Compatibility Secondly, yes you can start to add additional networks based on your use case for EUCON, IP Audio, Shared Storage, etc. Even if the EUCON network is independent of the AX32 / IP Audio network - DADman and your monitor profile will still be visible to the monitor section of the console. best, Jeff |

Re: Avid S6 on separate network?
Yes, it is best practices to isolate EUCON from other networks like Dante IP and LAN which may have higher traffic with file transfers.
There are several ways to approach this. You could keep the S6 / EUCON network separate on its own workstation NIC and still use the DHCP server from the Master Module, then have a router for AX32 Management + IP Audio for example. You could also have two independent routers - one of EUCON and one for Dante -> both connected to different NICs on the workstation. You could also setup VLANS for each of the different networking tasks within the room / facility. While it is possible to simply dump all EUCON, DADman, Dante + file transfers onto the same network it is not recommended. best, Jeff |
