11 Configuring the Perle IOLAN Server
Avid iNEWS Command supports 422 serial connection via the Perle IOLAN TCP/Serial
port server, which must be purchased separately from Command.
n
This is the only supported means of 422 communication with Windows 2008 and Windows 7.
See the Avid iNEWS Command ReadMe for latest supported versions of IOLAN software.
Additionally, the IOLAN server supports full VDCP redundancy. In earlier versions of
Command, mirrored channel configuration was required as a means for achieving VDCP
redundancy.
Like the setup for the AirSpeed (classic) device service, the Video device service is installed
on the primary and backup Command Servers, and when the primary server fails, the VDS
on the backup server assumes control of the VDCP channels as part of the Command
failover process.
