Networking the MediaNetwork
Clients
You can connect your Windows Fibre Channel client to an Ethernet network
so it can share project information with other MediaNetwork clients. You can
also use the network connection to allow TransferManager and
MediaManager to move and control your video media, graphics and effects,
audio media, and finishing materials.

An Ethernet network is not required for Windows clients. Avid does not install,

Avid does install and configure Windows clients that communicate over

1000BASE-T. The client must be properly configured with a valid IP address
and a subnet mask.
