Encode servers on two networks

Post by Eriksson »

A question about encode servers and how they connect.
This is the setup: a two screen cinema with Dolby DSS200:s. The site has two separate networks, one internal (Theatre network as Dolby calls it) and one for internet. The internal network is for in house film transfer and remote control of cinema equipment from the box office, internet mainly for online ticket sales and film delivery (and mail, Facebook, surf etc).
There are also a bunch of Windows/Linux computers running DoM, one main machine and several slaves. All these computers have two network cards, one for internet (DHCP) and one for Theatre network (fixed IP). All computers can be controlled remotely over the internet.
Here is my question: how can I tell DoM (on the main machine) to send/recieve work on the Theatre network only? If I look under 'tools/encode servers' all slaves appear on both networks (two IP adresses show up on each slave computer). Obviously the main machine finds the slaves also through the internet switch/router.
What I want to achieve is to have all DoM traffic strictly on the internal network and not disturbing/slowing down the internet.

I think you have to uncheck "Search network for servers" on your main computer and manually assign IP addresses within your theatre network.
