EVS Xeebra User Manual

2.Requirements
2.1. NetworkRequirements
The Xeebraclient workstation and the Xeebra server hardware need to be connected by a 1 GB link
(RJ45). When the Xeebra server is connected to 3 clients, or 2 clients with 2 screens, it is necessary to
team 2 x 1GBRJ45 cables to double the bandwidth between the client and the server. These links can
pass through a switch or be a direct connection.
Type of Link
The type of link to use depends on the distance between the client and server:
• When the distance between the client and the server hardware is smaller than 80m, a standard Cat 6
network cable is enough.
• When the distance is greater than 80, the connection must go over a fiber link.
This can be achieved by extending the Cat 6 cable with fiber media converters, or by ordering the
SFP+ Fiber option on the client and/or the server.
Type of Switch
When choosing a switch, the following recommendations should be followed:
1 server 2 servers 3 servers
Clients hosted on
