Network Engineer

• Configured Extreme 8810 switches used for NBC.
• Carried out tests to verify if (a) Scavenger can connect to a NEXIO server in a situation where both scavenger and encoder are on different subnets, (b) Pilot manager can connect to a pilot agent in a situation where both pilot manager and pilot agent are on different subnets and (c) News Flash Preditor (NFP) Encoder can connect to a NEXIO server in a situation where both the NEXIO server and News Flash Preditor (NFP) encoder are on different subnets.
• Carried out tests to prove that there cannot be 2 gateways connected to a PC at the same time. If done, then packets sent will be directed to house LAN through its gateway instead of going to the server. So in order to obtain communication between 2 devices, the house LAN connection in the PC must be disabled. Also the connection between the server and PC is not permanent; it gets terminated automatically.
• Performed CPU testing on NEXIO servers 3600 and 3602.
