LANserver EX3 Overview
This chapter introduces the Avid Unity LANserver EX3 (LANserver EX3).
The LANserver EX3 is a low-cost alternative to Avid Unity MediaNetwork
that allows you to connect up to 20 Ethernet clients, and up to 6 Fibre Channel
clients with no external storage or up to 5 Fibre Channel clients with external
storage to a LANserver EX3.

Internal changes have been made to the LANserver ZX storage enclosure. The
new LANserver ZX enclosure is functionally the same as far as installation
and use is concerned. Since it is possible that at a later date Avid might find a
need to differentiate between the enclosures, the newer LANserver ZX3
enclosure will have a different Part Number and a sticker located on the upper
right front panel, labeled LEX-3. See the figure labeled,
Front Door Open" on page 21
The LANserver EX3 allows you to add one MEDIArray
ZX3 drive enclosure to expand your storage capacity.
