Important network considerations

Power outage and surge protection

We recommend the use of an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect against power
outages. We also recommend the use of a power surge protection device, such as a Surge-X
(http://www.surgex.com). This provides protection from destructive spikes, surges and
inductive transients.

Software versions

The information in this manual is written for a specific software version. The version number
is included in the first three digits of the manual version number.
Note: To reduce the risk of compatibility problems, we recommend that all the hardware
devices (NioNodes, nControl nodes etc.) on the network run the same firmware version, and
that the version matches the version of NWare you are running.
Each version of NWare includes firmware for all the MediaMatrix hardware devices it
supports.
You can download the latest software and earlier versions of software from
http://mm.peavey.com/downloads/index.cfm (http://mm.peavey.com/downloads/index.cfm).
