1-10 Vertigo XG Configuration Guide

Introduction

Vertigo XG Virus Protection Guidelines

Proper network setup and anti-virus software are key components of any virus protection

strategy. As such, we highly recommend that you adhere to specific rules outlined in this

section to avoid adversely affecting your production equipment’s on-air performance. Our

virus protection strategy, therefore relies on anti-virus software protection combined with

the following:

• Network Setup and Configuration

– A best case scenario for configuring your network

for maximum protection against infection.

• Scheduled Scanning

– In the event that the setup described in “Network Setup and

Configuration” cannot be implemented, this section offers strategies for configuring

anti-virus software and scheduling scans at the optimum times.

• Standard Anti-Virus Protection

– Standard anti-virus practices for machines and

applications not directly used for putting material on-air.

• Institution of Policies

– Policies that all users must follow in order to avoid introducing

infected files into the system.

Network Setup and Configuration

Ideally, the Xmedia Server and other non-critical components should be running anti-virus

software, while the Vertigo XGs reside on a separate network. In such a case, the

Vertigo XGs would not be running anti-virus software, leaving them potentially vulnerable.

Therefore, provide proper protection and minimizing potential performance issues, it is

recommended that restricted access be available by means of switch (see figure 1-5

). It is

also recommended that all other Xmedia equipment would be kept on a separate network

isolated from other machines in the facility.
