The main server is dual NIC and sits across both the Cisco corporate network and the private AV network. In that way, any computer on Cisco's world network can see and activate the commands of that center if it is authorized to do so, without the AV components themselves being exposed to the network and the security issue. Every device in the facility can be controlled from any computer in the building. It's not a wide-open arrangement, but it can be flexibly configured in any way.
