You can do it yourself if you know a bit about computer networking.
You should use a 1000baseT gigabit ethernet switch and cable, 100baseT will work fine but content transfers will be pretty slow (slow like USB ingest).
If you're unsure of the process, get a local computer shop with networking experience to help.
You will need the Doremi server root password.
Server network configuration and setting up the servers for ingest, once the systems are networked, is covered in the Doremi manual.
Don't change the settings on the server ethernet port that's already in use for the screen management network. A few years ago Doremi recommended using eth0 (the port on the left) for the media network: I set up most systems the other way around (network configuration dictated by the owner) and it works perfectly. I think the recommendation may have been for an older model motherboard... whatever, I don't recommend changing ports over it. Best not to screw up what's working now: if you get the port settings wrong on the screen management network (communicating with the projector etc) the server will not show movies until it's corrected.
For a site where an addressing scheme is not predefined, I generally use management on 10.120.10.xxx and media on 10.120.20.xxx (the two networks must be on different segments!), with a 255.255.255.0 netmask and no gateways set. The xxx is just the device and screen number - something like 011-020 for projectors (011 for screen 1, 012 for screen 2, etc), 021-030 for servers, 031-040 for automations, etc. You are free to use whatever network addressing scheme you like on the media network, regardless of the management network settings. However, do not try to use DHCP. You need to have static IP addresses. And the two networks have the same netmask, set in eth0 configuration. If it's been set to something other than 255.255.255.0 there's probably a good reason - don't change it. If it is different and you don't understand the addressing restrictions of a different netmask, get some advice before doing the media network configuration to avoid address space conflicts.
