Installing Software on the Interplay Engine Server
37
The Central Configuration Server (CCS) is an Interplay Engine with a special module that is
useful if you are working in an environment that includes more than one Interplay Engine
(including an Interplay Archive Engine). However, even if you are working in an
environment with one Interplay Engine, you need to specify a CCS.
Select one of the following:
t This Avid Interplay Engine: Specifies that the Interplay Engine that you are installing
should be the CCS. Click Next.
t Another Avid Interplay Engine: Specifies that a previously installed Interplay Engine
should be the CCS. An additional dialog box opens. Type the name of the Interplay
Engine to be used as the CCS and click Next.
If you want to specify another Interplay Engine, you must specify an Interplay Engine that is
already installed. If you have not yet installed the desired Interplay Engine, specify the
current Interplay Engine, install the desired Interplay Engine, and then change the CCS
through the Interplay Administrator. See “Understanding the Central Configuration Server”
in the Avid Interplay Engine and Avid Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide.

If you specify an Interplay Engine that is not yet installed, you might not be able to log onto
the system. See “Troubleshooting Log-in Problems” in the Avid Interplay Engine and Avid
Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide.
The Server Execution User dialog box opens.
10. Select Custom user account and click Next.
The Server Execution User is a Windows account that has administrative access to the Avid
Interplay Engine. This account also needs to have administrative access to the shared storage
workgroup. Avid requires that you create a custom user account. For more information, see
