Accessing and Logging Into Nearchive

The Nearchive user interface is implemented as a dynamic Web page. You open Nearchive

with Internet Explorer 6.0 (Windows) or Internet Explorer 5.0 (Macintosh). This interface

implementation allows easy access without the need to install and run special software on

your Avid system.

Opening Nearchive

Optain the Nearchive URL from your site administrator. A typical example is:

http://nearchive-zx4/omm/default.asp

(nearchive-zx4 is the computer name of the Nearchive server.)

To open the Nearchive in Internet Explorer:

1. Start the Internet Explorer application.

2. Select File > Open.

3. Type the URL supplied to you by your administrator in the Open dialog box, and then

click OK.

Alternatively, if the Address toolbar is open, you can simply type the URL there and

press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).

After you open the Nearchive page for the first time by specifying its URL manually, you

might want to set it as your default home page or to bookmark it for easy access. For more

information, see the Help provided with your Internet browser.

You can open additional Nearchive sessions by using the same login account in multiple

browser windows on the same system without using additional Nearchive client licenses.

However, opening additional Nearchive sessions on the same system by using another login

account or opening Nearchive sessions on another system by using the same login account

will use additional licenses.
