Configuring the AirSpeed 5000 for Record and Playback
When you are done installing or updating your software, you can configure the AirSpeed 5000
application software for your site’s environment. This includes setting up Record and
Destination templates, and configuring AirSpeed 5000 channels for ingest and playout, among
other tasks.
For information on configuration your AirSpeed 5000 server for record and playback, see the
AirSpeed 5000 Administrator’s Guide or the AirSpeed 5000 Management Console Online Help.
Monitor Application
When you log into your system, the AirSpeed 5000 Monitor application launches, and allows for
the enabling or disabling of AirSpeed 5000 and Transfer Engine components. When a
component is disabled it will not be started or restarted automatically.

The Monitor application runs as a separate application, and should not be closed, unless
performing system maintenance or installing or upgrading software.
During installation and upgrade of AirSpeed 5000, all components in the Monitor application are
set to ‘Disabled’, ensuring proper updating and rebooting. After installation, the Monitor
application will launch and appear with all components set to ‘Disabled’ status. To enable them,
do the following in the Monitor application:
• Select the components you want to enable (AirSpeed 5000 and Transfer Engine), and click
Enable Application.
• Minimize the Monitor application to the Taskbar.

This action keeps the enabled applications running in the event of a crash or other critical error,
and also restarts components after a settings change, when appropriate.
If an application requests a restart directly, it is recommended that you close the application by
clicking the 'x' close window button or select 'exit' from the 'file' menu. The Monitor application
will restart the application after it has closed. This ensures that your settings are applied
properly. It is not recommended to use the Monitor application to stop and start all components
as this may lead to unexpected results.
