AirSpeed 5000 Network Configuration Checklist
71
Assigning an IP Address
Once you have the AirSpeed 5000 server connected to your network, you should verify your
network connection. This involves assigning a static or dynamic IP address based on the
requirements for your site. This enables you to communicate with your shared storage
infrastructure (ISIS 5000 or ISIS 7000). You should be able to get this information from your
site’s Administrator.
You must use LAN 3 and/or Lan 4 for ISIS communication.
For information on setting up with ISIS 5000 or ISIS 7000, see the Avid Unity ISIS Setup Guide.

When mounting volumes on ISIS, make sure that you use the UNC pathway only. Do not use the
lettered drive as this will affect the performance of your system.
Activating Your Windows 7 Operating System
Once you have assigned an IP address to your AirSpeed 5000 server, you should activate your
Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System.

When re-imaging your system, you will need to re-activate your Windows 7 Operating System.

There might be instances where your Operating System has already been activated.
There are two methods available to active your Windows 7 Operating System:
• Activate Online method. If you have Internet access, you can activate online.
• Activate Using the Telephone method. If you do not have Internet access, you must
activate using the “Activate using the telephone” method.

Certain services are required to be running in order to activate Windows 7 when not using the
“Activate online” method. To properly activate your Windows 7 Operating System software
using the “Activate using the telephone” method, we have provided a script to enable and
disable the required services, which are not enabled in the AirSpeed 5000 Windows 7 Operating
System Version 6 image. Be sure to run the scripts in the procedure below when activating
Windows 7 using the “Activate using the telephone” method.
