(Optional) Creating a Windows User Account on the AirSpeed 5000
Your AirSpeed 5000 system comes with two default users. However, when configuring your
shared storage, it might be good practice to create a Windows user account (with Admin rights)
with an AirSpeed 5000 user name and matching password (recommended Avid1234) that is
consistent with an Interplay and ISIS user name and password.
In addition, if you want to run the AirSpeed 5000 server with a user other than the default
amsuser, the user must have Administrator privileges in the SQL database. For more
information on how to create a user with these privileges, see “(Optional) Adding a User as
Administrator to the SQL Database” on page 74.

The password does not have to be the same for all three (AirSpeed 5000, ISIS, and Interplay). It
should be the same for AirSpeed 5000 and ISIS, but the Interplay user name and password can
be different depending on security for your site.

If you have the AirSpeed 5000 application installed, but not fully configured, the Monitor
application will keep popping up. You can disable the Monitor application by closing the
AirSpeed 5000 Application Monitor dialog box, and then clicking OK in the Monitor dialog box
to exit and shut down.
