ISIS and Network Connections
The following table shows the connections for ISIS 5000 and ISIS 7000.
External devices should communicate with the Interplay Transfer engine via the DNS entry
of the network connection.
MediaNetwork Connection
For connection to Avid Unity MediaNetwork, insert the qualified Fibre Channel card in
either the top or bottom PCIe slot. Use either of the Pro/1000 PT Ports for the network
connection. See “MediaNetwork Connections” on page 39.
Port Usage on the Interplay Transfer Server
For two workgroups to cooperate, some workstations in one workgroup must have access to
services in the other workgroup. If these workgroups are not in the same site, or are
separated by routers or firewalls, you have to establish access to allow these services to work
together.
The main components are an Avid Interplay Engine and two Interplay Transfer Engines. All
these services are TCP/IP based.
• The Avid Interplay Engine leverages the standard HTTP service on port 80.
• The Interplay Transfer Engines use port numbers that are defined in the services file in
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\. As installed, these port numbers are as
follows:
- 6532 - the Interplay Transfer Engine listens on this port for requests from other TM
servers (for example, initiating a workgroup transfer).
- 6535 - This is the default port used by the Interplay Transfer Engine for connecting
to playback servers (for example, AirSpeed Multi Stream).
- 6539 - The Interplay Transfer Engine listens on this port for incoming requests from
the Transfer Client.
Connection Type ISIS 5000 ISIS 7000
First ISIS connection Pro/1000 PT Port Pro/1000 PT Port
Second ISIS connection NA Pro/1000 PT Port
Network connection Pro/1000 PT Port Port 1 or 3. If you have only one ISIS
connection, use the second Pro/1000 PT Port
for the network connection.
