Migrating an Interplay Transfer Server

Interplay Transfer uses ports 6432 and 6535 to communicate with the sending or receiving

device. After the Transfer Engine establishes the connection, the OS on the external device

assigns a port and notifies the Transfer Engine of the new port number. Then the external

device starts listening on that port. Transfer Engine uses the new port number for sending or

receiving data.

For Installation and Configuration Information

For information on installing software and configuring an Interplay Transfer Engine, see

Interplay Transfer Setup and User’s Guide or the Interplay Help.

Copying the TMServer.ini file to the AS3000

The TMServer.ini file contains many of the Interplay Transfer settings. This is the file that

the system uses when you open the Interplay Transfer Engine Configuration tool. If you will

be using the same ingest and playout devices, it is useful to copy the file to the new AS3000

server.

To copy the TMServer.ini file to the AS3000:

1. Navigate to the following location on the Windows XP Interplay Transfer server:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avid\Avid Interplay Transfer

Engine

2. Copy the TMServer.ini file to the following folder on the AS3000:

C:\ProgramData\All Users\Avid\Avid Interplay Transfer Engine

3. (Option) Open the Interplay Transfer Engine Configuration tool to view the settings.

4. (Option) If you use DET for operations such as archive, restore, or Long GOP transfers,

copy the DET folder to the AS3000 as described in “Migrating DET Configuration Files

to Another Server” on page 25.

5. (Option) If you use Generic FTP profiles, export the FTP Registry key to the AS3000 as

described in “Migrating Generic FTP Profiles to Another Server” on page 26.

6. Restart the Transfer Engine.

Migrating DET Configuration Files to Another Server

If you use DET for operations such as archive and restore or for Long GOP transfers, you

can copy the DET configuration files to the AS3000. This also applies if you use third party

DET implementations.
