Installing the Avid Products Software

The Windows Ethernet client requires a qualified version of the Avid

products software, which allows it to use the MediaNetwork storage or

LANserver storage when the client is connected to a MediaNetwork

workgroup or a LANshare workgroup. Before you install the Ethernet

client software, install the qualified version of the Avid products software.

To determine if you have a qualified version of Avid products software, see

the Avid Unity MediaNetwork Release Notes.

Installing the Windows Ethernet Client Software

Each Windows Ethernet client requires software that allows it to log in to

the workgroup, to mount accessible workspaces, and to read and write data

to those workspaces in real time. The Windows Ethernet client software is

provided on the MediaNetwork CD-ROM and might also be available for

network installation from the PortServer Pro system or the LANserver.

Installing Ethernet Client Software from the CD-ROM

To install the Windows Ethernet client software from the

MediaNetwork CD-ROM:

1. Insert the MediaNetwork CD-ROM in the Windows Ethernet client

CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM is set to start automatically and open

the Avid Unity Installation window. This takes approximately

1minute.

If the CD-ROM does not start automatically, start the installation

manually as follows:

a. Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.

The My Computer window opens.

b. Right-click the CD-ROM icon, and select AutoPlay.

The Avid Unity Installation window opens.

2. Click Product Installers.
