Chapter 2 Configuring the Windows Ethernet Client

Additional Client Procedures
Avid recommends that you do the following:
• Mount a workspace on the client (see the MediaNetwork Windows
Ethernet Client Quick Start Card).
• Perform a throughput test on the client using the Avid Performance
Meter utility. This utility checks that the client connection is properly
established and that the workgroup is functioning correctly. For more
information about using the Avid Performance Meter utility, see
Appendix A.
Reconfiguring the Client Connection
You configure the IP address for the PortServer Pro system or the
LANserver to which a client is connected when you install the Windows
Ethernet client software. Normally, you do not need to change this address.
(The MediaNetwork Windows Ethernet client software does not currently
support connecting a client to any PortServer Pro system or LANserver
other than the one to which it is directly connected through the Ethernet
switch.) However, you can move the client and connect it directly to
another PortServer Pro system or LANserver.
