Using a Client in a MediaNetwork System
This chapter describes how to use MediaNet-
work client software to configure your Pro Tools
workstation as a MediaNetwork client, as well as
set up and work with Pro Tools in a MediaNet-
work system.
Getting Started Using a
Workstation as a
MediaNetwork Client
To get started using your workstation as a
MediaNetwork client, follow these steps:
1 Log into MediaNetwork: See “Logging into a
MediaNetwork System” on page 17.
2 Assign the workspace drive letter: See “Assign-
ing the Workspace Drive Letter” on page 18.
3 Mount a workspace on your Pro Tools client:
See “Mounting and Unmounting Workspaces”
on page 19.
Logging into a MediaNetwork
System
After installing MediaNetwork hardware and cli-
ent software to your workstation, you must log
into the MediaNetwork system in order to con-
figure and mount MediaNetwork drives.
To log into the MediaNetwork system:
1 Do one of the following:
Macintosh: If the Connection Manager alias
icon is not available, select Go > Applications, and
then double-click the AvidUnity folder. In this
folder, double-click the UnityConnectionMan-
ager file.
Windows: If the Connection Manager icon is
not available in the Windows taskbar, select
Start > All Programs > AvidUnity > Avid Unity Con-
nection Manager.
MediaNetwork administrators should pro-
vide users of each Pro Tools client with an
individual username and password. If you
do not have a password, contact your ad-
ministrator.
