2 Do one of the following:
Macintosh: Double-click the Connection Man-
ager alias icon on the desktop, or double-click
the Connection Manager alias icon in the dock,

3 If you are not logged in with a valid MediaNet-
work user name and password, you are
prompted to supply them before the Avid Unity
Connection Manager dialog box opens.
In the Network Logon dialog box (Macintosh) or
the Login dialog box (Windows), type a valid
MediaNetwork user name, password, and Do-
main name (if necessary), and click OK.
The Avid Unity Connection Manager dialog box
opens and displays a list of all the MediaNet-
work workspaces to which you have access.
Assigning the Workspace
Drive Letter
(Windows only)
MediaNetwork workspaces (drives) are automat-
ically assigned a sequential series of alphabetical
letters starting with the letter f. For example, a
MediaNetwork system containing three work-
spaces would be assigned the drive letters f, g,
and h, respectively.
If your MediaNetwork client contains any local
drive that shares a letter (such as f) with a Unity
workspace, you must re-map the Unity work-
spaces so that drive letters on the Pro Tools cli-
ent do not overlap with drive letters on Unity
workspaces.
To re-map workspace drive letters:
1 Click the MediaNetwork taskbar icon, and
choose Configure from the pop-up menu.
2 In the Avid Ethernet Attached Client dialog,
click Advanced. The Advanced Connection Man-
ager Options dialog appears.
3 From the “Assign Workspace Drive Letters
Starting With” pop-up menu, select the letter to
which the first workspace will be assigned.
(Make sure to select a letter whose range of se-
quential letters does not include any letters as-
signed to drives on your Pro Tools client.)
4 Select “Synchronize the System Clock with
the Server Clock.” This is necessary to help pre-
vent time-related title creation and access prob-
lems by synchronizing the time of the
MediaNetwork client to the time of MediaNet-
work File Manager.
5 If you want to be notified when the status of a
workspace connection is lost, select the relevant
option.
6 Click OK to apply changes.
