Join an existing
Avid|DS workgroup
If you are on a network with other Avid|DS
workstations, and there is already another Avid|DS

part of a group that is able to automatically locate
projects or media stored on other workstations within
the same group.
From the drop-down list, select the Avid|DS
workgroup that you want to join. Your workstation
will join the workgroup as a “slave”. Note that
Standalone Workstations also appear as masters in
the pulldown menu.

If you want to make this workstation the master, then
select Enable/Disable this workstation as the
master of the Avid|DS workgroup.
If you want to make this workstation a slave, then
