Verifying Your Network Connection
Once you have the AirSpeed Multi Stream server connected to your network, you should
verify your network connection. This involves assigning a static or dynamic IP address
based on the requirements for your site. This enables you to communicate with your shared
storage infrastructure (ISIS or MediaNetwork). You should be able to get this information
from your site’s Administrator.
For information on setting up with ISIS, see the
Avid Unity ISIS Setup Guide.
For information on setting up with MediaNetwork, see the
Avid Unity Media Engine and
Avid MEDIArray XT Setup Guide
.

When mounting volumes on ISIS, make sure that you use the UNC pathway only. Do not use
the lettered drive as this will affect the performance of your system.
Creating a Windows User Account on the AirSpeed Multi Stream
When configuring your shared storage, it might be good practice to create a Windows user
account (with Admin rights) with an AirSpeed Multi Stream user name and matching
password (recommended Avid1234) that is consistent with an Interplay and ISIS user name
and password.
n
The password does not have to be the same for all three (AirSpeed Multi Stream, ISIS, and
Interplay). It should be the same for AirSpeed Multi Stream and ISIS, but the Interplay user
name and password can be different depending on security for your site.

If you have the AirSpeed Multi Stream application installed, but not fully configured, the
Monitor application will keep popping up. You can disable the Monitor application by
closing the AirSpeed Multi Stream Application Monitor dialog box, and then clicking OK in
the Monitor dialog box to exit and shut down.
To create a Windows user account on the AirSpeed Multi Stream:
1. Right-click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop, and select Manage from the
menu.
The Computer Management dialog box opens
2. Select Local Users and Groups in the left pane.
3. Double-click the Users folder in the right pane to open it.
4. Right-click in the right pane, and select New User from the menu.
The New User dialog box opens.
5. Type the user name in the User name field.
