Configuring UMD for Redundancy
The Avid UMD device service supports redundancy, but some configuration is required.
To configure for redundancy:
1. Configure both device services to have the same service name, such as UMD1.
2. Restart the services. After the service name is set, it should not be necessary to restart services
for the remaining changes to occur; clicking Apply is all that is necessary.
3. Configure the remaining fields on the primary service and click Apply.
4. Make a bogus change, such as adding a space after the host name and then removing it.
5. Click the Apply To button and check the backup device service.

For Ethernet control and redundancy to work, you must upgrade the Tallyman TM1 device’s software
to version 1.7.4 and then configure it for Ethernet control. Please see Tallyman documentation for
more information. Avid also recommends the Tallyman device be in the same subnet as the Command
Server, to minimize the possibility of lost packets.
Configuring the Lookup Tab
If setting up redundant systems that are in different subnets, you must add both server names to the
Lookup tab in Avid Workgroup Properties. The following procedure should be completed on both the
primary and backup Command Servers.
To configure the Lookup tab:
1. Click the Start button, and then select All Programs > Avid > Service Framework > Avid
Workgroup Properties.
2. On the Lookup tab, click the Add button under the Workgroup section.
The Add Workgroup dialog box will open on top of the Avid Workgroup Properties window, as
shown:
