Configuring a Second Command System
A second Command system is for controlling an independent system, like a second studio, in the
same workgroup. It is not the same as a redundant system, in which the backup server uses the same
system name as the primary server. In Command, the system name is numeric, such as 1, 2, 3, and so
forth.

For a more meaningful name, a system alias can be configured, which appears in the status bar of the
Command user interface. For more information on system aliases, see the MediaCentral Command
Administration Guide.
Multiple MediaCentral Command systems usually belong to the same workgroup. If two or more
systems are in the same workgroup, each of the Command systems must have a unique, numeric
name, which is assigned by Avid manufacturing.
