File Gateway Server Client
A File Gateway uses a 10 Gb Ethernet connection to a switch to communicate with the Avid NEXIS
architecture. The File Gateway server displays, creates, and delete files within the Avid NEXIS
shared storage network system through the Windows operating system as shares that are mapped to
drive letters.
Customer Responsibility
Before installing your Avid workgroup hardware, you are responsible for:
• Developing a floor plan for your hardware configuration. This includes the Avid workgroup and
attached clients.
• Preparing your site to meet all the proper power, environmental, and space requirements for the
Avid hardware and any attached Avid clients. To obtain site requirements for your Avid clients,
see the Knowledge Base on the Avid Web site (www.avid.com).
• Obtaining a rack for mounting Avid products. For rack recommends, see “Rack Mounting the
File Gateway” on page 14 .
n
Choose a rack that has receptacles and plugs appropriate for the power requirements of the
hardware you are purchasing.
• Obtaining a display for accessing the File Gateway server through the network.
• Obtaining and running all cables between the Avid hardware and any attached clients throughout
your facility.
• Running all cables related to your LAN, and providing the proper network setup and
connections.
• Installing and configuring any Ethernet routers or bridges, not supplied with the Avid
workgroup,
before the Avid representative begins your system installation.
• Installing appropriate Ethernet connections within the areas where Avid workgroup and clients
are being installed.
c
Avid is not responsible for installing or troubleshooting cables that you do not purchase from
Avid. Avid also does not provide network services for your in-house network and strongly
suggests you use a local service provider to install and set up network connections. Avid does
supply networking services for any Ethernet connections between the Avid workgroup, its
clients, and its servers.
