Configuring the PortServer System
After you install the PortServer hardware, configure the PortServer system in
preparation for installing the PortServer software. The PortServer system ships
from Avid with the Windows 2000 Server operating system, service pack,
hotfixes, and necessary drivers already installed.
To properly configure the PortServer system:
1. Check the date, time, and time zone.
2. Specify a unique computer name by which all PortServer clients can
identify the PortServer system.
Checking the Date, Time, and Time Zone
You need to make sure the date, time, time zone, and Daylight Saving Time
options are set correctly on each PortServer system. The current time is
dictated to the PortServer systems by the MediaNetwork File Manager. If the
time setting is incorrect, you will need to reset it on the File Manager.
To check the date, time, time zone, and Daylight Saving Time options on
a PortServer system:
1. Double-click the time in the taskbar. The Date/Time Properties dialog box
opens.
2. Check the date and time on the Date & Time tab.
3. Click the Time Zone tab and check the following:
- The correct time zone is selected.
- The “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes” option
is selected.
4. Click Cancel to close the Date/Time Properties dialog box without
making any changes.
5. If the time setting on the PortServer system is incorrect, you will need to
reset it on the File Manager and it will propagate to the PortServer system.
