IP Addressing Strategies for PortServer Pro
Workgroups
If your PortServer Pro system and PortServer Pro clients are connected to your
local area network, the PortServer Pro system and each PortServer Pro client
must be properly configured with a unique, valid IP address and subnet mask.
Your local area network administrator should determine how to allocate IP
addresses for the systems on your network, bearing in mind the following:
• Assign a static IP address to the Gigabit Ethernet adapter in the PortServer
Pro system — the PortServer Pro clients are configured to address the
PortServer Pro system using this address.
• Assign static IP addresses to the PortServer Pro clients or use Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain them dynamically if you
have a DHCP server on the network.
• However you assign the PortServer Pro client IP addresses, the PortServer
Pro system and all clients must have addresses in the same subnet.
Sharing MediaNetwork Workspaces in a
PortServer Pro Workgroup
Mounting and sharing workspaces in a PortServer Pro workgroup is different
than in a basic PortServer workgroup.
As with a basic PortServer workgroup, the Avid Unity PortServer service
starts automatically when you boot the PortServer Pro system. On startup (and
every 60 seconds thereafter), the service reads MediaNetwork configuration
information from the File Manager to obtain workspace, user, and access
privilege information.
