1 Avid File Gateway Server Overview
The Avid NEXIS File Gateway server enables network users to access Avid ISIS and Avid NEXIS
workspaces in a non-realtime scenario. Depending on the access permission, network users can read,
write, and delete files on workspaces without using up Avid NEXIS client licenses. This chapter
provides an overview of the Avid NEXIS File Gateway server.
The File Gateway is a separate server that is attached to a switch connected to your Avid NEXIS
system. If you already have an AS3000 server in your environment, left over from use in an Avid
ISIS environment, you can redeploy it for Avid NEXIS use. Unlike in some Avid ISIS environments,
you cannot install the File Gateway software on the Avid NEXIS system.
File Gateway Server
The File Gateway server is 1U high (see “File Gateway Server Front Panel” on page 9 ) and allows
users to move files between their local system and Avid NEXIS workspaces over the network using
Common Internet File System (CIFS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or both. The File Gateway
server does not store the files; files are stored in the workspaces within the Avid NEXIS engines.
Connect the File Gateway server as a routed client in the Avid NEXIS environment. The File
Gateway server allows FTP clients to access Avid NEXIS workspaces in a non real-time
environment over a WAN/Internet. Avid provides no performance guarantees with Avid NEXIS
when using an FTP client.

The default File Gateway server password is set to is-admin.
The Avid NEXIS systems, workgroup servers, and clients must all be synchronized with a common
time-of-day. For information on setting the Network Time Protocol (NTP), see your Avid
Administrator.
