 Chapter 3 

Setting Up a PortServer Pro Workgroup

42

Additional Prerequisites for PortServer Pro 
Workgroups

In addition to the installation prerequisites listed in 

Chapter 2

 for a basic 

PortServer workgroup, you need the following components to create a 
PortServer Pro workgroup:

•

An Ethernet switch that connects the PortServer Pro system to the 
PortServer Pro clients and a one Gigabit connection to the PortServer.

•

Up to 20 PortServer Pro clients (Avid workstations running qualified 
versions of Avid Composer Products software)

•

A PortServer Pro application key

Connecting the PortServer Pro Application Key

To install the application key:

1. Locate the application key in the PortServer Pro kit. This application key 

is configured with a PortServer Pro license that allows the PortServer Pro 
system to mount MediaNetwork workspaces without using a client 
license.

2. Attach the application key to the USB adapter to the rear of the PortServer 

Pro.

c

Be careful not to lose the application key. Your PortServer Pro 
workgroup does not function without it. If you lose the application key, 
you must purchase another one from Avid to use your PortServer Pro 
software.
