To install the application key (dongle):
1. Locate the application key in the LANserver EX3 kit.
2. Attach the application key to the USB port on the back of the LANserver
EX3. Make sure the application key is seated completely in the port.
To allow the clients in your LANshare workgroup to use other network
services, you can connect the LANshare workgroup to your in-house Ethernet
local area network (LAN).
If you have multiple LANshare workgroups, you can connect each Ethernet
switch directly to the LAN, or cascade the Ethernet switches and connect only
one of them to the LAN.
A connection to an in-house LAN is not a requirement to allow access by
Ethernet clients to MediaNetwork workspaces shared by the LANserver EX3.
Avid does not install, configure, or troubleshoot in-house LANs. If you are
having trouble with your LAN, consult your Information Services department
or your network vendor.
When you are connecting the LANserver EX3 to an in-house network,
make sure you use only Category 5 Ethernet cable. Using other cable
types can cause LANserver EX3 performance problems.
Connect the LANserver EX3 to an in-house network using the Ethernet
switch. Using the built-in 10/100BASE-T Ethernet connector on the
LANserver EX3 can cause an increase in login time for all the attached
Ethernet clients.
