CIFS Server Software
The File Gateway server uses the Ethernet ports on the back of the server. Each port is
dedicated to specific network traffic. Avid recommends you rename these ports so they can
be easily identified as: ISIS Traffic and CIFS_FTP Traffic. The ISIS Traffic port also
requires a setting change. You must first setup your File Gateway in your Avid ISIS network
before installing the software. Instructions on Renaming the network ports are describe in
"Setting Up Separate Network Traffic" on page
Many Windows critical updates have already been applied in the image on the Avid ISIS File
Gateway server. Do not turn on automatic updates. Manually apply only the updates that
have been approved by Avid. For approved Windows updates, access the Knowledge Base at
www.avid.com/securityupdate
document.
The Client Manager software is a must on the File Gateway server and should be installed
before the File Gateway server software. When the File Gateway server software is installed,
the installer automatically removes the Client Manager entry from the Start > Programs >
Startup menu.
Do not start the Client Manager while the File Gateway server software is running. If you
need to access the Client Manager remember to Exit the application when you are finished.
