Chapter 3 Configuring the system
Prepare NAS - Condor
This section describes how to prepare the Condor NAS for the Aurora Browse
networks. For information on how to install and configure the NAS for your K2
system, see the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual and the K2 Lx0 RAID Storage
Instruction Manual.
If you are configuring the Windows Fastora NAS for the Aurora Browse network,
refer to
“NAS instructions - Fastora” on page 122 .
Before you prepare the NAS, make sure the following requirements are met:
• The MediaFrame Server and NAS need to have the clocks set to the same time, or
they need to be connected to the network for NTP.
• You must have the same local username and password, with administrative
privileges, across all the machines in your Aurora Browse system. For more
information, see
“About the administrator account” on page 47 .
To configure the Condor NAS for the Aurora Browse networks, do the following:
1. From any Production network machine, enable the network to recognize the NAS
by adding an IP address within the 192.168 range.
2. Make a share. Share name: media.
3. Assign user privileges for the media folder as follows:
Everyone — Modify
administrators — Full Control
4. Click OK.
Verify Proxy NAS access from production network machines, which are machines of
the following types:
• MediaFrame server
• Aurora Proxy Encoder
To verify access, from each production network machine do the following:
1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the media directory on the NAS. You can
do this with the following path:
\\root-nb-nas-1\Media
2. Verify basic read/write capabilities by creating, modifying, and deleting a simple
text file.
To verify access from client network machines, choose a machine on the Client
network that can represent a Aurora Browse client PC and that is convenient for
testing.
3. Verify that Aurora Browse client PCs will have modify rights.
