Chapter 3 Configuring the system
Configure Avalon Archive MDI
Open this page locally on the machine that hosts the Avalon Archive MDI software
component. In this example settings are shown for archiving to/from a AuroraShare
NAS. This page tells the Avalon Archive MDI where to look for FTP transfer of
high-res material.
Typically load balancing is configured using Round Robin on this page. If load
balancing is provided by the managed device, when configuring netsem, make sure
the netsem FTP server logical name matches the same FTP server MDI name.
