Setting Up the Host Table
The host table is a file that resides on the Aurora Edit workstation, which resolves the
name of each Aurora Edit workstation with its IP addresses. Aurora Edit uses this file to
verify that clips are sent across the proper network.
A sample hosts file looks like this:
To set up a hosts file:
1. Open the following file using Notepad, or some other text editor:
C:\WINNT\System 32\Drivers\etc\hosts
2. Enter text in a single line for each Aurora Edit workstation and Profile server on your
network, as follows:
Type the IP address, then use the TAB key or Space bar to insert a few spaces. Then
type the device name, such as AuroraEdit1 followed by the characters _FC0 for Fibre
Channel or _HE0 for Gigabit Ethernet.
3. Save the file and close the text editor.
4. Copy the new hosts file onto all other Aurora Edit workstations.
