Configuring the FT Server
Configuration overview
If you have received your FT server from the factory for use in a STRATUS Media Workflow
system, it has been configured with all necessary STRATUS software and all server functionality
such as duplexed LANs and Rapid Disk Resync (RDR) has been performed at the factory. Once
you have installed and powered up your system, refer to the STRATUS documentation for further
instructions.
If you have received your FT server from the factory as a replacement for an older server in a
STRATUS Media Workflow system, it will require the installation of STRATUS software using
SiteConfig. The Discovery Agent utility necessary for SiteConfig has been installed at the factory
and all server functionality such as duplexed LANs and Rapid Disk Resync (RDR) has been
performed. Once you have installed and powered up your system, refer to the STRATUS Media
Workflow documentation for further instructions.
Service Program configuration
The FT server achieves the duplex system using the following service programs which are configured
at the factory, in addition to dedicated drivers.
Service program names shown in Services :
• ftSys eService (outputs SEL (System Event Log)
• ftSys Maintenance and Diagnostics (MAD) (provides ft control management and diagnostic
features)
• ftSys RPC Provider (manages WMI configuration and status)

• SNMP Service
• Alert Manager Main Service

The above programs are necessary for the FT server operation. Do not stop these services.
