The MediaFrame server has been configured, connected, and licensed with the 7.0
SDK. For more information, see the Aurora Browse documentation.

You have valid credentials for the workgroup or domain where the proxy NAS is

2. From the menu, select

GV Browse displays.

3. Select

and enter the name of the MediaFrame server.

4. If you are starting GV Browse for the first time with this MediaFrame server, follow

these additional steps:

a) Check the

Registered User

radio button.

b) Enter the <hostname|username> and password needed to access the proxy NAS.

If the server cannot be located, an error message displays in the status bar on
the lower-left corner of the application.
