Checklist: Before you Begin
Before you start to install software and configure the Command Server(s), ensure the
following tasks are completed.
Some Avid Interplay products, such as Instinct, Assist, and Access use Service Framework.
Avid iNEWS Command also uses Service Framework; however, the two versions might not
be compatible. Consult with Avid Customer Support to determine Service Framework
compatibility when Avid Interplay products are installed in the same workgroup. It might be
necessary to:
Tasks
Assign a static IP address to each server.
If the server has dual network cards, you must disable the unused connection.
The Avid Service Framework relies heavily on DNS name resolution to discover and communicate
with Avid Service Framework and Command services.
Establish the DNS server and ensure all computers with Command services or applications
are entered in the DNS table with reverse lookup enabled.
Make sure that your TCP/IP settings have the correct primary and alternate DNS addresses.
Also, ensure the Advanced TCP/IP settings (on the DNS tab) are set to the following:
• The Append these DNS suffixes option is selected and the domain is listed, preferably
first.
• The Register this connection’s addresses in DNS check box is selected.
• (Optional) The Use this connection’s DNS suffix in DNS registration check box is
selected.
If Command will be used to control a third-party video device via VDCP, ensure that a serial card or
serial port server are used.

For version compatibility information, see the latest ReadMe available for your version of
Avid iNEWS Command.
Tasks
Use a separate workgroup for the Command system.
Install Command on separate machines that run Service Framework compatible with Command.
