2. At the iNEWS Workstation, run the Avid Thunder Select installation program called
ThunderSelectClient.exe
.
3. Copy the
ThunderMOS.ini
file from the
C:\Thunder
directory on your Thunder device
to your local
C:\Thunder
directory.
If you do not have a
ThunderMOS.ini
file, create it in the
C:\Thunder
directory, open
it, and enter the full UNC path to the the
ThunderMOS.cfg
file. For more information,
see “Creating the ThunderMOS.ini File” on page 175.
4. Log in to iNEWS.
