Preview Server Folder
The Preview Server folder contains a script to clear the Preview Cache.
Server Folder
The Server folder contains the Avid Interplay Engine Server installation.
Required TCP/IP Ports
When a client connects to the server through a local area network, the client uses HTTP.
On the server, port 8321 is used by the Avid Workgroup Server Browser service. The Avid
Workgroup Server Browser service listens and broadcasts on this port.
Port 80 on the server is used for client communication.
Avid Interplay Engine Servers and Services
This topic describes the different servers and services that Interplay needs to run properly. It also
provides information about the necessary access rights of these components to the file server.
Interplay has a typical client/server structure. The Interplay Engine (the server) is configured to
run on a central machine that is accessible to all users through a local area network (LAN) or the
Internet (WAN). The Interplay client applications are used to access and browse the central
database. An Interplay database consists of assets (files and folders) and metadata. See
“Interplay Databases, Folders, and Files” on page 27.

loaded by the server.
Server\Config\Config.xml This file contains the current
configuration settings for the Avid
Interplay Engine events, such as
whenever the server runs out of disk
space, emails can be sent to the
