 You do not directly add scan settings to the device in the Devices pane. You instead
must create the scan settings by using the Response and Schedule panes. See
Chapter 14, “
Managing Automations ,” on page 193 for more information.
 You have many more options and settings. Manually configuring a device allows you
more flexibility.
 You are not able to easily add some device types, such as Xsan, NFS, or SMB/CIFS.
These are much easier to add with Device Setup Assistant.
Important: When you add a device using the Administration window, Final Cut Server
does not verify the settings until the first time you use it. Be sure to try any new devices
you create to ensure they work correctly. A good way to verify a device is to use the
Search Devices option. See “
Searching Devices ” on page 182 for more information.
Note: It is strongly suggested that you do not create any devices on the server
computer’s startup disk. Devices contain large media files and can use all of the
available disk space of their hard disk, which causes serious issues if that hard disk is
also the startup disk.
To add a device using the Administration window:
1 Open a Final Cut Server client and log in as a user with administrator privileges.
2 Choose Administration from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the
Final Cut Server main window that appears when you click the Server button).
The Administration window appears.
Click the Server button
and choose
Administration from the
pop-up menu.
