Activating FASP

By default, IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on for Connect:Direct is not enabled. To enable it, you must download a license key and install Connect:Direct® for UNIX V4.2.0.4 iFix 13 or later.

  1. Download the IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on for Connect:Direct license key for your Connect:Direct node from Passport Advantage.
  2. Rename the file aspera-license.
  3. Save the renamed file to the <cd_dir>/ndm/cfg/<nodename> directory.
  4. Download and install Connect:Direct for UNIX V4.2.0, Fix Pack 3 (or later) from Fix Central.
    Important: The Connect:Direct install package includes the IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on for Connect:Direct configuration file (aspera.conf).
