Section 1 Introduction  
AXIS StorPoint CD E100  
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD-ROM drives, CD-R/RW  
writers, towers and changers to 10/100 MBit Ethernet networks. All users on the  
network can share the information on any disc inserted into a connected drive.  
The enclosure and connectors are  
designed for installation into a  
standard 51/4” tower. An IDE  
version, a single and a dual SCSI  
port version are available. It is not  
possible to mix IDE disks and  
drives with a SCSI version, or vice  
versa.  
The StorPoint CD is server  
independent, which means that  
no software has to be loaded on  
any server, and no additional  
software has to be installed on any  
client.  
The StorPoint CD supports hard  
disk caching which means that the  
inserted discs can be copied to a hard disk attached to the SCSI or IDE bus. The  
caching mechanism allows users to access the networked discs at hard disk speed.  
The StorPoint CD supports CD-Recordable drives which means that when a  
CD-Recordable drive is connected to the StorPoint CD, this makes is possible to  
write files to CD-R/RW discs over the network.

Notes: ❏ Throughout this manual, the AXIS StorPoint CD E100 is referred to as  
simply StorPoint CD.  
❏ The Basic versions of the StorPoint CD do not support hard disk caching,  
writing to recordable discs or organizing discs into folders. Thus, all  
information in this document relating to these functions does not apply to  
the Basic versions.

Section 1: Introduction  
Features and Benefits  
File Server The StorPoint CD is connected as a node in an Ethernet or Token Ring  
Independence network. The StorPoint CD acts as a file server to the network. This means that  
it is independent of other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly  
between the network client and the StorPoint CD. This results in high  
performance, reliability and independence of other equipment.  
Plug and Play The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and  
convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the network is the  
only installation required prior to starting work with the StorPoint CD. No  
software needs to be installed on clients or file servers. Your computer will see  
the StorPoint CD as another network file server, and you access it using the  
standard commands used in your network operating system.  
Environments The StorPoint CD can be used simultaneously from NetWare, Windows, OS/2,  
DOS, UNIX, Macintosh and Internet/intranet clients. It supports basic  
messaging and network protocols:  
•

Section 1: Introduction  
Internet/Intranet The built-in Web server makes it possible to access data via any standard Web  
Web Server browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The  
support includes configuration, management and disc access.  
Speed By using a 32-bit RISC processor and cache memory expandable up to 160 MB,  
data throughput of up to 2700 kB/sec on a single client, or 4000 kB totally for  
multiple clients, is obtained – ample speed for demanding CD-ROM  
applications.  
Security Disc access can be restricted by setting up native access control in all network  
environments. It is also possible to limit the number of simultaneous users of  
any disc in order to comply with license agreements.  
Maintenance New software can easily be downloaded to the StorPoint CD’s Flash memory by  
using Windows Explorer drag-and-drop, or over the network using FTP. All  
updates are free of charge.  
Network The StorPoint CD supports the Simple Network Management Protocol,  
Management SNMP.  
Hard Disk Caching The StorPoint CD includes a hard disk caching facility that can copy the  
inserted discs to attached hard disks. This mechanism will allow faster user  
access, especially if you are using changers. Furthermore, a cached copy can be  
accessed even though the original disc has been ejected from the drive.  
CD Grouping In the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) and the Novell NetWare network  
environments it is possible to use your Windows Explorer to create new group  
folders under the Volumes folder. This makes it possible to group discs, and thus  
easier to locate and access.  
Easy Network Backup With the support of writing to recordable discs using simple drag-and-drop, the  
StorPoint CD makes an excellent backup solution over the network.  
Scalable Solutions If you have more than one StorPoint CD on your network, the AXIS StorPoint  
DISCO is a convenient tool for locating and accessing the networked  
CD/DVDs. The AXIS StorPoint DISCO utility can be downloaded free of  
charge from the Axis Web Site.  
Asian Languages With the StorPoint CD you can display Asian discs on the Discs & Drives page.  
The supported languages are: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese  
and Korean.

Section 2: Installing the StorPoint CD  
Assigning an IP Address  
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must assign an  
appropriate IP address to your StorPoint CD. For example, this is needed in  
order to access the StorPoint CD Web interface.  
Note: ❏ Setting the IP address is not needed if you are not using IP addressing on  
your network, i.e. in these environments:  
• Windows (SMB over NetBEUI)  
• NetWare (IPX)  
• Macintosh (AFP over AppleTalk)  
You can then proceed directly to the appropriate network environment  
section of the manual.  
Before You Begin Make sure the StorPoint CD is powered up and attached to the network.  
IP Address Obtain an unused IP address from the Network Administrator, unless you are  
using DHCP on your network.  
DHCP If you are using DHCP, the IP address will be set automatically as soon as you  
connect the StorPoint CD to the network. To find out which IP address has  
been assigned to your StorPoint CD, check your DHCP server. If you want to  
set the IP address manually, you can disable DHCP by setting the appropriate  
configuration parameter.  
System Privileges You will need root privileges on your UNIX system and administrator privileges  
on Windows NT.  
Ethernet Address Depending on the method you are using, you  
will need to know the Ethernet address of your  
StorPoint CD. The Ethernet address is the same  
as the serial number.  
00408C3E5207  
You will find the serial number on the labels at  
the underside of the unit and at the back of the  
tower.  
Important! ❏ Do not use the default or example IP address when installing your StorPoint  
CD. Always consult the Network Administrator before assigning an IP  
address.

over routers.  
Note: ❏ When the IP address has been successfully assigned to your StorPoint CD,  
you can set the ProtectIP parameter to onin order to avoid accidental or  
malicious changing of the IP address. With this configuration, the StorPoint  
CD will no longer accept a new IP address using the Web browser or ARP  
method. You will find the ProtectIP parameter under the [IP] section in the  
config.inifile located in the System/ServerPropertiesfolder. Use a  
text editor to edit the file.  
Web Browser In most Windows environments, you can use a standard Web browser, e.g. Internet  
Explorer or Netscape Navigator, to set the IP address. Follow these steps:  
1. Start your Web browser.  
2. In the location/address field, enter the following:

Section 2: Installing the StorPoint CD  
Example  
The serial number of your StorPoint CD is 00408C3E5207 and you want to assign  
it the IP address 192.16.253.80. Your Windows client has the IP address  
192.16.6.40. You enter 3E5207_253_80 in the location/address field.  
The StorPoint CD will retrieve the first two groups of the new IP address  
from the subnet where the client issues the broadcast.  
When the IP address has been successfully set, the StorPoint CD File View  
page will appear in your Web browser.  
Important!  
❏
You must have the NetBEUI protocol enabled. In Windows 2000, this is not the  
default setting.  
❏ The new IP address must be set within 30 minutes after restart.  
❏ This method will work for most Windows configurations. However, if you  
experience problems when using this method, we recommend that you use  
the AXIS IP Installer for setting the IP address. See “AXIS IP Installer ” on  
page 15.  
AXIS IP Installer AXIS IP Installer is an application that allows you to assign IP addresses to your  
StorPoint CD, find IP addresses of already installed StorPoint CDs and access  
the StorPoint CD internal Web pages for easy configuration.  
The required utility software is available on the AXIS Online CD. It can also be  
downloaded from the Axis Web Site at http://www.axis.com  
Follow these steps to install the AXIS IP Installer:  
1. Locate the setup file, Setup.exe, and choose the Run option from the  
Windows Start menu.  
2. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.  
When finished, the AXIS IP Installer will be available from your Start menu. To  
run the program, select Programs | Axis Communications | AXIS IP Installer.  
1. Select the serial number  
of your AXIS StorPoint  
server in this list.  
2. Enter the desired IP  
address in this field.

ARP in Windows 95, Perform the following commands to download the IP address and verify correct  
Windows 98 and Internet communication in Windows 95/98/2000/ME and Windows NT.  
Windows NT  
Start a DOS window and type the following command:  
Syntax Windows 95  
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> <my PC IP address>  
ping <IP address>  
where <my PC IP address> is the IP address of your Windows 95 PC.  
Example Windows 95  
arp -s 192.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86 171.16.6.40  
ping 192.16.253.80  
Syntax Windows 98/2000/ME and Windows NT  
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>  
ping <IP address>  
Example Windows 98/2000/ME and Windows NT  
arp -s 192.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86  
ping 192.16.253.80  
The host will return ‘Reply from 192.16.253.80 ...’ or some similar  
message. This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is  
established.  
Notes: ❏ Once the StorPoint CD has established communication using an  
appropriate IP address, the arpcommand cannot be used to change the  
address. This is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes. However, if  
you restart the StorPoint CD, you can change the IP address within 30  
minutes.  
❏ Please note that when you execute the pingcommand for the first time, you  
will experience a significantly longer response time than usual.  
❏ If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the  
acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network  
Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on  
your particular system.

and OS/2 UNIX and OS/2:  
1. Type the following command:  
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp  
2. Ping the unit as follows:  
ping <IP address>  
Example:  
arp -s 192.16.253.80 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp  
ping 192.16.253.80  
The host will return ‘192.16.253.80 is alive’, or some similar message  
to indicate that the address has been set and the communication is  
established.  
Notes: ❏ Once the StorPoint CD has established communication using an  
appropriate IP address, the arpcommand cannot be used to change the  
address. This is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes. However, if  
you restart the StorPoint CD, you can change the IP address within 30  
minutes.  
❏ Please note that when you execute the pingcommand for the first time, you

❏ If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the  
acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network  
Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on  
your particular system.  
❏ The arp -scommand may vary from system to system. Some BSD-type  
systems expect the IP address and Ethernet address in reverse order, whereas  
IBM AIX systems require the additional argument ether. For example:  
arp -s ether <IP address> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp

DHCP in Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:  
Windows NT,  
NetWare and UNIX  
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. For  
Windows NT servers, refer to the “Windows NT Resource Kit” on how to do  
this.  
The entries made in this scope typically include the following parameters:  
• Range of IP addresses  
• Subnet mask  
• Default router IP address  
• Lease duration  
• Mail server IP address  
• DNS server IP address  
• WINS server IP address(es)  
• Domain name  
• NTP server IP address  
• NDS tree name  
• NDS server IP address(es)  
2. Activate the scope.  
DHCP is enabled by default. The IP address and all the other settings will be set  
automatically.  
Notes: ❏ To fully benefit from DHCP, it is recommended that you use the WINS  
name resolution protocol available in Windows NT. If you intend to use  
WINS, at least one WINS server IP address must be included in the scope.  
Once the IP address is received, the StorPoint CD will register its host name  
and IP address on the WINS server.  
❏ You might want to include an SLP scope list and some SLP directory agents  
in the DHCP scope. However, we recommend that you specify the SLP  
settings in the StorPoint CD parameter list instead. You can do this via the  
StorPoint CD Web interface or by editing the config.inifile.

Section 3 Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB)  
This section outlines the required configuration settings for running the  
StorPoint CD in the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) network environment, i.e.  
Windows 95/98/2000/ME, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups or OS/2.  
It also describes how to set up access restrictions.  
If you are using the StorPoint CD in a multiprotocol environment, proceed to  
the other relevant sections of the manual, namely:  
•
•
•
•
•
“Section 4 - NetWare (NCP) ”  
“Section 5 - UNIX (NFS) ”  
“Section 6 - Macintosh (AFP) ”  
“Section 7 - FTP (File Transfer Protocol) ”  
“Section 8 - Web Browser (HTTP) ”  
Network Settings  
You do not have to specify any specific settings before you can use the StorPoint  
CD in the Windows (SMB) environment. However, we recommend that you  
change some of the default settings, e.g. the SMB server name. You can use the  
Administration Web pages to configure the StorPoint CD.  
SMB Server Name The default SMB server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>, where <nnnnnn> are the last  
six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number. This is the name that will be  
presented to the Windows clients on the network. You can change that name by  
editing the SMB Server Name parameter.  
Recommendation!  
Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g. CD_Server.  
SMB Protocols SMB is a protocol that make use of NetBIOS. NetBIOS can be used over several  
different network protocols. The StorPoint CD supports the following transport  
methods:  
•
•
SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP (NBT) - max 1000 users  
SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI - max 300 users  
Both protocols are enabled by default. However, you can disable the protocols  
by setting the appropriate configuration parameters.  
Access Control Access control is used for restricting access to the shared discs in the StorPoint  
CD. In the Windows (SMB) environment you can select whether you want to  
use user-level or share-level access control.

Section 3: Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB)  
User-level User-level access control allows you to define rights for discs/volumes based on  
Access Control whom the user logged into the domain as. The StorPoint CD will act as a  
“member server” in the NT-domain and verify the user’s identity and group  
memberships against a domain controller on the network. The advantages with  
this method are:  
•
•
•
The user is not required to answer to password prompts every time he/she  
needs to access a protected disc or a volume.  
The network administrator can administer the access rights for discs and  
volumes using Windows NT’s standard administration tools.  
The network administrator can use the native user groups in the domain to  
set basic security.  
Share-level Share-level access control is based on different passwords for different shared  
Access Control discs/folders. No verification with domain controllers will take place. This is a  
good method to use in smaller “workgroup based” networks when there is no  
domain controller.  
Recommendation!  
User-level access control is the preferred method to use in Windows NT server  
based networks.  
Wizard The installation wizard is a convenient way to set up your StorPoint CD for  
your Windows (SMB) environment and it will guide you through the following:  
•
Defining your server name and the workgroup/domain you want your  
StorPoint CD to appear in.  
•
Defining how you want to control access to shared resources.  
To run the Wizard follow the steps outlined below:  
1. Start your Web browser, and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint  
CD in the location/address field.  
2. Click admin. You will be prompted for the Server password. By default, this

Section 4 NetWare (NCP)  
This section outlines the required configuration settings for running the  
StorPoint CD in the Novell NetWare environment, how to set up access  
restrictions and accessing the discs.  
The StorPoint CD supports a maximum of 1000 users in NetWare.  
If you intend to use StorPoint CD in a multiprotocol environment, proceed to  
the other relevant sections in this manual, namely:  
•
•
•
•
•
“Section 3 - Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB) ”  
“Section 5 - UNIX (NFS) ”  
“Section 6 - Macintosh (AFP) ”  
“Section 7 - FTP (File Transfer Protocol) ”  
“Section 8 - Web Browser (HTTP) ”  
Network Settings  
The StorPoint CD emulates both a 4.x and a 5.x NDS server and a NetWare 3.x  
bindery server. It also supports NetWare/IP and PureIP. In NetWare 5  
environments, the StorPoint CD can be integrated as any other 5.x server  
simultaneously accessed via IPX, NetWare/IP and PureIP.  
If your network supports TCP/IP, you can use the Administration Web pages to  
configure the StorPoint CD.  
NetWare Server The default NetWare server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>_NW, where <nnnnnn>  
Name are the last six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number. This is the name that  
will be presented to the NetWare clients on the network. You can change that  
name by editing the NetWare Server Name parameter.  
Recommendation!  
Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g. CDServer.  
Time Synchronization Make sure you specify the time synchronization source properly. Refer to  
“Date & Time” on page 25.

Section 4: NetWare (NCP)  
Installation as an If used as an NDS server, the StorPoint CD must first be installed in the NDS  
NDS Server tree. The most convenient way to do this is using the installation wizard  
available from the StorPoint CD Web interface, see “Wizard” on page 45.  
However, if you do not have a TCP/IP environment, you must use a text editor  
and edit the configuration file manually. Refer to “Text Editor” on page 46.  
Important! ❏ If you change any of the following parameters after installing the StorPoint  
CD in the NDS tree, you might need to repeat the installation:  
• IP address  
• Internal Net Address  
• IPX Enable  
• PureIP Enable  
• NetWare/IP  
Requirements When installing the first StorPoint CD into the NDS tree, it is recommended  
that you use an account with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree.  
The StorPoint CD will extend the NDS schema with a new attribute called  
AXIS:SPcd:rightswhich will be added to the NCP Server class. The extension  
is needed for storing file system access rights.  
The new attribute will not affect the operation of your NetWare servers. The  
schema extension has been approved by Novell as part of the YES certification of  
this product.  
Notes: ❏ Adding the schema extension requires Supervisor rights to the [Root] object  
of the NDS tree.  
❏ If you do not have Supervisor rights to [Root] or if schema extensions are  
not allowed in your NDS tree, you can store the access rights in a file on a  
NetWare file server. However, you must specify the NDS Rights Storage  
and NDS Rights File parameters properly. You will need Supervisor rights  
to the Organizational Unit (OU). After the NDS installation, you must  
create and assign access rights to the directory on the NetWare file server  
where the file is stored.  
For subsequent installations, Create rights to the context where you want to  
install the StorPoint CD will be sufficient.  
Wizard The installation wizard is a convenient way to install your StorPoint CD in the  
NetWare environment.  
1. Verify that the NDS tree is synchronized. To do that, you load  
DSREPAIR.NLMon a NetWare server console in the NDS tree and select  
Unattended full repair.  
Important! ❏ If the NDS tree is not synchronized, do not continue the installation until  
you have solved the problem.

Access Control  
The way you manage security in NetWare depends on the mode you are using:  
•
•
•
NDS mode  
Bindery mode without user authentication  
Bindery mode with user authentication  
The StorPoint CD acts as a normal NetWare file server, which means that you  
use standard tools such as ConsoleOne, NWAdmin, SYSCON and Filer for  
handling security.  
Note: ❏ You cannot set up access restrictions for the NetWare environment via the  
StorPoint CD Web interface.  
Access Restrictions in In NetWare, access rights for users in bindery mode is separate from users  
NetWare NDS accessing the StorPoint CD in NDS mode. For this reason, we recommend that  
you disable bindery mode after you have successfully installed the StorPoint CD  
in NDS and thus allow users to log on in NDS mode only.  
Note: ❏ If NDS mode is not functioning, you can always access the StorPoint CD in  
bindery mode by logging in as Supervisor. This is true even if you have  
disabled bindery mode.  
Default Access Rights The default access rights protect all the system files, which means that only users  
with Supervisor privileges on the StorPoint CD have access to those files.  
However, all users logged into NDS can access the discs. These access rights are  
set up by the following trustee assignments:  
•
•
•
All users who have NDS Supervisor privileges to the StorPoint CD server  
object, will have supervisor rights to the StorPoint CD filesystem.  
The root of the SYS volume has [Public] as trustee, with File Scan, Read,  
Write, Create, Modify and Erase rights.  
The System folder has all rights, except Supervisor, filtered. Thus all system  
files are effectively protected from normal users.  
Notes: ❏ If the default security is satisfactory to your system, simply do not change  
anything.  
❏ You can change the default trustee assignments using NWAdmin.

Section 4: NetWare (NCP)  
Setting Security Rights Because the StorPoint CD acts as a normal NDS file server, its NDS security  
in NetWare NDS rights can be set using standard procedures, e.g. ConsoleOne or NWAdmin.  
To make all the discs available to some users only, follow these steps:  
1. Login using an account with Supervisor rights.  
2. Start the NWAdmin.  
3. Remove the [Public] trustee from the root of the SYS volume.  
4. Add the new trustee assignments to the root of the SYS volume.  
To restrict access to a particular disc, follow these steps:  
1. Login using an account with Supervisor rights.  
2. Start the NWAdmin.  
3. Ontheresourceyouwanttoprotect,setaninheritedrightsfilterandfilterALL  
rights.  
4. Add the new trustee assignments to the resource. This makes it available only  
to the users in the trustee list.  
Note: ❏ The NetWare NDS access rights for the StorPoint CD can be set using  
Security Equivalence, Group, Container, Organization role, and User  
Objects as with any other NDS file server. There is no difference between  
how you use NWAdmin to set these access rights for a StorPoint CD, and  
how you would set the access rights on an NDS file server.  
NetWare Bindery If user authentication is not required, you do not have to specify an  
Without authentication server. The Supervisor can login using the Server password.  
Authentication Other users can login without password and will be considered to belong to the  
EVERYONE group.  
No NetWare server licenses are required since the StorPoint CD does not log on  
to the file server.  
If needed, you can use your standard NetWare administration tool, e.g. Filer, to  
limit access to the StorPoint CD system files to the Supervisor. Unauthorized  
users will still have guest access to the volumes. This is normally sufficient  
security for a StorPoint CD.  
NetWare Bindery If user access control is required, you must specify an authentication server in the  
With Authentication Bind Authentication parameter. The StorPoint CD will need to log on to the  
authentication server in order to authenticate the user and read which groups the  
user belongs to. In this case, the authentication server must have a standby  
license for the StorPoint CD. However, several StorPoint CDs can share this  
license.  
Important! ❏ If “Station Restrictions” are used on the Novell server used for  
authentication, each user who wants to access the StorPoint CD need at  
least two concurrent connections to the authentication server.

Section 4: NetWare (NCP)  
If a license is not available, the user will still be authenticated but group  
information cannot be read.  
The authenticated users can access the discs according to the access rights set up  
by the Administrator.  
The authentication procedure will not introduce any extra administrator  
overhead as there is no need for maintaining a separate user database for the  
StorPoint CD. If the user is defined in the file server that the StorPoint CD uses  
for authentication, the user will automatically have access to the StorPoint CD.  
Authentication to a For access to a StorPoint CD connected to a NetWare 3.x server, authentication  
NetWare 3.x Server is done against the user list in the bindery of the NetWare server:  
•
If a user is on the list, the password will be verified. If the password is  
correct, the user will be granted access.  
•
If the password is incorrect, login will fail.  
If a user is not on the list, he will not be granted access to the StorPoint CD.  
However, he could login as ‘guest’ and get access to volumes that are not  
protected.  
Default Access Rights The default access rights in NetWare bindery mode are set up by the following  
trustee assignments:  
•
The root of the SYS volume has [EVERYONE] as trustee, with File Scan,  
Read, Write, Create, Modify and Erase rights.  
•
The System folder has all rights, except Supervisor, filtered. Thus all system  
files are effectively protected from normal users.  
Note: ❏ You can use Filer to change the default access rights.  
Setting Security Rights The security rights can be set using standard procedures, e.g. Filer.  
in NetWare Bindery  
To make all the discs available to some users only, follow these steps:  
1. Login as Supervisor on the StorPoint CD. In order for Filer to access the  
StorPoint CD, the client must have an active connection.  
2. Login as Supervisor on your NetWare Bindery file server and start Filer.  
3. Change the current directory to AXIS<nnnnnn>_NW/SYS:.

Note: ❏ Per file access control is configured by using native utilities such as chown,  
chgrp and chmod, on the mounted exports.  
Accessing the Discs  
The StorPoint CD integrates into your network operating system just like any  
other file server. Thus you can use standard commands to access it.  
To access the discs from your UNIX applications, you must first mount the  
StorPoint CD to make the data available to your system. Some applications will  
not run properly unless the data is located at root level. Discs that include such  
applications must therefore be individually mounted.  
Note: ❏ You will need root privileges to mount the StorPoint CD.  
To access the StorPoint CD resources from a UNIX client, follow these steps:  
1. Create a directory for the StorPoint CD.  
mkdir <directory>  
Example:  
mkdir /storpoint_sales_dept  
2. Display the export list.  
showmount -e <IP address>  
3. Mount the resource.  
mount <IP address>:<resource> <directory>  
where <IP address>is the IP address or host name  
Example 1 (Root):  
mount 192.16.253.80:/ /storpoint_sales_dept  
Example 2 (Volumes directory):

Section 6 Macintosh (AFP)  
This section outlines the required configuration settings for running the  
StorPoint CD in the Macintosh (AFP) network environment. It also describes  
how to set up access restrictions.  
If you are using the StorPoint CD in a multiprotocol environment, proceed to  
the other relevant sections of the manual, namely:  
•
•
•
•
•
“Section 3 - Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB) ”  
“Section 4 - NetWare (NCP) ”  
“Section 5 - UNIX (NFS) ”  
“Section 7 - FTP (File Transfer Protocol) ”  
“Section 8 - Web Browser (HTTP) ”  
Network Settings  
No specific settings are required to make use of the StorPoint CD in the  
Macintosh (AFP) environment. However, you might want to change some of  
the default settings, e.g. the AFP server name or the authentication server  
settings.  
If you have set an IP address, you can use the Administration Web pages to  
configure the StorPoint CD via a standard Web browser. The installation wizard  
will guide you through the procedure. See “Wizard ” on page 73.  
If you do not use TCP/IP and Web browsers on your network, you can edit all  
the parameter settings by modifying the [AFP]section in the config.inifile.  
Note: ❏ See “Text Editor in Macintosh ” on page 20, for more information on how to  
locate and modify the config.inifile.  
AFP Protocols The StorPoint CD supports the following transport methods:  
•
•
AFP over TCP/IP - max 255 users  
AFP over AppleTalk - max 125 users  
Both protocols are enabled by default. However, you can disable the protocols  
by setting the appropriate configuration parameters.  
AFP Server Name The default AFP server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>_AT, where <nnnnnn> are the  
last six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number. This is the name that will be  
presented to the Macintosh clients on the network. You can change that name  
by editing the AFP Server Name parameter. It can be useful to choose a more  
descriptive name, e.g. in order to indicate where the unit is located, or for what it  
is used.  
Recommendation!  
Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g CD Server.

Section 6: Macintosh (AFP)  
Zone A zone is a logical grouping of AppleTalk networks on a LAN or WAN. There  
can be multiple networks within a zone and, in some cases, multiple zones  
assigned to a network segment. An AppleTalk router is responsible for assigning  
zone information to the AppleTalk networks to which it is attached. You specify  
the zone by editing the Zone Name parameter.  
Access Control Access control is used for restricting access to the shared volumes and discs on  
the StorPoint CD. In the Macintosh (AFP) environment you can select whether  
you want to use an authentication server or passwords for access control. You  
choose which method to use by enabling/disabling the Use Authentication  
Server parameter.  
Authentication Server When using an authentication server, all user names and passwords will be  
verified against the authentication server. The user will then be granted access to  
specific resources depending on the permissions set for the user names used at  
logon.  
Note: ❏ Any Macintosh computer can be defined as the Authentication Server  
provided it has file sharing enabled. This means the user names defined on  
the authentication server can be used also for the StorPoint CD.  
To use this method for access control, you must enable the Use Authentication  
Server parameter. How to specify the permissions is described in “Authentication  
Server ” on page 75.  
Passwords When using passwords, the user will be prompted for the password when trying  
to access the volume. The user will then be granted access to the volume and all  
its subfolders. You can define different passwords for specific resources.  
To use passwords for access control, the Use Authentication Server parameter  
must be disabled. This is the default setting. How to specify passwords is  
described in “Passwords ” on page 76.  
Recommendation!  
Using an authentication server for access control is the preferred method for  
Macintosh-based networks.  
Wizard The installation Wizard is a convenient way to set up your StorPoint CD for  
your Macintosh (AFP) environment. It will guide you through the following:  
•
Defining your server name and the zone you want your StorPoint CD to  
appear in.  
•
Defining how you want to control access to shared resources.  
To run the Wizard, follow the steps outlined below:  
1. Start your Web browser, and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint  
CD in the location/address field.  
2. Click admin. You will be prompted for the Server password. By default, the  
User Name is set to rootand the Server password is set to pass.

AXIS StorPoint DISCO  
AXIS StorPointTM DISCOTM is a convenient end user tool for  
finding and organizing networked CD/DVDs. It runs in the  
Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT 4 environments.  
The advantages of using AXIS StorPoint DISCO are:  
•
•
•
You can group discs from several StorPoints,  
you get easy access from the desktop,  
and an application launcher.  
However, you need to install the AXIS StorPoint DISCO software on your  
client.  
AXIS StorPoint DISCO will gather all the discs that reside on your Axis  
Network Storage Servers in a single folder under My Computer in Windows  
Explorer. As the program hides the network topography, the discs will always be  
easy to find and access. You will no longer need to browse through the entire  
Network Neighborhood in order to locate the discs you are looking for. You use  
standard Explorer functions to manipulate the discs.  
AXIS StorPoint DISCO version 2.00 is available in two types of installations:  
•
•
Standalone  
Client/Server  
Standalone The standalone version gives all the users full functionality and allows all users to  
view all the discs on the network. For small workplaces or single users, this is the  
recommended setup.  
Client/Server The client/server version is divided into one server part and one client part. First  
the administrator will install the server version locally. The administrator then  
organizes discs and launch objects (see “Launch Objects” on page 96) into a  
number of public folders. When the client part has been installed on the client  
users’ computers, the user can select which public folders to use according to  
their needs. For larger workplaces with a central system administration and  
many shared discs, this is the recommended setup. See “Client Installation” on  
page 100.  
Installing the Software Follow these steps to install AXIS StorPoint DISCO:

Start programs and documents from anywhere on the network  
Automatically map and unmap drive letters  
Initiate a series of actions related to the launched application, e.g. displaying  
message boxes, parameter lists and file selection dialogs.  
By doing this, programs can be customized to the user’s needs at startup. A user  
might for example want to start a word processor with a specific document  
template and then save the result on a specific file server on the network. The  
launch object could then map the file server automatically and open a file  
selection dialog where the user selects the document template.

Mapping Discs It is useful and sometimes necessary to assign (map) a drive letter to a shared  
networked resource that you connect to often. Some software will not run  
properly unless it finds data at root level.  
Within AXIS StorPoint DISCO, drives letters can be mapped to discs manually  
or automatically.  
Manual Mapping To map a disc manually, follow these steps:  
1. Locate the disc you want to be mapped.  
2. Right-click the disc and select Map Disc... from the drop-down menu.  
3. Select a drive letter for connecting to the disc. The next available drive letter  
is selected automatically. To specify a different drive letter, type the letter or  
select one in the list.  
4. If you use the resource often, check Reconnect at logon to make the  
connection each time you start your computer.  
5. Click OK.  
Automatic Mapping Automatic mapping (AutoMapping) allows mapping to be performed  
automatically when you access a disc. With this feature, several discs can share  
the same drive letter dynamically. Only the most recently accessed disc will be  
mapped to the drive letter.  
AXIS StorPoint DISCO provides two methods for automatic mapping of your  
networked discs:  
•
•
General settings for all discs within an AutoMap folder.  
Specific settings for each particular disc within your personal folders.

Section 11: Hard Disk Caching  
Section 11 Hard Disk Caching  
Note: ❏ The Basic versions of the StorPoint CD do not support hard disk caching.  
This section describes how to use hard disk caching with your StorPoint CD.  
Hard disk caching means that the  
inserted discs can be copied to a  
StorPoint CD  
hard disk attached to the SCSI bus  
or the IDE bus.  
The caching mechanism of the  
Hard disk  
StorPoint CD involves both  
directory caching and complete  
mirroring (copying). It allows  
users to access the networked discs  
at hard disk speed.  
You manage the hard disk caching  
facility via the StorPoint CD Web  
interface.  
Disc Changers Because of the relatively long time needed to change discs in a changer, the data  
transfer rate may become unacceptably low when two users simultaneously  
attempt to read different discs. Hard disk caching will thus significantly increase  
the access speed if you are using changers.  
Archiving The hard disk caching facility allows you to archive the cached discs, i.e. keep  
the cached discs stored on the hard disk even if the original discs are ejected from  
the drives. You can archive up to 255 volumes.  
Capacity The number of discs that can be cached depends on the size of the hard disks as  
well as the size of the individual discs. About 90% of the disk space can be used  
for caching. For example, a 4.3 GB hard disk will allow six 650-MB discs to be  
cached. However, if each disc contains only 100 MB, about 38 discs can be  
cached on the hard disk.  
A 650 MB disc is cached on the hard disk in less than six minutes.  
Note: ❏ Avoid turning off the power supply during hard disk caching. However,  
should this happen, the StorPoint CD will restart caching the disc/discs  
automatically when the power supply has been restored.

Section 11: Hard Disk Caching  
Caching Options Hard disk caching with the StorPoint CD has two main purposes:  
•
•
Increasing performance  
Archiving discs on the hard disk  
Performance Caching For performance caching, you specify the cache mode on the Server Settings |  
Change... | Caching page. These options are available:  
•
•
None - The disc will not be cached.  
Partial - Information about the directory structure and files are cached on to  
the hard disk, but no actual data. This speeds up the directory browsing,  
especially with the use of disc changers. Optionally select how much space  
to allocate to file caching. The file cache is a separated part on a hard disk  
where disc files may be cached. The more hard disk space allocated to file  
caching, the larger files can be stored in the file cache.  
•
Mirror - A copy of the disc is created on the hard disk, and thus increasing  
performance, especially with multiple users or frequent access of multiple  
files. This method takes more time to carry out when a new disc is inserted.  
The mirroring will be performed in the background. Until a disc has been  
completely cached on the hard disk, the disc will be accessible from the disc  
drive. If there is not enough room on the hard disk to mirror all required  
discs, it is advisable to only mirror the most frequently used discs and enable  
the file cache. The most frequently used non-mirrored disc files will then be  
placed in the file cache. The file caching option is only available for Partial  
caching.  
For more information, see “Using Hard Disk Caching for Increased Performance ”  
on page 105.  
Archiving Discs The archiving option is only available from the Discs & Drives page:  
•
Archive - This option does the same as Mirror and in addition saves the  
created image on the hard disk. The archived disc is accessible to the users  
even if the original disc has been ejected from the drive. Archiving can be  
performed manually or automatically for one or more drives.  
For more information, see “Using Hard Disk Caching for Archiving Discs ” on  
page 106.

Section 11: Hard Disk Caching  
Verifying the Hard Disk  
The caching facility requires at least one hard disk to be connected to the SCSI  
bus or the IDE bus. The StorPoint CD will automatically format hard disks and  
use them for hard disk caching. You can connect up to six or seven hard disks to  
your StorPoint CD depending on model.  
Follow these steps to verify that a valid hard disk is connected to your StorPoint  
CD:  
1. Start your Web browser and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint  
CD in the location/address field.  
2. Click admin. You will be prompted for the Server username and password. By  
default, this is set to rootand pass. To change the Server password, see  
“Server Password ” on page 24.  
3. On the Server Settings page, click the hard disk icon  
to verify that the  
StorPoint CD has detected a hard disk that can be used for hard disk caching.  
Information about the hard disk will be displayed to the right.  
If the hard disk has been used before and includes a partition table it needs to be  
formatted before it can be used for hard disk caching. Click Format to do that.  
The formatting will remove all the information currently cached on the hard  
disk. This is not something you would normally want to do.

SNMP  
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote  
monitoring of the StorPoint CD.  
General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including a  
protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. The  
StorPoint CD SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP environment.  
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System) software  
running on a host on your network. The NMS software communicates with  
network devices by the means of messages, which are references to one or more  
objects.  
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm triggered  
by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data bases called MIBs  
(Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a standard database.  
The StorPoint CD supports all relevant parts of MIB-II. It also includes a  
private enterprise MIB, the AXIS MIB, which is described below.  
System Requirements In order to make full use of the SNMP support, you will need an NMS software  
that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs.

Appendix A: Parameter List  
Directory Structure  
The StorPoint CD will appear to your system as a file server. Like any other file  
server it has a directory structure where files are stored. The directory structure  
of the StorPoint CD is outlined below:  
System  
DeviceProperties  
Flash  
Root  
or  
ServerProperties  
VolumeProperties  
SYS  
Volumes  
Disc1  
Disc2  
Disc3  
....  
The purpose of each folder is explained on the following pages.  
The System folder The System folder includes configuration information about the StorPoint CD,  
e.g. configuration settings, connected drives, inserted discs, access rights etc. It  
contains these subfolders:  
•
•
•
•
DeviceProperties - Includes one text file for each connected drive, i.e.  
CD/DVD-ROM drives and hard disks.  
Flash - When updating the firmware, the file with the latest firmware  
version is copied into this subfolder.  
ServerProperties - Includes the configuration parameter list, event log and  
statistics files.  
VolumeProperties - When a disc is inserted into a connected drive, a text  
file for that disc will be created. If specified, the volume name will be used.  
If no volume name has been specified, the volume label will be used instead.  
If the disc does not have a volume label, the StorPoint CD will use a unique  
eight digit number. If the disc is blank or uses an unknown file system, the  
text file will be named unknown##.txt.

Appendix A: Parameter List  
The Volumes Folder When a disc is inserted into a connected drive, a subfolder for that volume will  
be created in the Volumes folder. The files on that disc are accessed through this  
folder. By default, the Volumes folder is available to all users. However, the  
Administrator can set a password to protect it.  
The names of the subfolders found under the Volumes folder will comply with  
the following rules:  
•
•
If the Administrator has specified a volume name, this name will be used.  
If no volume name has been specified, the volume label held on the disc will  
be used.  
•
•
If the disc does not have a volume label, and no volume name has been set,  
the StorPoint CD will automatically allocate a name of the form  
cd_<nnnnnnnnn>, where <nnnnnnnn> is a unique eight digit number.  
If two inserted discs have the same volume name, the StorPoint CD will add  
the suffix _a to the name of the second one. If two inserted discs are  
identical, the StorPoint CD will mount only the first one.  
Often the volume label is not a good representation of the disc contents. A  
volume name is a convenient way of setting a more significant or recognizable  
name.  
Important! ❏ If you wish to run an application that is stored on a disc or searches for its  
associated files on a disc, you cannot set a volume name because the  
application will not recognize that name.  
Editing the Configuration Parameters  
Web Browser If your network supports TCP/IP, you can display and edit the StorPoint CD  
parameter list using a standard Web browser:  
•
•
Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or higher, or  
Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher  
Note: ❏ You must first assign a valid IP address as described in “Assigning an IP  
Address ” on page 13.  
To access the StorPoint CD Home Page from your Web browser, you simply  
enter the URL of the StorPoint CD, i.e. the name or IP address, in the  
location/address field.  
Example:  
http://192.16.253.80

ftp <IP address>  
where <IP address>is the name or IP address of your StorPoint CD.  
2. You will be prompted for user id and password. Use the user id root, which  
has the default password pass.  
3. Windows 95 only: Change directory not to overwrite any of your system files.  
See the caution note below.  
4. Change to the directory where the configuration file is located:  
cd System/ServerProperties  
5. To access the configuration file, type:  
get config.ini  
6. Edit the configfile using any text editor. In the Windows 95/98 and  
Windows NT environments, you can for example use Notepad. Once the  
editing is complete, save the file as config.  
7. To upload the configuration file to the StorPoint CD, type  
put config.ini  
8. To exit FTP, type the command quit, bye, or exit.  
Caution! ❏ Windows 95 has a directory called configthat contains important system  
files. It is therefore important to change to another directory using the cd  
command before modifying your StorPoint CD configuration file from  
within the Windows 95 environment. Failure to do this may result in some  
of your system files to be overwritten.

Errors when Accessing the StorPoint CD or an Inserted Disc  
If you get error messages when trying to access the StorPoint CD or a disc:  
LED Indicators Consult the error table in section “Error Conditions ” on page 130 to see if the  
front panel indicators can help you identify the problem.  
SCSI Chain Check the SCSI chain and ensure that all the drives are switched on and that  
only the last unit is terminated.  
IDE Connector Check that no device has been configured as Slave with no Master and ensure  
that all the drives are switched on.  
IP Address If using TCP/IP, make sure that you have assigned a unique and valid IP address  
to the StorPoint CD. If you have changed the IP address, try restarting the  
StorPoint CD.  
SMB Protocol In the Microsoft & IBM networking environments, verify that the SMB  
protocol is enabled.  
WINS Database If using WINS, check that the StorPoint CD is registered in the WINS database.  
If it is, there is probably a problem with the name resolution on your network.  
NDS Installation If you have changed any of the following parameters after installing the  
StorPoint CD in the NDS tree, you might need to repeat the installation in  
order to connect to the StorPoint CD:  
• IP address  
• Internal Net Address  
• IPX Enable  
• PureIP Enable  
Discs Check that the disc is not scratched or damaged in any way. Verify that the disc  
works when inserted into the CD drive of a regular PC. If you are using packet  
writing software or DVDs, make sure that the disc has an ISO 9660 compatible  
header.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting  
Problems Finding a Wide-SCSI Hard Disk  
The StorPoint CD is a narrow (8-bit) device. However, most hard disks are wide  
(16-bit) devices.  
When you connect a wide-SCSI hard disk to your StorPoint CD, you will need  
an active converter in order to terminate the high data byte.  
Important! ❏ Make sure the converter actively terminates the high byte. Do not use the  
converter on the last device in the SCSI chain. The last device should be a  
narrow device, e.g. a CD/DVD drive.  
Low Transfer Rates when Using Disc Changers  
Disc changer flutter can occur if a user requests access to a disc when another  
user is already reading data from another disc. The changer may then attempt to  
service both requests by repeatedly changing between the two discs and  
transferring a small amount of data each time. Because of the relatively long time  
needed to change discs, the data transfer rate to both users will become  
unacceptably low.  
The JukeBox Lock Time parameter in the StorPoint CD configuration file  
specifies how long a user has exclusive access to a disc during a data read  
operation. This is to prevent disc change flutter in order to optimize access speed  
when many users are accessing different discs in the same changer.  
The JukeBox Lock Time parameter will ensure that when there are simultaneous  
requests for access to different discs, a sizable block of data is transferred to each  
user before the access is changed.  
•
If the JukeBox Lock Time parameter is set too low, the data transfer rate will  
be unacceptably low.  
•
If the JukeBox Lock Time parameter is set too high, the disc drive will time-  
out on a second user’s request before the first user’s access is completed. This  
will result in users receiving a ‘CD-ROM not available’ notice.  
The default setting is 0 seconds which disables this function.  
Note: ❏ If you attach a hard disk drive to the StorPoint CD SCSI bus or IDE bus,  
you can benefit from the hard disk caching facility described in “Section 11  
- Hard Disk Caching ” .

Appendix B: Troubleshooting  
Problems Running CD-ROM Software  
Drive Letter Mapping If you have inserted a CD-ROM successfully, but the software on it refuses to  
run or produces error messages, the software may expect the CD-ROM data to  
be at root level. This is often the case with installation programs.  
In the NetWare and Microsoft & IBM networking environments, you then  
need to map that disc to a drive letter of its own. In NetWare, the Show All  
Volumes parameter must be enabled.  
MSCDEX Driver Some CD-ROMs, e.g. the single user version of “Computer Select”, requires the  
MSCDEX (Microsoft CD-ROM Extension) driver. The volume is usually  
released in a network version as well. Axis has developed two MSCDEX  
emulation programs:  
•
•
AXCDEX for Windows 95  
AXISCDEX for Windows for Workgroups  
The required software is available on the Axis Web Site at  
http://www.axis.com/products/software. The MSCDEX emulation makes a  
CD-ROM on the StorPoint CD look as if it was locally connected to the PC.  
Single User Version If the CD-ROM is a single user version, refer to your software license for the  
terms of use. You can restrict the number of simultaneous users to one by setting  
the User Limit parameter. Refer to “General Disc Settings ” on page 34.  
Default Names Some applications look for information on the CD-ROM using its default name  
- if you have set a volume name it may not recognize the disc and fail to run.  
Difficulties Locating the StorPoint CD in NetWare  
There are basically two different frame types on Ethernet networks, Ethernet II  
or IEEE 802.3. The IEEE 802.3 frame can be encapsulated in an IEEE 802.2  
LLC frame or a SNAP frame. All four frame types are enabled by default with  
the value auto, which means that your StorPoint CD automatically adapts to  
the frame type used on the network. This will meet most requirements. Frame  
types that are not in use in your network will not be used by the StorPoint CD.  
However, depending on your network, you may want the StorPoint CD not to  
operate on some frame types. If your network has multiple sections with  
different frame types on some of the sections, then the StorPoint CD might log  
on to the wrong network section and adapt to a frame type incompatible with  
the intended network section. For this reason, you have the option to disable  
those frame types by changing the parameter from autoto off.  
Alternatively, it is possible to use the eight digit network number appropriate to  
your segment of the network, in the form xx-xx-xx-xx (e.g. 00-3F-B5-01). In all  
normal cases this will not be necessary since autodetection will handle most  
cases. However, this must be done by directly editing the config.inifile  
located in the System/ServerPropertiesfolder using a text editor. Although  
you cannot enter the network number from a Web browser, you can display the  
frame type and change the value to autoor off, if required.

Problems Connecting to the StorPoint CD in a PureIP Environment  
SLP Parameters In the PureIP environment, make sure your StorPoint CD is properly  
configured for SLP. SLP (Service Location Protocol) is a protocol for locating  
resources in IP networks.  
You can specify a SLP scope list and directory agents for the StorPoint CD.  
From the StorPoint CD Web interface, you find the SLP settings on the  
Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP page.  
Note: ❏ If you are using DHCP on your network, the SLP parameters can also be  
included in the DHCP scope. However, we recommend that you specify the  
SLP settings in the StorPoint CD parameter list instead.  
Time Synchronization Make sure you have specified the time synchronization source properly. Note  
that in the PureIP environment, you cannot use SAP for automatic time  
synchronization. You can specify the name or IP address of the time server. You  
find the time source setting on the Network Settings | Detailed View |  
NetWare page.  
Insufficient Access Rights in NetWare NDS  
When you install the first StorPoint CD in the NDS tree, the StorPoint CD will  
extend the NDS Schema with a new attribute. This is needed in order to store  
the NDS access rights in the NDS tree. To carry out the schema extension, you  
must use user account with Supervisor rights to [Root] object of the NDS tree.  
If you do not have Supervisor rights or if schema extensions are not allowed in  
your NDS tree, you can instead store the NDS access rights in a file on a Novell  
file server.  
Follow these steps:  
1. Create a directory on the Novell server where you want to store the access  
rights.  
2. Make sure that your NDS tree is synchronized.  
3. Install the StorPoint CD as described in “Installation as an NDS Server ” on  
page 45. Make sure you set the NDS Rights Storage parameter to File and  
specify the name of the file where you want to store the access rights on the  
Novell file server.  
4. Logout and login again in order to obtain all the necessary rights on the  
StorPoint CD server object.  
5. Start NWAdmin. The server object just created will appear in the context  
where you installed the StorPoint CD.  
6. Add the StorPoint CD server object as a trustee with Read, Write, Create,  
Erase, Modify and File Scan rights to the directory where you want to store  
the access rights.  
The StorPoint CD will create the file once you start adding trustees.

Name Resolution Problems in Windows (SMB)  
If you cannot find your StorPoint CD on your Windows (SMB) network, the  
reason might be a name resolution problem.  
Find Computer When you have installed the StorPoint CD, it takes a while before it shows up in  
the browser list in Network Neighborhood. You can either just wait for the  
browser list to be updated, or you can accelerate the process using the Find  
Computer function available in Windows 95/98 and NT. Alternatively, you can  
perform a manual mapping, e.g. use the command NET USE X:  
\\AXISnnnnnn\Volumes.  
Flush Name Cache Use the command NBTSTAT -Rto flush your machine’s name cache.  
Workgroup Note that the StorPoint CD cannot be a master browser server in a workgroup.  
It is not possible to place the StorPoint CD or a group of StorPoint CD servers  
in a single workgroup without Windows machines running file and/or print  
sharing.  
Use WINS or If you are using NBT and try to access the StorPoint CD over a router, e.g. the  
LMHOST StorPoint CD is located on a segment remote from your computer, you must  
use WINS or LMHOST. The recommended method is WINS. Provided that  
you have set the WINS parameters correctly, you should be able to access the  
StorPoint CD over routers. If this fails, check the following:  
1. Make sure the StorPoint CD has been registered in your WINS database  
located on the Windows NT server. If the StorPoint CD is registered and  
you still cannot see or access it over the Network Neighborhood, you  
probably have other name resolution problems on your network.  
2. PingtheunitviaitsIPaddresstomakesurethatyouhaveTCP/IPconnectivity.  
3. Ping the unit using the SMB server name (NetBIOS) to check that the name  
resolution works.  
4. IfyouareusingWINS,trya“staticmapping”whereyouconnecttheIPaddress  
of the StorPoint CD to its NetBIOS name. Note that if you used DHCP, you  
should adda reservationwhere youconnect the MAC address ofthe StorPoint

Appendix D: Tower and Drive Installation  
Connecting the Drives to the StorPoint CD  
A single StorPoint CD can service up to 7, 8 or 14 CD/DVD-ROM drives or up  
to six or seven hard disks, depending on model.  
•
SCSI Server - The SCSI bus allows 7 drives to be connected to the  
StorPoint CD. Each unit on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI  
address. To work properly, the bus must be electrically terminated at both  
ends.  
If you want to use the hard disk caching facility, you must connect 1 to 6  
hard disk units to the StorPoint CD. The StorPoint CD will automatically  
format the hard disks detected on the SCSI bus.  
•
IDE Server - The IDE bus allows 8 drives to be connected to the StorPoint  
CD. Each unit on the IDE bus must be assigned as Master or Slave.  
If you want to use the hard disk caching facility, you must connect 1 to 7  
hard disk units to the StorPoint CD. The StorPoint CD will automatically  
format the hard disks detected on the IDE bus.  
Caution! ❏ Always make sure that power is not connected to the StorPoint CD or any  
of the drives when making changes to the SCSI chain. The SCSI bus or IDE  
bus may become damaged if you connect or disconnect any units when the  
power is on.  
Dual SCSI Version It is recommended that the dual SCSI version of StorPoint CD is installed in a  
14 bay tower, i.e. all the drives are housed in the same enclosure with the SCSI  
cables built-in.  
Note: ❏ However, if you are using two separate towers, we recommend that the cable  
from the StorPoint CD to the second tower complies with the following  
maximum cable length requirements:  
• The cable from the StorPoint CD to the connector leaving the first  
tower should not exceed 60 cm.  
• The cable connecting the two towers should not exceed 50 cm.  
Connecting the To connect the SCSI drives to the StorPoint CD, follow these steps:  
SCSI Drives  
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the StorPoint CD.  
2. Connect the SCSI cable to the drive(s).  
3. Set a unique SCSI address 0 through 6 for each of the connected drives. The  
dual SCSI version has two separate buses with addresses 0 through 6 available  
on each. Refer to the drive documentation for instructions on how to set the  
SCSI address on your drives.  
Note: ❏ The SCSI address of the StorPoint CD is 7, and cannot be changed.

Appendix D: Tower and Drive Installation  
4. Connect an external, preferably active, SCSI terminator to the last drive in the  
SCSI chain. If there is only one drive, it is the last one in the chain and must  
be terminated. The StorPoint CD has built-in SCSI termination which is  
alwaysswitchedon.Therefore, theservermustbephysicallylocatedatoneend  
of the chain. This is the case for both the single and dual SCSI versions.  
Note: ❏ Do not terminate the drives placed between the StorPoint CD and the last  
drive.  
5. Switch the power on to the whole of the tower.  
6. The StorPoint CD front panel indicators will flash during power-on and self-  
test. When the Status indicator stops flashing and turns solid green, the  
StorPoint CD is ready for use.  
Connecting the To connect the IDE drives to the StorPoint CD, follow these steps:  
IDE Drives  
1. Connect the IDE cable to the IDE connector on the StorPoint CD.  
2. Connect the IDE cable to the drive(s).  
3. Assign each of the connected drives to Master or Slave. Refer to the drive  
documentation for instructions on how to set the device type for your drives.  
Notes: ❏ The server must be physically located at one end of the cable.  
❏ Do not set two drives to master or slave on the same IDE bus.  
4. Switch the power on to the whole of the tower.  
5. The StorPoint CD front panel indicators will flash during power-on and self-  
test. When the Status indicator stops flashing and turns solid green, the

servers, and servers use NCP to provide services, such as file and print services.  
NDS NetWare Directory Services. Manages network resources such as NetWare  
servers and volumes.  
NIS Network Information Services. The security and file-access databases on UNIX  
systems, previously known as Yellow Pages.  
NTP Network Time Protocol. Used by Internet time servers and their peers to  
synchronize clocks, as well as automatically organize and maintain the time  
synchronization subnet itself.  
RARP Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol governing the  
translation of a Data-Link Control (DLC) address to an IP address. A request  
made to an active RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet Address Table  
for an entry matching the unit’s Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found,  
the daemon then downloads the IP address to the device. RARP operates within  
a single network segment only, i.e. it does not work over routers.  
RISC Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A processor that recognizes only a limited  
number of assembly-language instructions.  
SAP Service Advertising Protocol. A network name advertising service that e.g. file  
servers can use for advertising their existence to network clients.  
SCSI Small Computer System Interface. A high-speed parallel interface, used to  
connect a computer to peripheral devices using just one port.  
SLP Service Location Protocol. A protocol used for advertising and discovering  
network services, e.g. printers and CD servers.  
SMB Server Message Blocks. A protocol that makes use of NetBIOS.  
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol for managing and  
monitoring nodes on a network.  
TCP Transmission Control Protocol. The connection-oriented, transport-level  
protocol used in the TCP/IP suite of protocols.  
UDF Universal Disk Format. A specification developed by OSTA (Optical Storage  
Technology Association) for use in optical storage devices. The file format for  
DVD.

Appendix F: Glossary  
UNIX A 32-bit multitasking, multiuser operating system originally developed by  
AT&T.  
URL Uniform Resource Locator. A way of specifying the location of publicly available  
information on the Internet.  
WINS Windows Internet Name Service. Allows Windows-based clients to locate  
NetBIOS resources on TCP/IP networks. When using TCP/IP, the computer  
name must be resolved to an IP address. WINS is designed to eliminate the need  
for broadcasts in order to resolve computer names to IP addresses. It provides a  
dynamic database that maintains computer name to IP address mappings.  
Wizard A form of user assistance that automates a task through a dialog with the user in  
order to speed up operation. These tasks are typically complex and require  
experience.
