Section 1 Introduction
AXIS StorPoint CD E100
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD-ROM drives, 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 CD-ROM tower. An
IDE version, a single and 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, it is possible to format
and finalize CD/R and CD/RW discs from the StorPoint CD Web interface.
This table lists the maximum number of drives and discs that can be managed by
a single unit:
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 or
writing to recordable discs. Thus, all information in this document relating
to these functions does not apply to the Basic versions.

Features and Benefits
File Server
Independence
The StorPoint CD is connected as a node in a 10 or 100 Mbit Ethernet
network. To the network the StorPoint CD acts as a file server. 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:
•NCP over IPX
• NCP over IPX/UDP (NetWare IP)
• NCP over TCP/IP (PureIP)
• SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI
• SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP
• NFS over UDP/IP
• HTTP over TCP/IP
• AFP over AppleTalk
• AFP over TCP/IP.
Section 1: Introduction
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 9
Internet/Intranet
Web Server
The built-in Web server makes it possible to access data via any standard Web
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
Management
The StorPoint CD supports the Simple Network Management Protocol,
SNMP.
Year 2000 The StorPoint CD is year 2000 compliant.
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.
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.

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 Acquire 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.
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.

Methods for Setting
the IP Address
You can set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your
network operating environment:
Note:
When the IP address has been successfully assigned to your StorPoint CD,
you can set the ProtectIP parameter to
yes in 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.ini file located in the System/ServerProperties folder. 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:
Note:
On a Class C network, you can enter simply
where
<xxxxxx> are the last six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number
and
<ip4> is the last group of the desired IP address.

Section 2: Installing the StorPoint CD
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 15
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 IP address from the subnet.
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 on the screen.
When finished, the AXIS IP Installer will be available from your Start menu. To

ARP in Windows 95,
Windows 98 and
Windows NT
Perform the following commands to download the IP address and verify correct
Internet communication in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
Start a DOS window and type the following command:
Syntax Windows 95
where
<my PC IP address> is the IP address of your Windows 95 PC.
Example Windows 95
Syntax Windows 98 and Windows NT
Example Windows 98 and Windows NT
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
arp command 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 one
hour.
Please note that when you execute the ping command 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.
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> <my PC IP address>

DHCP in
Windows NT,
NetWare and UNIX
Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:
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.ini file.

StorPoint CD in the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) network environment, i.e.
Windows 95/98, 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)
28 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
User-level
Access Control
User-level access control allows you to define rights for discs/volumes based on
as whom the user logged into the domain. 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
Access Control
Share-level access control is based on different passwords for different shared
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

AXIS StorPointTM DISCO
TM
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.
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 46) 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 49.

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 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 5.0 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
Name
The default NetWare server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>_NW, where <nnnnnn>
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. It is useful to choose a
more descriptive name, e.g. in order to indicate where the unit is located.
Recommendation!
Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g. CD Server.
Time Synchronization Make sure you specify the time synchronization source properly. Refer to
“Date & Time” on page 25.
Section 4: NetWare (NCP)
52 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
Installation as an
NDS Server
If used as an NDS server, the StorPoint CD must first be installed in the NDS
tree. The most convenient way to do this is using the installation wizard
available from the StorPoint CD Web interface, see “Wizard” on page 52.
However, if you do not have TCP/IP, you must use a text editor and edit the
configuration file manually. Refer to “Text Editor” on page 53.
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
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:rights which will be added to the NCP Server. The extension is
needed for storing configuration data. The StorPoint CD also becomes easier to
administrate and more fault tolerant to changes in your NDS tree.
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.NLM on 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.
2. Start your Web browser, and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint CD
in the location/address field.

Section 4: NetWare (NCP)
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 57
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 procedures such as 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
NetWare NDS
In NetWare, access rights for users in bindery mode is separate from users
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:
• The Supervisor right from the NDS tree is inherited to all the volumes on
the StorPoint CD. All users who have Supervisor privileges in the context in
which the StorPoint CD was installed will also have Supervisor privileges on
the StorPoint CD.
• 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)
58 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
Setting Security Rights
in NetWare NDS
Because the StorPoint CD acts as a normal NDS file server, its NDS security
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. On the resource you want to protect, set an inherited rights filter and filter ALL
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
Without
Authentication
If user authentication is not required, you do not have to specify an
authentication server. The Supervisor can login using the Server password.
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
With Authentication
If user access control is required, you must specify an authentication server in the
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)
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 59
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
NetWare 3.x Server
For access to a StorPoint CD connected to a NetWare 3.x server, authentication
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
in NetWare Bindery
The security rights can be set using standard procedures, e.g. Filer.
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:.
4. Remove the [EVERYONE] trustee from the root.
5. Add a new trustee assignment to the root.
To restrict access to a particular disc, 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:.
Section 4: NetWare (NCP)
60 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
4. On the resource you want to protect, set an inherited rights filter and filter ALL
rights.
5. Add the new trustee assignment to the resource. This makes it available only
to the users in the trustee list.
Note:
The NetWare bindery access rights for the StorPoint CD can be set using
Group and User Objects as with any other file server.
You can always access the StorPoint CD using the user name Supervisor and
the password specified by the Server Password parameter. By default the
password is
pass.

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 79.
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.ini file.
Note:
See “Text Editor in Macintosh ” on page 20, for more information on how to
locate and modify the
config.ini file.
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.

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 81.
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 82.
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.

Section 10: Hard Disk Caching
96 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
Section 10 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
hard disk attached to the SCSI bus
or the IDE bus.
The caching mechanism of the
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.
Hard disk
StorPoint CD
Section 10: Hard Disk Caching
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 97
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 This StorPoint |
Server Settings | 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 99.
Archiving Discs The archiving option is only available from the Discs & Drives page:
• Archive - This option does the same as Mirror and in addition makes the
created image persistent on the hard disk. The archived disc will be
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 100.
Section 10: Hard Disk Caching
98 AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual
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 root and pass. To change the Server password, see
“Server Password ” on page 24.
3. On the This StorPoint 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.
4. 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.

size of the file cache from the drop down list.
5. Make the required selections by checking the appropriate checkboxes. Click
Save.
New discs will automatically be cached according to this setting when
inserted.
Notes:
If the cache mode has been set to Mirror, but there is not enough disk space
or the Do not automatically mirror or archive discs larger than xxx MB
option has been set to smaller than the current disc size, the cache mode for
the disc will be Partial. Consequently, some of the files on the disc may be
placed in the file cache.
You can click the Clear All Disks button to clear the hard disk cache of
data.
