Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.

Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the following:

1Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater 2High humidity or dust 3Proximity to bathroom or kitchen 4Exposure to spotlight 5Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a

refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.

6Uneven or unsteady installation surface 7Difficulty of service and maintenance

If you install the system close to a wall, be sure to leave a space between the wall and the system so that the rear of the system is accessible.

CAUTION

7This unit contains a hard disk drive and must

not be exposed to shock.

7Do not turn off the power when the disk drive is

running, especially not during caching (when data is written to the disk). The front panel HDD indicator shows hard disk operation. See page 8 for details.

7Do not connect a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive

other than a Pioneer drive to the SCSI terminal on the rear panel. Do not connect this terminal to a SCSI controller as this could cause malfunction or breakdown.

Handling precautions

÷Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint,

etc., on the signal surface, or recording surface of the discs. The specified playback performance or recording performance may not be obtained with such discs.

÷The unit can accommodate only the discs with a

diameter of 12 cm (4.72").

÷Since the disc rotates at a high speed in the unit,

vibrations or noise may be generated as a result. Note that this is not a malfunction and that it will not exert adverse effects on the performance of the unit.

Condensation

If the temperature difference between the unit and environment is too large, water will condense in the unit and the system may not provide proper performance. For example, if you bring the unit into a warm room from outside in cold weather, or if you increase room temperature abruptly, condensation may result. If condensation occurs, leave the unit for one hour in the room, or increase room temperature gradually before using it.

Handling the discs

Use only those discs which display the mark shown th the right.

Avoid touching the signal surface when you use a disc

÷To hold it, place your fingers on the edge of the disc

or the edge of the center hole and the disc edge

Do not attach paper or stickers to the label side of the disc Handle discs carefully and avoid damaging the label

÷Discs rotate at high speed in the unit. Do not use

defective discs (e.g., cracked or considerably warped) as such discs may damage the unit

CAUTION RE: USE OF SHAPED CD’s

7This product is designed for use with

conventional, fully circular CD’s only

7Use of shaped CD’s is not recommended for

this product

7Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in

connection with the use of shaped CD’s

Disc care

÷Fingerprints or dust on the disc will not directly

influence the recorded signals. However, sound quality may decline since such contamination diminishes the intensity of the light reflected from the signal side. Therefore, discs should be kept clean. When you clean a disc, use a soft cloth and carefully wipe towards the outer edge of the disc.

÷If the disc is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a

soft cloth soaked with water. Wipe excess water off with a dry cloth.

÷Do not use an aresol record cleaner or antistatic

agent. Donot use benzine, thinner or similar volatile chemicals as they may damage the disc surface.

Disc storage

÷CDs are made of plastic, like conventional audio

records. Take proper care to prevent discs from warping. Always put them in a case and store vertically away from humidity or extremes of temperature. Do not leave your discs in a car for a long periods.

÷Read the instructions supplied with the discs.

Handling Precautions

Cleaning the magazine

Clean the magazine with a soft dry cloth. If it becomes dirty, wipe th w dirt away gently with a damp, soft cloth soaked in a solution of water with a few drops of mild detergent. If there is any moisture on the unit after cleaning, dry it off with a soft, dry cloth. Let the magazine cartridge air dry thoroughly before inserting discs or placing it in the unit.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the panel and the cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a soft cloth soaked in a neutral detergent diluted 5 to 6 times. Then wipe the water off with a dry cloth.

Basic Installation

This section includes the basic setup procedures for getting your PIONEER Network Cache Changer DRM6NX up and running:

÷Connecting the DRM-6NX to the network ÷Assigning an Internet address ÷Setting basic system parameters

You must configure the DRM-6NX and set up the appropriate access restrictions for your specific network environment. Proceed to the relevant sections of the manual:

÷pp. 18 – 19 - Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB) ÷pp. 20 – 24 - NetWare (NCP) ÷pp. 25 – 26 - UNIX (NFS) ÷pp. 27 – 28 - Web (HTTP)

Connecting the Network Cache Changer to the Network

Before you begin

Always consult the Network Administrator before making changes to the network configuration.

Procedure

To connect the DRM-6NX to your network, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the power

2.Connect the network cable to the appropriate connector

3.Turn on the power

The DRM-6NX front panel indicators will flash during power-on and self-test. When the Status indicator stops flashing and remains off, the DRM-6NX is ready for use.

Basic Installation

Assigning an Internet Address

The DRM-6NX supports HTTP over TCP/IP, which means that it works as a web server available to the Internet and intranets. To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must assign an appropriate Internet address to your DRM-6NX as an address assignment is required to access the DRM-6NX web interface.

You can set the Internet address of the DRM-6NX Changer using either DHCP, ARP, RARP or BOOTP. All methods are enabled by default. Each Method is described below:

DHCP

DHCP is available in Windows NT and UNIX. It operates on the entire network and allows for automatic but temporary assignment of Internet addresses from a central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the selected host to automatically allocate and download a free Internet address, default router address and subnet mask to the requesting DRM-6NX. It also provides validation data that defines how long the Internet addresses will remain valid.

ARP

ARP is available in Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIX and OS/2. It requires the Internet address for each new device to be downloaded individually. It is not appropriate to use this method over routers.

Before you begin

Make sure that the DRM-6NX is powered up and connected to the network.

Internet Address

Obtain an address from the Network Administrator.

System Privileges

You will require or

Administrator

Root

privileges on the UNIX system

privileges on the Windows NT servers.

Ethernet Address

Depending upon the selected method, you will need to know the Ethernet address of your DRM-6NX. The Ethernet address is based upon the internal network board serial number found on the attached label.

Important!

Do not use the default (192.36.253.80) or example Internet address when installing your DRM-6NX. Always consult the Network Administrator before assigning an Internet address.

Mapping a Host Name to the Internet Address

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired Internet address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform name mapping on the particular system.

RARP

RARP is available in UNIX. It downloads the Internet address to each device automatically. This method requires a RARP daemon on your system and operates within a single network segment only.

BOOTP

BOOTP is available in UNIX and is similar to RARP although it can operate on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on the system. A request made to an active BOOTP or RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet address table (RARP daemon), or boot table (BOOTP daemon) for an entry matching the unit's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then downloads the Internet address to the device.

NOTE:

If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can still perform the following instructions on how to download the Internet address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the Internet address wherever required.

Procedures

Download the Internet address to your DRM-6NX using the appropriate method for your system.

DHCP

Follow the steps below 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

entries made in this scope typically include the following parameters:

÷Range of Internet addresses ÷Subnet mask ÷Default router Internet address ÷Lease duration ÷Mail server Internet address

" for instructions. The

Basic Installation

÷DNS server Internet address ÷Domain name ÷NTP server Internet address

2.Activate the scope. In the DRM-6NX configuration file, DHCP is enabled by

default. The Internet address and all the other settings will be downloaded automatically.

NOTE :

It takes a few minutes to get the IP address from the DHCP server

ARP in Windows 95 and Windows NT

Perform the following commands to download the Internet address and verify correct Internet communication:

1.Start a DOS window and type the following command:

arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>

2. Ping the unit as follows:

ping <Internet address>

Example:

arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86 ping 172.16.253.80

ARP in UNIX and OS/2

Follow these steps to download the Internet address and verify the communication:

1.Type the following command:

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp

2.Ping the unit as follows:

ping <host names>

Example:

arp-s cdserv 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping cdserv

The host will return

'cdserv is alive'

, or a similar message to indicate that the address has been set and that communication is established.

NOTES:

Please note that when you execute the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time

The

arp -s

BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional argument

arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:l0:00:86 temp

command may vary from system to system. Some

ping

command for the

The host will return

'Reply from 172.16.253.80 . . . '

or some similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is established.

Important!

Windows 95 only:

If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping an existing unit on your network before setting the Internet address of your DRM6NX. Type

RARP in UNIX

Follow these steps to use the RARP method in UNIX:

1.Append the following line to your Ethernet address table. This is typically performed using the command

/etc/ethers:

Example:

00:40:8c:10:00:86 cdserv

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically done using the command

rarpd -a

4. Restart the DRM-6NX to download the Internet address.

Using BOOTP in UNIX

Follow these steps to use the BOOTP method:

1.Append the following entry to your boot table (typically

/etc/bootptab

where:

ht =ether vm =rfcl048 ha

=The Ethernet or node address, i.e. the

=The Internet address of the DRM-6NX

=The subnet mask

=The default router address

Example (Ethernet):

cdserv:ht=ether:vm=rfcl048:\ :ha=00408c110086:ip=192.36.253.80:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.36.253.254

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as described required by your system

3. Start the BOOTP daemon (if not already running) , typically by the command:

4. Restart the DRM-6NX to download the Internet address, default-router address and net mask

Basic System Settings

The PIONEER Network Cache Changer DRM-6NX can be configured using one of these tools:

÷Web browser - The DRM-6NX web interface is the

preferred administration tool. The Internet address must be set. See description below.

÷Text editor - The DRM-6NX text files. However, not

all administration tasks can be performed from this interface. Refer to

Accessing the DRM-6NX Web Pages

The DRM-6NX web interface is divided into two parts: ÷The File View page for browsing and accessing files

and folders on the discs. This page is available to all users.

÷The Administration pages for specifying configu-

ration parameters and access rights. These pages are intended for the Administrator only.

Access the DRM-6NX from a standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator or MS Internet Explorer. Follow these steps:

1.Start the Web browser

2.Enter the name or Internet address of your DRM-6NX in the location/address field:

http://< Internet address>

"Text Editor

The DRM-6NX Home Page is displayed

All users have full access to this File View page. From this page, users can display and access the discs inserted in the Changer according to their access permissions.

Basic Installation

3.Click on Administration to access Administration pages. You will be prompted to supply the Server password for the initial session. The defauit password is set to

'pass'

From the main menu you may access any of the following Administration tools:

÷This server - To specify system settings related

to a DRM-6NX, To refresh the hard disk cache. To Upgrade firmware on the changer

÷File Rights - To set up access rights to volumes,

files and folders

÷Discs & Drives - To manage the drives and the

inserted CD-ROM discs

÷Network Settings - To specify settings for the

network protocols to use

÷Event Log - To view the event log that contains

occurrences involving the DRM-6NX

÷Statistics - To display statistics on the DRM-6NX

NOTES:

To prevent users from accessing the volumes from the web interface disable the Enable access to volumes via Web browser (HTTP) parameter on the Network Settings - Web (HTTP) page
