READ BEFORE USE

SECURITY FEATURES

Information on the location of discs within the changer and information to access data on discs are strictly monitored and controlled from the changer control software and the upper-level database management software.

Because of this, if any changes in the status of the discs within the changer occur at a time when the changer is not under the control of the host computer (or in a network environment, under the control of a server), it becomes impossible to control the changer and drives and to read necessary files from discs.

Allowing discs stored within the changer to be removed without any restrictions poses a security risk, not only in that it would become impossible to access discs which have been removed but also in that it might lead to the damage or loss of discs.

Although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has been designed so as to open the front and rear access doors from the control panel (located at the top of the front of the unit) to remove magazines or to insert or remove discs through the mailslots, anyone who considers the security issues noted above will be able to understood that it is necessary to place restrictions on such operations.

This is why the control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has been fitted with a key switch which may be locked to disable operations of control keys. This switch cannot be unlocked without the key provided with the DRM-7000/DRM- 3000, and if the system administrator will always keep this key, it is impossible that ordinary users without key perform unauthorized operations from the control panel.

It is also possible to restrict the range of operations which are performed from the control panel. It means that a part of system administrator’s privileges is controlled by the command issued from the host computer and even if a system administrator has the key, the host computer makes it impossible to open the access doors, exchange discs, or perform other unfavorable operations for itself.

OFFLINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT

The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 provides the following features which makes it perfect for the management of offline media.

Removable disc magazines

Disc magazines may be removed from the changer with the discs left in the magazines. The use efficiency of the space within the changer may much improve if the infrequently used discs are collected in one magazine and it is taken out from the changer into the offline storage.

Unique disc magazine IDs

All disc magazines used in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are assigned unique ID codes which makes it possible to identify individual magazines simply by inserting them into the magazine bays.

All of the discs within an inserted magazine become

 

available immediately no matter which magazine bay it is

 

inserted into as long as the discs installed in the magazine

 

have been registered in the database as corresponding to

 

 

the magazine ID in question, and the same holds true when

English

a magazine is inserted into a different changer as long as

 

the changer in which it is inserted is under the control of

 

the same database.

 

Disc magazines designed for easy tracking and control

 

Removing, inserting or replacing discs in magazines after

 

they have been removed from a changer may destroy the

 

 

correspondence between discs and magazine IDs.

 

To solve this problem, Pioneer provides 50-disc magazine

 

which has a locking mechanism to prevent all attempt to

 

change the status of the magazine outside the changer

 

and hyper magazine which has a smart memory system

 

that records all user operations toward its lock/unlock

 

mechanism so as to make it easier to track and control

 

the use of offline media.

 

Registration of changer ID

 

When a disc magazine has been inserted into a changer

 

not under the control of the database management

 

software or into a changer belonging to another system,

 

the discs within that magazine may be rewritten or may

 

be replaced with other discs within that changer. Even if

 

the magazine in question is a locked-type, these

 

discrepancies between the discs actually contained within

 

the magazine and the information on those discs stored in

 

the database may be arise.

 

In order to prevent such problems from occurring, disc

 

magazines are designed to record the ID of the changer in

 

which they are used, and as long as the database has a

 

list of the IDs of changers controlled under the given

 

database, it is possible for the database management

 

software to determine whether or not a inserted disc

 

magazine has to be reinstalled by checking the changer

 

ID that may be read with the magazine ID.

 

However although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 changer and

 

disc magazines do provide the features needed for the

 

management of offline media, it should be noted that the

 

actual procedures and methods available for the management

 

of offline media may differ depending on the database

 

management software and changer control software being

 

used.

 

It should further be noted that it is necessary to establish

 

how to employ controls for the handling of offline media. In

 

fact if management controls are strict enough, it is even

 

possible to use normal-type disc magazines which would

 

ordinarily be unsuited for use in the management of offline

 

media, in the same way as one would use locked-type disc

 

magazines.
