Access Control

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.

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.

Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g. CD_Server.

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 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.
