Section 6: Macintosh (AFP)

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.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.
