Create a CD-ROM/ISO Image

Follow the procedure below to create a CD-ROM image which can be accessed by the host system via the CAT-32 IP. The image file must be an ISO file format!

First, on your client PC you must create an image of your CD which can be accessed by the host system.

UNIX and UNIX-like OS

To create an image file, make use of dd. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, and Linux).

To create a CD-ROM image file, copy the contents of the CD-ROM to a file. You can use the following command:

dd[ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]

dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrom, and saves the output in the specified output file /tmp/cdrom.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.).

IP Access Configuration & Operation

Windows

To create the image file, use your favorite CD imaging tool. Copy the whole contents of the disc into one single image file on your hard disk.

For example, with ‘Nero’ choose ‘Copy and Backup’. Then, navigate to the ‘Copy Disc’ section. Select the CD ROM or DVD drive you would like to create an image from. Specify the filename of the image, and save the CD ROM content in that file.

Example:

1.Create a CD image and name it image.iso

2.Create a folder on your client PC and name it Test. Copy the file image.iso to the folder Test.

3.Now you need to ‘share’ this folder. Right click on the folder and select the option Sharing and Security. Select Share this folder and ensure the Share Name is set to Test. Click Permissions to set permissions for users who access this folder, according to your requirements. Click Apply then OK to complete.

4.Next you need to mount the image via a Windows Share. In the CAT-32 IP menu on the left hand side of the browser select Virtual Media and from the sub menu select CD- ROM Image.

5.Input the following parameters:

Share host:	Enter the IP address of your Console PC here (e.g. 192.168.2.103)
Share name:	Test	(The share name of the previously created folder)
Path to image:	image.iso	(the name of the CD image)
User:	super	(Your user name, the default is super)
Password:	pass	(Your password, the default is pass)
