Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB)

This section outlines the required configuration settings for running the Network Cache Changer DRM-6NX in the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) network environment, (i.e. Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT or OS/2). It also describes how to set up access restrictions for individuals and groups of users.

SMB (Server Message Blocks) is a protocol that uses NetBIOS. NetBIOS may be transported over several different network protocols. The DRM-6NX supports the following transport methods:

ÖSMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI

ÖSMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP (also designated NBT) Both protocols are enabled by default. However, you can disable the protocols not needed by setting the appropriate configuration parameters.

If you are using the DRM-6NX in a multi-protocol environment, proceed to the other relevant sections of the manual:

Öpp. 20 – 24 - NetWare (NCP)

Öpp. 25 – 26 - UNIX (NFS)

Öpp. 27 – 28 - Web (HTTP)
