Accessing the Network Cache Changer Resources

The PIONEER Network Cache Changer DRM-6NX makes your networked CD/DVD-ROMs available to anyone who has the appropriate priviledges on the network. Users access the DRM-6NX just like any other workstation or file server.

This section explains how to choose access points when mapping the DRM-6NX. It also describes how to access the DRM-6NX resources in the following network operating systems:

ÖWindows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.x (SMB, NetWare)

ÖWindows NT 3.x (SMB)

ÖWindows for Workgroups (SMB, NetWare)

ÖOS/2 (SMB)

ÖDOS (SMB, NetWare)

ÖUNIX (NFS)

NOTES:

7The examples will assume that you have not changed the default server name. The default server name is PIONEER<nnnnnn> in the SMB environment and PIONEER<nnnnnn>_NW in NetWare. <nnnnnn> are the six last digits of the DRM-6NX serial number. If you have changed the server name, use the new name where the examples refer to the default name.

7Depending on the access rights set up by the Administrator, you might be prompted to supply a password or receive a message similar to ‘Access is denied’ when trying to access a shared resource on the DRM-6NX.

Access Points

The DRM-6NX is integrated into your network operating system just like any other file server thus using the same acess commands. To be able to access the discs from within various applications, mount the DRM-6NX (make it available) to your system. On PC systems this is typically done by mapping the DRM-6NX Changer to a drive letter.

The DRM-6NX offers several possibilities to specify access points:

ÖRoot level access: If the top level of the DRM-6NX directory structure is used as the access point, the user can access all the files on the DRM-6NX. This is useful for the Administrator, who wants to configure and monitor the DRM-6NX.

ÖVolumes folder access: If the Volumes folder is used as the access point, the user can access all the inserted or persistent discs inserted into the connected drives. On PC systems, this makes it possible to use one drive letter to accessall connected drives. This is the recommended access for network users.

ÖDisc access: If the folder for a particular disc is used as the access point, the user can access only the files on that disc. This is useful or even necessary with software that expects to find its data at root level.
