Virtual CD/DVD Server - CDM

Set the IP Address
A valid TCP/IP address must be established for administrative access of the Virtual DVD Server. There are two methods for setting the address:

ROM-based IP Manager

Change the IP Address of the Workstation

ROM-Based IP Manager
The ROM-based IP Manager is a Win32 program that is stored in the Flash ROM of the Virtual DVD Server, and can be used to set the unit's IP address in a Windows 95/98/NT environment.

Configure the workstation
To access the program the "Client for Microsoft Network" and the Microsoft NetBEUI protocol must both be activated on the administrator's workstation.

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Network icon.
3. If both items are listed no further action is needed. If they are not listed click on the Add button.
4. Add the NetBEUI protocol.
   1. Highlight the Protocol option.
   2. Click on the Add button.
   3. Select Microsoft from the Manufacturers list.
   4. Select NetBEUI from the Network Protocols list.
   5. Click on the OK button.
5. Add the "Client for Microsoft Networks"
   1. Click on the Add button.
   2. Highlight the Clients option.
   3. Click on the Add button.
   4. Select Microsoft from the Manufacturers list.
   5. Select "Client for Microsoft Networks" from the Network Clients list.
   6. Click on the OK button.
6. Follow the screen prompts if Windows requests the Windows 95/98/NT CD-ROM.
7. Reboot the computer when prompted.

Assign the server IP address
Once the NetBEUI protocol and "Client for Microsoft Networks" have been initialized the ROM-based IP Manager may be used to set the IP address for the Virtual DVD Server.

1. Make sure that both the Virtual DVD Server and the workstation are connected to the network and powered on.
2. At the workstation, double-click on Network Neighborhood.
3. Browse the network by double clicking on Entire Network.
4. There will be a workgroup/domain with the name "Workgroup". Workgroups/Domains use an icon that is three PCs in a triangle or pyramid shape.
5. Browse this domain to find the Virtual DVD Server. The default name of the unit is SMBxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx are the last eight digits of the unit's MAC address.
6. Browse the Virtual DVD Serverä by double-clicking on SMBxxxxxxxx. Locate the root directory.
7. Browse the root directory and locate the file named srvsetup.exe. This is the ROM-Based IP Manager program.
8. Run the program by double clicking on srvsetup.exe.
9. The program will begin and the "Found Servers on the LAN" window will open. This window will display every Virtual DVD Server that is currently part of the network. Select the unit you wish to configure and click on the Setup button.
10. A Setup window will open. Make any necessary modifications to the server parameters (i.e., change the Server Name, IP Address, Domain Name as desired).
    1. To enable static IP configuration, place the correct IP address, and subnet mask in the appropriate fields.
    2. To enable dynamic IP configuration, place a check in the box for DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.
11. After changing the parameters click on the Set Button.
12. The Virtual DVD Serverä will restart itself. As the unit restarts the new parameters will be in effect.

Once the Virtual DVD Server has an assigned IP address, a web browser can be used to administer the unit.

Change the IP Address of the Workstation
The Virtual DVD Server uses the default IP address of 192.168.1.1, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. By changing the IP Address of the administrator workstation to be in the same Subnet, and IP range the Virtual DVD Server may be accessed via a web browser.

Load the TCP/IP protocol
The TCP/IP protocol must be installed on the administrator's workstation.

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Network icon.
3. If the TCP/IP protocol is listed no further action is needed. If it is not listed click on the Add button.
4. Highlight the Protocol option.
5. Click on the Add button.
6. Select Microsoft from the Manufacturers list.
7. Select TCP/IP from the Network protocols list.
8. Click on the OK button.
9. Follow the screen prompts if Windows requests the Windows 95/98/NT CD-ROM.
10. Reboot the computer when prompted.

Modify the IP Address of the workstation
The TCP/IP address must be in the same range as the Virtual DVD Serverä

1. After the PC has rebooted open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Network icon.
3. Select TCP/IP and click on the Properties button.
4. Select the IP Address tab.
5. If the radio button next to Specify an IP address is selected, the IP address field lists an address of 192.168.1.x (where x is a number from 2 to 254), and the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 no further action is needed.
   1. If the radio button next to Obtain an IP address automatically is currently selected, click on the radio button next to Specify an IP address.
   2. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.x (where x is a number from 2 to 254), and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
6. Click on OK to return to the Network properties window.
7. Click on OK.
8. Restart the computer when prompted. As the workstation restarts the new parameters will be in effect.

Modify the server parameters
The default IP address of the Virtual DVD Server is 192.168.1.1. By following the previous steps the workstation and the Virtual DVD Server are now in the same "Intranet". To access the Administrator's web utility of the Virtual DVD Server, and make any desired IP address modifications to the Virtual DVD Server:

1. Open a web browser on the workstation.
2. The URL of the Virtual DVD Serverä Administration main web page is http://192.168.1.1/admin. By default, there is no password for Administrator access.
3. To modify the server parameters (server name, domain, etc) click on the Server Setting button. This screen will also allow the Administration password to be modified. After any/all modifications are made click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen.
4. To modify the IP address click on the Configuration button. This screen will also allow all other protocols to be modified.
   1. Click on the TCP/IP link at the bottom of the page.
   2. The TCP/IP Menu page will open. Use this page to modify the IP address, subnet, enable DHCP, etc. After any/all modifications are made click on the Update button at the bottom of the screen.
      1. To enable static IP addressing place the correct IP address and Subnet mask in the appropriate fileds.
      2. To enable dynamic IP addressing click on the radio button next to "Obtain an IP address automatically." Then place a check mark in the appropriate box for how the IP address is to be assigned.
5. The Virtual DVD Server must be rebooted for any of these new server parameters take effect.
   1. Click on the Maintenance button.
   2. Click on "Shutdown".
   3. Click on "Yes, continue with shutdown".
   4. Power off the Virtual DVD Server when prompted.

After all TCP/IP modifications are made to the Virtual DVD Server, the original IP settings of the workstation may be restored.

Once the Virtual DVD Server has an assigned IP address, a web browser can be used to administer the unit.
