Virtual CD/DVD Server - CDM

Protocol Configuragtion
The network protocols are managed on this web page. After any changed are made to protocol settings the Update button at the bottom of the page must be clicked, and the Virtual DVD Server rebooted for any changed to take effect. Each protocol is made active by placing a check in the Enable box. By default all protocols are active.

CIFS/SMB
The Common Internet File System (CIFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) protocols are used by Windows, OS/2, and LAN Manager networks to share files and printers. Security can be set to Share Level or User Level by using the drop down list.

NCP
The NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) is used by Novell NetWare network servers and clients to provide access to files and servers. Security can be set to Share Level or User Level by using the drop down list.

The Auto Create User selection, and the Bindery Server entry will only be in effect if security is set to User Level.

NFS
The Network File System (NFS) protocol is used by Unix networks to share files and printers. By default User Level security is enabled.

HTTP
The Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used by the Internet, or World Wide Web. The Virtual DVD Server can function as a Web server by assigning an HTML file as the home page of the unit. Because the HTML file is on a CD-ROM, physical or Imaged, this provides a hacker-proof web server.

1. Select the radio button for Customized Home Page.
2. Use the Select CD drop down list to specify the Physical Share where the HTML file is located.
3. In the Path/Filename box enter the path to the specific HTML file.
4. Select the Security level using the drop down list.
   1. Share Level security, the default, allows for password protection of a share.
   2. "Users of SMB Primary Domain" security allows users defined by the SMB protocol section to access the Virtual DVD Server.
      1. The Auto Create Users function can be enabled if security is set to Users of SMB Primary Domain.
5. Click on the Update button.

TCP/IP
The Virtual DVD Server can use WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) to register itself in the WINS server database. To enable WINS support follow this procedure:

1. Select the Configuration button from the main Administration web page.
2. Scroll to the TCP/IP section.
3. Enter then IP Address of the WINS server in the appropriate box.
   1. Scope ID is used when NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enable on the workstations. If this protocol has been enabled, then every workstation group must have the same Scope ID for those computers to communicate within the group. The Scope ID box is commonly left blank.

The Virtual DVD Server can aquire an IP address through Dynamic IP Addressing.
